Wait, She’s a Billionaire (Sheena Lawson) novel Chapter 1266

Moreover, they would face severe consequences if they denied it.

Lionel was the Deputy Chief of the National Investigation Bureau, and they dared not question whether he was joking or threatening them.

After thinking momentarily, Donald asked, "How many years will we be sentenced?"

Lionel smirked. "For life."

"What?!" Donald and Lacie were stupefied.

Lacie exclaimed, "Dear, is he pulling our legs? In exchange for the 375 thousand dollars, we have to bear the charge of trafficking and lifetime imprisonment? Even with all that money, we won't have a chance to enjoy it."

Donald was no fool, and he clearly realized that. However, Lionel was not someone he could easily provoke.

Hence, he could only try to persuade him with kind words, "Mr. Lionel, we're going to be in-laws, so let's talk about this as a family. Besides, I took Jacintha to Laubabwe for a vacation, and she got lost by accident. It wasn't intentional trafficking… You must have a way to solve this, right?"

Lionel replied, "Or, there's another solution. You obediently sign an agreement to cut off all ties with Jacintha from now on, promising not to contact each other again. But, you'll lose the first option."

This meant not only losing the money but also cutting ties, never enjoying any benefits from Jacintha again.

Donald remained silent.

Lionel's expression was intimidating. His overpowering aura was obviously the result of years on the battlefield, making it nearly impossible for Donald and Lacie to play any tricks in front of him.

With each passing moment, more neighbors gathered around, curious about the commotion.

Lionel furrowed his brows, growing impatient.

He glanced sideways at Jacintha, who gently rubbed her stomach as if she was hungry.

After all, they had not had dinner yet.
