"Laura, I didn't tell Greg to commit computer fraud. He did that on his own besides he had to make restitution with most of what he stole. All I got from his crime was this string of pearls."

I don't know what he ever saw in her to begin with. "Really? You don't know what Greg saw in Melissa?" Alex chuckled, "how about huge tits and a tight ass?" "Well, there's that." I admitted.
