Be Your Lover Forever (Alicia)

Chapter 1020

Vince and Saul swallowed hard and hesitated for a second before reaching out slowly. When they were inches away from the briefcase, the man immediately closed the briefcase up. "300 thousand dollars in cash, not a penny less! However, you can't just take it like that! I'm sure you know there are rules about things like this, right? If we pay you, this must end here!" Upon hearing the man's words, Saul nodded abruptly, "Understood, well settle everything here. You can leave right away with the goods!" "Actions speaks louder than words!"

As soon as these words were uttered, Vince and Saul seemed to understand what he was hinting. As their eyes met, Vince pulled out a notebook from his pocket. Obviously, he was well prepared. The notebook in his hand was tiny and looked like the type that one would jot down phone numbers in.

Quickly, Vince had written up a receipt for them.

As the man's eyes scanned the receipt, he said to them, "We can give you the money, but to avoid any possible troubles in the future, I'll need the both of you to stamp the receipt with your

fingerprints!"

Handing over the briefcase of money in one hand, he handed over a red stamp pad with his other.

Obviously, they didn't expect that to happen. Vince and Saul were evidently hesitant. They looked at each other again, neither one of them made a move.

At that moment, the man spoke again, "This is to make sure that you wouldn't provide us fake names. With your fingerprints in place, we will be able to track you down no matter what! So, do it or we are calling this deal off!" While speaking, the man was about to pull the briefcase away from them.

At the same time, Vince urged Saul eagerly and said, "Come on bro, we're talking about a valuable item here, it's reasonable!"

Then, the two of them looked at each other again. One grabbed the briefcase full of cash and the other took the stamp pad. Both of them signed their names on one side of the note and stamped their fingerprints beside it. "The fragments are yours now! So, the cash is ours then?"

"Of course!"

Taking the receipt from them, the man inspected it before turning and backing away.

Holding the briefcase, they turned away and walked in the opposite direction. In an instant, Victoria was anxious. "Hey..."

She turned to Trevor and tugged at his clothes. Was he letting them get away just like that?

Before she could say anything, several men in police uniforms rushed over and caught hold of the both of them. One of the policemen even opened the briefcase.
