A Vengeful Girl novel Chapter 489

Derek rolled his eyes cunningly, but he chose to tell the truth this time.

"I haven't seen Mr. Zhou after that. I was lured into gambling again by others. I had already won over three million with which I was planning to buy Lily a big house, but someone named Rex Wang told me that I could win more to buy a larger house if I would gamble with what I had already won, so I continued gambling. But I didn't expect that I would end up losing all the money and owing them two million."

It seemed that Derek had fallen into the same trap again.

Derek was already addicted to gambling, so he didn't realize that other people were using his weakness to trick him into losing money.

How pathetic.

Although Linda had asked Derek all the questions that were bothering her, there were still some things that weren't clear to her. But she was sure that she could not get more information from Derek.

It didn't seem like he knew anything about Vincent.

"Take him to the police station!" Linda waved her hand.

This time, Linda wanted to teach Derek a lesson. She had always let him off so easily, despite his wrongdoings. Derek would not realize his mistakes and mend his ways if he wasn't put into prison.

Since Derek was Donna's brother and Linda's uncle, Donna would be very sad if Derek was sentenced to several decades in prison. With this in mind, Linda asked Paul to suggest to the police to cut Derek some slacks, since this was Derek's first criminal charge.

However, Derek wasn't grateful to Linda. In fact, he despised her even more. He believed that if Linda hadn't caught him and taken him back, he would not be sent to prison.

People always feared facing the police and getting into jail, so, of course, Derek was no exception.

When Derek was taken away, he yelled at Linda to help him because he didn't want to be imprisoned. But Linda was already set with her decision, and she wouldn't back down on it.

After Derek had been sent away, Linda turned her head to Bun and asked, "Bun, was I too heartless? He is Lily's father, after all."

"My Lady, deep down, I know you are a kind person. But sometimes, you don't have a choice. If you don't teach Derek a lesson this time, he might continue scamming people out of their money by taking advantage of the Mu's Group's name. By then, he might get into graver dangers. Anyway, you have told Paul to help him reduce his sentence to a few years, so he can get released earlier than he deserves. He can use this time to reflect and repent his crimes and start anew after he's out."

Linda felt relieved after hearing Bun's words.

Now that Derek's matter had been dealt with, they still had to contact Lucas and offer him a solution. Since they couldn't help him get the two million back, they would just give him a chance to cooperate with the Mu's Group.

However, Linda still had to discuss it with Charles, And she could only talk to him about it after Charles would come back in the evening.

Gently tapping her fingers on the table, Linda was still confused about one more thing. Derek had owed an underground casino, managed by Vincent, three hundred thousand before. Now, he lost two million at the same place, but he didn't transfer the money to Vincent's bank account.

This matter needed to be investigated. At the thought of this, Linda told Bun, "Bun, help me check whose bank account was the two million transferred to."

"Don't worry, My Lady. It is being investigated now."

Since Bun was the senior officer of WSS, she would always be one step ahead and know what was under investigation currently. Sometimes, she could even sense what Linda would want her to do before she gave her the instructions.
