Substitute Marriage With the Illegitimate Son novel Chapter 1026

Janet turned her head toward the door as she heard someone coming in. She greeted, "Good morning, Sean. Do you want some breakfast? I have some sandwiches here."

She made all the food to give Brendon a choice of what he preferred for breakfast, but he didn't eat much as he had no appetite, and so she now had a lot of leftovers.

"Are they Mr. Larson's leftovers? No thanks, I don't want it," Sean replied apologetically. Suddenly, he gave Janet a weird look and said in a strange tone, "Mrs. Larson, did Mr. Larson update you on the situation?"

"No, my family said that the dash cam is currently being repaired in the Larson Group's technology department. I just came to check in on the situation," Janet explained. She felt that something was amiss from Sean's tone and gave him a curious glance. "Did you quarrel with Brendon? Anyway, he didn't even touch these sandwiches, so they are not really leftovers," she added.

Sean looked unhappy but he still politely replied, "I didn't quarrel with Mr. Larson."

He was just a little sad that a half-year bonus was deducted from his salary.

Just then, a colleague from the technology department appeared and greeted the two, "Hello, Mrs. Larson and Sean. This way, please."

Sean and Janet followed the colleague into the office, and they reviewed the footage captured by the repaired dash cam.

From the footage, they confirmed that someone had indeed tampered with the brakes in Sean's car. The culprit had a clear goal and acted really quickly. He was carrying a backpack filled with tools and was also very cautious as he wore a mask and black hat to hide his identity. The only obvious feature in the footage was his eyes.

"It seems that this guy had the intention to harm you, Mrs. Larson," Sean said in a serious tone. His breath quickened, and his expression suddenly became stiff. He crossed his arms across his chest and thought aloud, "The only clue we have is this pair of eyes. But many people in Barnes have single eyelids. It's going to be hard trying to locate him."

"You are right. Maybe, we can find out something from his clothes instead," Janet said while deep in thought. After careful observation, she pointed at the screen and said, "Look at his hat. It looks new. He must have bought it recently. It looks like a famous brand too. Although this brand has many shops in Barnes, at least we have a lead now right?" Sean smiled and agreed, "It should be doable. The Larson Group can offer a high reward for useful leads. This way, we don't need to act solely on our own. We can probably catch the culprit sooner with more people helping out."

Janet nodded and said, "This is the phone number of the person in charge of the investigation from the White family. If you need anything, you can contact him. I'm sure he can provide you with some clues too. You can also share information with each other." She then copied the footage into her thumb drive and continued, "I'll go back and watch it again carefully after work. I might have missed out on some details when we were watching it just now."
