Chapter 1025 The Dashcam
As soon as Sean left the 10th floor, Vivian rushed to the bathroom, her face contorting with panic.
Within seconds of Vivianâs entry, her complexion had taken on a deathly pallor. She stared at herself in
the mirror, in a tizzy, and forced herself to calm down.
She had heard the conversation between Sean and the technical staff loud and clear and was shocked
that they had managed to repair the damaged dashcam so quickly. Thinking back to the events of two
nights ago, fear crept up her spine.
She had hired someone to tamper with Seanâs convertible, hoping to take advantage of the fact that
Janet would also be at the party and Brandon would be occupied with a long meeting. She had thought
that even if Brandon found out something had happened to Janet, he wouldnât be able to save her right
away.
She thought she had all the odds in her favor. But as it turned out, something still went wrong. Vivian
had no idea how Janet had ended up on Wildepond Road, a route with few cars and a flat terrain that
had made the rescue mission easier.
In an effort to protect Janet, Brandon allegedly left the meeting with his business partners and
stockholders that evening.
Now, although Janet was safe, Brandon was seriously injured and in the hospital. The Larson Group
would surely investigate the matter thoroughly. If the video of the dashcam was restoredâ¦
Vivianâs mind raced with worry. In the end, she couldnât take it anymore and called the person she had
hired.
If it werenât for the critical situation, Vivian wouldnât have taken the risk and made the call.
Vivian hired a gambler, whose name was Roger Wilde, to do the deed that night.
When it came to shady and harmful things, Roger was a master of his art. When he answered the
phone, he too was panicking. âWhy are you calling me now?â he asked. âThe dashcam has been
repaired by the people of the Larson Group. If I donât call you, you wonât know how youâll meet your
demise,â Vivian said through gritted teeth. âI need to ask you something. Did the camera catch you at
the time?â
Roger chuckled, âSo what if it did? I was wearing a mask and a hat, my face was covered. Even if they
see me in the camera, so what? I donât think they can recognize me even if I stand right in front of them
now.â
Vivian was beyond frustrated. âDo you think youâve just offended some regular Joes? This time, both
Brandon and the White family are involved. Theyâre looking into it together. Even if your face wasnât
caught by the camera, they still have ways of tracking you down.â
But Roger was unafraid. âThe situation is dire. It looks like youâll have to give me more money.
Otherwise, donât blame me for spilling the beans when they catch me!â âIf you keep talking to me like
that, I wonât protect you,â Vivian warned. She realized that telling Roger everything was only digging
her own grave.
âWhatever. Everyone in Barnes knows the Larson Group. If I go down, youâre coming with me,â Roger
threatened. Obviously, Roger was more ferocious than Vivian.
Vivian took a deep breath and asked coldly, âHow much do you want?â
âFive hundred thousand dollars,â Roger demanded exorbitantly.
âFine,â Vivian said through gritted teeth.
She knew that no matter how much money she paid, it wouldnât stop Roger from eventually telling the
truth. The only way to keep a secret was to take it to the grave. She would have to go see Roger in
person.
Vivian gritted her teeth. âIâll give you the cash in person, and then you can flee. Thereâs an unfinished
building in the suburbs. Iâll text you the address. Meet me there.â
Roger didnât suspect a thing. âMiss Cooper, youâre so thoughtful. Iâll see you and the money at five
oâclock.â
At the same moment, Sean was on his way to the technical department. He opened the door, walked
in, and was surprised that someone had beaten him there. âMrs. Larson, who told you to come here?â
