Chapter 99

“They are going to offer him a deal…” Sofia mumbled as the soft sheets hit her body.

“That would not happen….” Alexander suddenly said.

“Huh?” Sofia widened her eyes and stared at his face. This only made her realize how close his face was to hers. Sofia blinked, caught off guard by Alexander’s proximity.

“They wouldn’t dare offer him a deal after everything he’s done…” Alexander said, his voice full of confidence that Sofia did not have at the

moment.

“That-” Sofia frowned. She was speechless for a moment. As if on cue, her phone that was still in her pocket vibrated. She immediately answered Karina’s call. Hearing Karina’s words about what just happened, Sofia’s face slowly changed. She looked at him, still flabbergasted by what Karina just told her.

The FBI found strong evidence that Lawrence was one of the top bosses of the smuggling ring. However, they also found a lot of evidence of him committing multiple crimes using other people’s names.

While listening, Sofia could not help but look at Alexander. She asked Karina to do a background check on Lawrence and even paid people to follow him around. However, she failed to find out anything. She even failed to find out any problems in the company.

The only proof that she had was Lawrence’s confession when he attempted to hurt Lianne. Sofia’s plan was honestly very simple. She talked to Lianne and offered her money to talk to Lawrence. Then she would be the star witness of the case against Lawrence.

In exchange, she prepared a new identity for Lianne with enough money for her to live for the rest of her life without working. It would be

something that would change Lianne’s life.

And the woman delivered.

She agreed to everything that Sofia wanted and seemed very happy to put her ex in prison. This would have been the nail in the coffin! The thing that would drag Lawrence to prison for life.

“Alright…” Sofia said. “Thanks for letting me know.”
