“Ethan faces a minimum of 10 years in prison. Pamela will lose her job, her reputation, and possibly go to jail as well. All the stolen money will be returned to its rightful heirs and we can have our marriages enulled under favorable conditions.”
Victor was silent for a long time, weighing the offer.
“You know,” he said finally, “I consider myself a good person. I do not wish harm on anyone, not even my enemies. But what Pamela did, it is a betrayal, not just to me, but to all those elderly people they robbed.”
“So, you agree to help?”
“Yes, I do.”
They talked for another hour, discussing the details of the plan. Victor was not only a decent person, but also practical. He agreed to monitor Pamela upon her return, record their conversations, and gather more evidence.
“By the way,” he said before leaving, “I have copies of all of Pamelas documents, passport, criminal record, tax returns. When we applied for the loan for the apartment, the bank asked for everything. Maybe it will be useful.”
“I am sure it will be. Thank you, Victor. Thank you. If it were not for you, I would still be living a lie, completely clueless. And Pamela along with your husband would still be stealing.”
