Chapter 489 The Cancelled Bank Account
Chapter 489 The Cancelled Bank Account
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.
An hour later, Paul came back. Derek had been sent to the police station. Paul told the police that
Derek had voluntarily surrendered himself to the police after committing fraud, and there was irrefutable
evidence enough to charge him with it, so the police agreed to sue Derek with a light sentence of three
years.
It was probably the best for Derek. He needed to spend time reflecting in jail to become a better
person.
People had always lost money in gambling. Having an addiction to it would never do anyone any good.
"My Lady, there has been some updates regarding our investigation, " Paul told Linda.
"Tell me."
"Derek had indeed transferred three hundred thousand to Vincent before, and the two million had also
been transferred to the same account. But when we asked the hackers to look into Vincent's bank
account, all of the money had been transferred to Adam Huo's account..."
Transaction records of bank accounts were confidential, so they had to hire hackers to check them
discreetly.
"That's strange. What does Vincent have to do with Adam?"
"I'm also curious about it. Besides, Vincent's bank account has been closed after Derek transferred two
million to it. Then, I checked all of Vincent's bank accounts, and all of them had been closed, too."
What was Vincent up to? He closed all of his bank accounts and transferred all of his money to Adam's
account. Did he do that for Lisa?
Linda had guessed that Lisa was pretending to be her while living in the Huo clan's house, so now, the
name Lisa did not exist.
If Vincent had really done such a thing because of Lisa, then what was Lisa's relationship with Adam?
Linda felt that there was a big conspiracy involving all these people, but it frustrated her to not know
what was happening.
Pregnant with twins, she was going to give birth in two months, so she had been even more fidgety.
In the beginning, Linda believed that she was being paranoid because she was pregnant and was
about to give birth. However, her sixth sense was always right, and she was guessing that something
bad might happen soon.
When she had been abducted by Amy before, she had also felt this flustered.
Linda shook her head, trying her best not to think pessimistically. At present, she just wanted to keep
her babies safe.
She thought that she should put aside those bothersome things, at least, for the moment.
Linda had never taken any action to get back at Lisa because she didn't want to involve herself in such
an unpleasant matter. After all Lisa was a pathetic person. But on the other hand, she was also NôvelDrama.Org is the owner.
detestable.
Nearly a year had passed since she got pregnant, and Linda felt that her belly had already reached its
peak. Her babies were going to be born very soon!
She had promised Lord Nalan before that she would go back to the Nalan clan's house once a week to
have meals with him. Linda planned to go to the Nalan clan this weekend to have lunch with Lord
Nalan and then go back home. She wasn't intending to spend a lot of time there since she was
pregnant and needed to take more rest. If she would want to spend more time with her grandfather, she
could always visit him after her babies were born.
Since she had promised to visit Lord Nalan once a week, she should do what she had said.
When Lord Nalan found out from the servants that Linda was going to visit him and join him for lunch,
he got excited, so he asked the servants to prepare lots of delicious food.
