Chapter 1768 Just Change It
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 to 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, n
e had to 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.
It was $200 million. The money-making demon, Lance Sheldon, could so easily abandon his plans because Yvette was too important, right?
Just when Yvette was immersed in her own thoughts, Lance interrupted her touching imagination.
“That’s because I found out that he wasn’t satisfied with the $200 million he took and wanted to transfer more money. To cut the losses in time, I had to reveal everything.”
As he said that, Lance noticed that Yvette’s face turned a little glum. He suddenly changed his tune and hastily added, “Of course, it’s more so because of you!”
Yvette looked at him and smiled reluctantly.
“Hah… Thank you.”
She really thought that she was that important to him.
It turned out that he was just cutting his losses.
Yvette took a deep breath. That touched feeling in her heart was swept away.
She lifted her feet and left. “I’m going back to my office. You should go back too…”
Lance somehow felt that Yvette was angry again.
He caught up to her. Once the door was opened, the people outside looked at the two of them and quickly averted their eyes.
They wanted to look, but they did not dare to.
It was as if they could come up with many stories with just one look.
Lance sensed that something was wrong and followed Yvette inside. Her office had been cleaned and tidied up.
Yvette was satisfied and sat on the chair. She spun around and patted the chair that was not so comfortable.
“I want another chair. Nicole has a good chair that she ordered from Switzerland…”
Lance nodded. “Okay, then let’s change it.”
As long as Yvette was happy.
“Um… Why do I feel like the people outside are acting weird? Why are they staring at me?”
Yvette froze for a moment. She then smiled meaningfully.
“Maybe they think that you’re good-looking?”
Why else? Yvette knew the reason all too well!
