NovelEnglishThe Substitute Wife: My Poor Husband Is A Billionaire
Chapter 1325 DeadlockVivi’s sudden death and the unfounded accusations and curses from Internet users left Janet in a state of unprecedented
depression.
Knowing that Janet was in a bad place, Brandon didn’t say much. He decided to hold her tightly and stay by her side. Both of
them were aware of the imminent danger that was waiting for them at every corner.
They felt like helpless preys targeted by a vicious predator.
The White family and Brandon’s subordinates were all efficient. Within one night of investigation, they managed to investigate
Vivi’s accident, digging for all the details they could find. The news was disappointing nonetheless.
On the day of Vivi’s car accident, the car she was driving was actually a new purchase. That same afternoon, she bought it from
an unlicensed dealer. She wasn’t the first owner of the car which turned out to be illegal too. With the dash cam damaged, no
evidence of what had happened during the crash was left. In addition, there were no security cameras where the car was parked
before it was sold. It was impossible to know if anyone had tampered with the vehicle. The only clue they had was footage from a
surveillance camera that caught Vivi’s car before her accident.
lane before colliding straight into the nearby roadside.
Considering the driving conditions at the time and how a human would normally react during an emergency, there were only two
possibilities: either the car had malfunctioned or the driver wasn’t in a prime driving condition.
As they studied the evidence, Janet and Brandon grew more certain that what had happened wasn’t an accident.
Everything that had happened until now was all linked to a bigger conspiracy. One that was done almost flawlessly.
“I’m afraid this entire incident was really aimed at us,” Brandon said. His voice was low but it reverberated in the room. With his
eyebrows knitted, he watched the surveillance footage of the accident. “That time when Vivi pleaded for forgiveness at the
hospital entrance was likely a part of their plan.”
Janet was still pondering every detail they knew, but she nodded. Finally, she said, “We had just arrived at the hospital when Vivi
appeared back then. The timing seemed too perfect. She must have known our schedule beforehand.
Some resourceful person must be supplying her with the information.”
Brandon considered her words and everything else. He was lost in thought for a while before he added, “Moreover, Vivi even
brought someone along to live- stream the incident. I thought it was just one of her accomplices, but after what had happened,
“The enemy is hiding really well. We, on the other hand, are in plain sight,”
Janet said. A grim expression settled on her face. “The live stream at that time wasn’t so Vivi would gain the users “sympathy. It
was part of a bigger plan. The mastermind wanted the users to suspect me, with the live stream as their basis.”
“That should be the case,” Brandon agreed. “They used these two events to provoke the users’ emotions. They want to direct the
target toward you. Furthermore...”
Janet’s eyes were calm as she said, “Furthermore, visit ninja.com as your wife and the daughter of the White family, the
stocks of the Larson Group and my family’s company will surely be affected by this.” Janet’s gaze turned cold in an instant.
“What a clever way to kill three birds with one stone.”
Brandon looked down at the file his subordinates brought. He examined the evidence once more. After a while, he frowned and
said, “What’s even more cunning is that Vivi, for fear of media harassment or our retaliation, chose a route without surveillance
cameras when she left the hospital. There’s no way to find out where she went or whom she met after she left.”
Janet’s gaze landed on the documents as well. She studied each of them as carefully as she had just several moments ago. And
just like earlier, she came out empty-handed.
A raging headache was brewing in her temples. She rubbed them while saying, “The people behind it had spent a long time
calculating all this. So far, every step they took was perfect. They want us to go through mountains to find clues.”
“Let’s start investigating by other means,” Brandon suggested. “With how meticulous they were, I doubt we’ll find anything from
the car accident. Let’s begin by looking into the people that Vivi had any kind of contact with recently. We’ll investigate everyone
we can, including her colleagues, friends, and even strangers she may have spoken to.”
