Vivian found Janet foolish and ridiculous. With someone so stupid like Janet as Brandon's wife, the Larson Group would eventually go bankrupt.
Vivian then nodded solemnly and replied, "Don't worry, I won't let anyone find out."
After hearing Janet's story, she said with a sigh, "I didn't expect things to get so complicated. Did you get hurt?"
Janet suddenly became gloomy and her face turned grim. "I'm doing fine, but Brandon is still in the hospital. Something just went wrong with my car and I lost control of the brakes. Brandon was the one who saved me and my friend."
It was then that Vivian looked away, pretending to be surprised by the story. "How could a perfectly functioned car suddenly stop working? I think we should head to the car manufacturer. Perhaps they've been cutting corners in the manufacturing of the cars and it led to this tragedy."
"It's definitely not the manufacturer's fault. Clearly, someone tampered with my car," Janet said flatly.
At this point, Vivian became serious. "Who would do something like that? We need to find out who did this and punish them for this awful act!"
After observing Vivian's reactions, Janet smirked and replied, "This isn't over. One way or another, I'll find out who's been trying to hurt me. I'll chase them to the ends of the world if I have to. I won't let them get away with this."
Vivian looked away from Janet's smiling eyes. For some reason, she felt like Janet seemed aware of the entire situation.
But when Vivian looked back at Janet, she noticed that the other woman looked absolutely clueless.
"What's wrong? You don't look so good," Janet asked.
Vivian tried to compose herself. She led herself to believe that she was just overthinking things. Someone as stupid as Janet wouldn't figure out her plan.
"I'm just a little scared about all this. Mrs. Larson, you are the kindest person I've ever met. I can't believe someone would try to kill you! What's this world coming to?" Vivian replied with a worried look once she had calmed down.
Wearing a look of worry and fear as well, Janet heaved a sigh. "I'm just worried that this is over. I don't know what I'm going to do from here on out." "Mr. Larson can handle it. I'm sure. All you need to do now is to take care of yourself whenever you're out," Vivian remarked.
