Substitute Marriage With the Illegitimate Son novel Chapter 1037

"It's clear as day that Vivian and Charis were acquainted," Brandon admitted to Janet. "I suspect that Vivian had something to do with the recent events, but I don't have any concrete evidence to prove it yet," Brandon told Janet.

Lately, the two of them had been too exhausted to delve into the topic. But after seeing Garrett, Brandon felt much more at ease and decided to discuss the matter with Janet.

"Initially, I thought Vivian was a kind, beautiful, and enthusiastic person," Janet reflected, feeling like her previous assessment was too shallow. She didn't know much about Vivian, but she had jumped to conclusions too quickly. "What else have you from your investigation so far?"

"Just now, Sean came in and gave me an update on the investigation. He discovered that the car accident wasn't caused by Kathie and Ameer," Brandon replied, before leaning down to give Janet a long kiss. "You asked Sean to look into the casino. There's been some progress on that front. The man who frequently visited the casino was named Roger. According to the casino's dealer, Roger hasn't been to the casino for two days and no one had seen him ever since. It looks like he's gone on the lam."

"What does Roger do for a living?" Janet wondered, planning to personally investigate when she had some free time.

"Roger makes his money illegally. We don't know if he fled, vanished, or met with an untimely demise, and it will be difficult to find out. Don't even think about going to the casino by yourself. It's not safe for you to go alone," Brandon warned, knowing that if Janet acted alone, she might put herself into potentially dangerous situations.

"Are you afraid that I'll be a hindrance to you and cause you more trouble at a time like this?" Janet furrowed her brow, feeling down as she remembered her past experiences.

She felt so useless.

Noticing her struggle to hold back her emotions, Brandon explained patiently, "I understand your concern, but I want to move forward with the next steps after we fully understand Vivian's motives. It's still too early. If we act too hastily, we could alert the enemy."

"If Vivian truly is behind all of this, then we should just keep our distance from her. To what end does she still remain a member of the Larson Group?" Janet shuddered at the thought, feeling scared.

Rubbing her shoulders, Brandon gave her a comforting smile. "You know it's not in my nature to turn tail and run. Plus, that pharmacist is a thorn on my side. I need to remove him from the equation completely."
