Substitute Marriage With the Illegitimate Son novel Chapter 777

Punishment

Brandon reached for Janet's hand and squeezed it. He looked into Janet's eyes for a few seconds and then broke into a smile.

He knew what she meant.

"Take this as a lesson learned and don't make deals with strangers ever again." Seeing that he had driven his point home, Brandon told her the truth. "The police will return the money to you after the investigation. Don't worry."

Janet's eyes instantly lit up. Then she glared at Brandon and asked, "Why'd you lie?"

"So that you wouldn't make the same mistake again." Brandon only hoped that Janet could learn from this. This time, she had only lost some money. The next time, she might not be so lucky.

But Janet didn't have the heart to be angry with him now that she knew she could get her money back. "I can't believe Allie's going to get away with this so easily. Going to prison for fraud is such a light punishment."

"Don't worry. She'll get what she deserves," Brandon said cryptically, implying something deeper.

"What do you mean?" Janet looked at him questioningly.

She felt that the look in his eye was a bit strange.

"She has committed multiple crimes. If she's convicted of all of them, she'll be imprisoned for a good number of years." Brandon didn't want to give too much away, so he didn't explain himself further.

But he knew very well that the evidence of Allie's crimes were solid enough to jail her for a very long time. The second she was put behind bars, no one could save her.
