Chapter 534

Lundy started to speak, “About this whole thing, it’s been bugging me for years. To be honest, I’ve never even met this Julia person. But back then, my greed got the better of me and I made a terrible mistake. I wanted that huge sum of money. The deal was for me to handle a large amount of funds discretely, through bank procedures. To put it bluntly, it was money laundering. I secretly went through with it, never imagining that I was digging my own grave.”

But this money must be claimed within a certain time frame after the twenty years, and the information must remain confidential, otherwise, it’ll be returned and the identity of the original account holder will be revealed. If this old case is reopened, it could be very dangerous. The person who set the trap wouldn’t be that dumb.
