Chapter 332 Money Laundering Made Simple

"

While they were outside sitting at a table on the deck, Scarlett was busy cutting out rectangles. She was going to teach him about money laundering and she was making visual aids. He smiled at the intense look on her face as she prepared her presentation. He never imagined the hot blonde bending over her car would turn out to be an outlaw with money laundering skills.

"OK," Scarlett said beginning her lesson, "say you found a big bag of money a drug dealer lost. You don't want to turn it into the cops."

"Because they would use it to buy donuts or just steal it," Jax interrupted.

"I don't see David Hale stealing money, but I don't know about the rest of the Charming police force."

"I agree with you about Hale. He's always been annoyingly honest."

"He's a decent guy," Scarlett said. "I think he would be boring as hell if you had to spend too much time with him."

"So I don't need to worry about him stealing you away from me?"

"If I wanted to be with him, I'd be with him."

That was another thing he liked about Scarlett. She was straightforward about her feelings and didn't try to use Hale to make him jealous.

Scarlett continued her explanation using a writing tablet to provide additional diagrams for her money laundering explanation. When she finished, Jax looked at her with astonishment.

"I understand," he grinned at her. "I can't believe it, but understood everything."

"It was the visual aids," Scarlett said modestly.

"I have to confess that I thought you were a little crazy cutting out the money, but it really helped."

"I knew I could explain it so you would understand."

"How would you feel about explaining it to my MC?"

"Complete with visual aids?"

"Of course. I know Bobby has a guy that does money laundering for him from time to time, but I don't think he even understands what the guy does. He gives the guy money and the guy gives him back less money and says it's been washed."

"That's typically how it's done. The money launderer takes a percentage and then gives back the money. He might be legit or he may be taking advantage of him. I don't mind explaining as long as they guys don't tell anyone about my money laundering presentation."

"They won't say anything. With this Mayan agreement, there might be some money that might need to be cleaned."

"That brings me to part two of my presentation," Scarlett said.

Her enthusiasm made him smile and shake his head.

"What is part two?"

"This part of the presentation is only for you."

"That sounds promising."

Scarlett was leaning forward causing the fabric of her blue top to pull tight against her breasts and giving Jax a view of her cleavage.

"Part two doesn't involve you looking down the front of my shirt," she said tartly.

Jax laughed, completely unembarrassed about being caught.

"It's biology. I see breasts and I have to look."

"You see them and then you keep trying to see them again. They haven't changed."

"I know, but I just can't keep myself from looking," Jax said chuckling.

"Just as long you keep your eyes off other girls' breasts, we'll be good."

"I'm OK if you want to look at other girls' breasts."

"That's very open minded of you. I'm not that open minded."

Scarlett next explained what businesses work best for money laundering. She suggested finding a business that does a lot in cash like a laundromat, a self-service car wash or some kind of service/consulting business.

"The guys are going to be impressed at how smart my old lady is," Jax said.

"Old lady?"

"You're my old lady. It's MC speak for serious girlfriend or wife."

"Hmmm . . . I'm not sure I like the old part of that."

"It doesn't mean you're old."

"I can feel my relationship fear start to rise. I don't know why, but I get this impulse to run."

"You can't physically run and I can't chase after you very well in my condition. We're stuck together."

"At least until one of us gets better," Scarlett said with a smile.

Jax wasn't entirely sure Scarlett was joking.
