The police made it sound very simple as if Mr. Lawrence could go home once he was done.
However, Mr. Lawrence knew that it was impossible.
Even if they could recover $200 million, he was still guilty as charged.
Lance was so forgiving only because the money still had not been recovered, so they still needed his cooperation in many aspects.
Mr. Lawrence also understood this very well.
He was at the end of his rope, so he had no choice but t o cooperate till the end.
Mr. Lawrence nodded, turned his head to look at Lance, then followed the police and left.
Once everyone was gone, Yvette sighed.
"$200 million..."
Lance saw her heartbroken look and suddenly felt a little relieved that she finally appreciated how difficult it was to make money as soon as she took office.
Just as he was about to compliment her, Yvette’s regretful voice rang out.
"How many bags can I buy with $200 million?"
Lance's opened mouth snapped shut in an instant. He looked at her with a calm face and laughed.
"Don't worry, I still have enough for you to buy bags..."
Yvette’s mood instantly got better. She went over to hug his arm and shook it.
"I knew that my husband's loaded!”
Lance was speechless.
Yvette said, "But you didn't just find out about this, right? Why didn't you call the police earlier?"
Lance hesitated slightly but still spoke.
"Because I suspect that there's a mastermind behind this. This money was originally used in an important project. Once it’s gone, those few that know about it would certainly take advantage of the situation to do something. That way, won’t we know the real destination of the money?"
Yvette's eyes widened. Her body stiffened a little, and her mood was complicated. "You already have a plan? Then why did you still... Was it because of me?"
It was because Yvette suddenly proposed to be the vice president. To get her into a new position, he had t o dismiss Mr. Lawrence so that she could replace him.
Was all this for her?
Yvette’s heart sank for a moment. However, underneath that weight, there was a bubble of sweetness.
This was not a small amount.
