The police officer, upon hearing Laci’s words, shook his head and let out a long sigh. He turned to Terry and said, “We have advised and spoken to her, but she doesn’t believe us police officers. So, we can only wait for her to realize she has been deceived and then come to the Police Station to file a report.”
Terry almost knelt down in a humble posture, bending over in sorrow, and pleaded, “No, officer, please, I beg you, help me. I can’t repay two million!”
The police said, “How about we invite your wife back to the Police Station and try to persuade her again?”
Upon hearing this, Laci stomped her foot and shouted in frustration, “I’m not going to the Police Station, you guys go, I’ve already said that I wasn’t scammed, why don’t you believe me? Don’t you want to see me get rich?”
I helped my mother sit up and walked over to Laci, saying, “Laci, immediately withdraw the principal. If you can withdraw the principal, I will pay you the profit you lost.”
Laci snorted and gave me a disdainful look, saying, “Forget it, your mom asked you to give her some pocket money, but you’re always penny–pinching. What money could you possibly have?”
I was so angry that my chest hurt. I clenched my fist tightly and spoke in a gentle tone, “Laci, can’t you listen to advice? The police have been advising you for so long, do you really think they would harm you?”
“They didn’t understand this investment platform at all,” Laci said confidently, “Wait until I make money, then you’ll be envious.”
Kaleb walked up to me and calmly said, “Laci, as long as you can prove that you haven’t been deceived, I will compensate you ten times the amount of profit you lost.”
Everyone in the room looked at Kaleb in astonishment, and my mother, Belinda, also stopped crying. She slowly stood with my
father, Owen, looking particularly nervous. The two police officers also sized up Kaleb. up Laci squinted her eyes and calculated in her mind: the man in front of her was the heir of the Barton Group, and his personal net worth alone was over a billion. The assets of the Barton Group were even more immeasurable.
