Brandon reached for Natalie’s hand and squeezed it. He looked into Natalie’s eyes for a few seconds and then broke into a smile. He knew what she meant.
“Take this as a lesson learned and don’t make deals with strangers ever again.”
Seeing that he had driven his point home, Brandon told her the truth.
“The police will return the money to you after the investigation. Don’t worry.”
Natalie’s eyes instantly lit up.
Then she glared at Brandon and asked, “Why’d you lie?”
“So that you wouldn’t make the same mistake again.”
Brandon only hoped that Natalie could learn from this.
This time, she had only lost some money.
The next time, she might not be so lucky.
But Natalie didn’t have the heart to be angry with him now that she knew she could get her money back.
“I can’t believe Allie’s going to get away with this so easily. Going to prison for fraud is such a light punishment.”
“Don’t worry. She’ll get what she deserves,” Brandon said cryptically, implying something deeper.
“What do you mean?”
Natalie looked at him questioningly. She felt that the look in his eye was a bit strange.
“She has committed multiple crimes. If she’s convicted of all of them, she’ll be imprisoned for a good number of years.”
Brandon didn’t want to give too much away, so he didn’t explain himself further. But he knew very well that the evidence of Allie’s crimes were solid enough to jail her for a very long time.
The second she was put behind bars, no one could save her. Even if someone wanted to bail her out, it was futile.
Not under the Larson Group’s watch.
Of course, Allie didn’t know that the Larson Group had eyes in the prison.
Despite having worked there for years, she had no idea just how powerful Brandon’s company was.
Since her case hadn’t gone to trial yet, she was temporarily detained in the police station.
There were all kinds of criminals in the detention room where all criminals were locked up before trials.
Allie didn’t fit in at all.
The leader of her in-mates made her life a living hell.
“Hey, bitch! Come here and massage my feet.”
