Substitute Marriage With the Illegitimate Son novel Chapter 1027

Desiring not to draw unnecessary attention from her other coworkers, Janet discreetly signaled to Tasha to lower her voice.

Fortunately, it was still lunch break, so many of their colleagues had left the office and the ones who remained were occupied with their own tasks, oblivious to Janet and Tasha's conversation.

With a sigh, Janet confided in her friends about the recent events and asked them to keep it between them.

"Oh, I see." Tasha was rather unfazed by the news. Coming from a wealthy family, she was no stranger to this kind of situation. She just told Janet to always watch her back when going out.

"From the looks on your faces, it seems like you think this kind of thing is quite normal," Elizabeth interjected. "I've never encountered anything like this in my life. Dealing with a lunatic like Jorge was torture enough for me! How can you be so calm, Janet?"

Janet gave a small, wry smile. Instead of being discouraged, her eyes shone with determination. "I've been numbed to the fact there're always people who try to harm me. I can't really stop them, nor will I run away from it though. In fact, I'll make them pay for their actions."

Tasha, inspired by Janet's fierce demeanor, felt inclined to stand and give her a round of applause. "You have to understand, these people enjoy bullying the weak. If you stay quiet and take it, they'll only become more arrogant and continue to hurt you."

"Wait, I think we should try to be level-headed for now," Elizabeth said evenly. "Shouldn't we try to identify the person who tampered with the car first?" Janet let out a barely audible nasal sound, something between a hum and a sigh.

"I'll show you the man in the video first. You can check him out for me." With that, she took out the flash drive containing the copied footage from the car's dashcam and inserted it into the computer.

"His face was covered so tightly that I wouldn't be able to recognize him even if I saw him on the street," Tasha remarked, clearly distressed.

Elizabeth, standing next to Tasha, perked up and suddenly exclaimed, "Freeze it!"

Janet paused the video, curious. "Have you seen anything?"
