Substitute Marriage With the Illegitimate Son novel Chapter 1029

Vivian did a background check on Roger before she hired him for her plan. She found out that he was not a native of Barnes, and his family had been living in a small town in the south. He had been living here in Barnes alone for more than 10 years and therefore lost contact with all his family members. He didn't have many friends except for a group of gamblers who he always hung out with.

Roger always took on shady jobs. Whenever he accepted one, he would be gone for a few months, sometimes even up to a year.

His body now lay at the bottom of an unfinished structure.

Vivian had chosen the particular building for her plan to get rid of Roger as it was marked as hazardous. There was not a single soul inhabiting the building and no one would enter it casually. It was the perfect place as no one would find him there.

Vivian was confident that by the time someone found Roger's body, all that was left would be skin and bones. He would be unrecognizable.

She calmed herself down as she got into her car, assuring herself that everything was over. She then drew in a deep breath, started the engine, and drove off.

Meanwhile, Janet went home to get her things. She then made lunch for Brandon before departing for the hospital.

Janet felt something was amiss as she entered Brandon's ward. The atmosphere was depressing and bodyguards were standing in every corner of the room. She glanced around and felt that the ward became dimmer with so many people blocking the lights. She found this weird as the VIP room was spacious enough to have a sofa and bed and still have enough room for walking.

Janet widened her eyes in surprise and asked, "Why are there so many bodyguards in the ward?"

Brandon was sitting on a sofa instead of lying on his bed. Beside him were two strong and tall bodyguards standing straight and alert. There was also a man and a woman with sacks over their heads kneeling in front of him.

Janet looked at Brandon doubtfully and questioned warily, "Honey, what's going on?"

"Why didn't you lock the door?" Brandon said accusingly as he frowned at Sean.

He then turned to Janet and said gently, "Don't worry about this. I don't want to get you involved. Wait for me outside, okay? I'll be quick."

He obviously did not expect Janet's arrival.

Sean hung his head and apologized, "I'm sorry, Mr. Larson. I was in a hurry and forgot to lock the door." He then walked to the door and opened it. "Mrs. Larson, would you like to go out and wait for a moment?" he said awkwardly but firmly.

Sean was not his usual gentle self. He was worried that Janet might be frightened if she witnessed Brandon's anger.
