Should she win Natalie’s confidence only to double -cross both Natalie and Brandon later, the ensuing drama would be even more riveting… Suzanne lounged by the window, cradling a glass of red wine. A sinister smile, mirroring Jeremy’s own, played on her crimson lips.
In the tech division of the Larson Group, Brandon was ill at ease, opting to personally monitor the surveillance footage around Suzanne’s company alongside Sean. Weeks of sleepless nights spent in investigation left Brandon’s eyes tinged red and exhaustion evident in his features. Yet his voice retained its characteristic calm.
“Have we examined every lWr individual entering and exiting their premises? Noticed any unusual activity?”
Sean confirmed with a nod.
“Every individual has been examined. One person did stand out as peculiar. He doesn’t appear to be associated with Star Entertainment’s roster of Internet celebrities.”
The surveillance footage zoomed in on a man, dressed in black attire and donning a hat. Sean pointed him out.
“This guy is Jeremy Button, the new head of the Turner Group. I can’t fathom his business with Star Entertainment.”
Brandon’s brow furrowed as he scrutinized the man on screen, deep in contemplation. Jeremy had been on his radar ever since he took over Vivian’s shares given by the Turner family and seized control of the Turner Group.
Initially, Brandon had dismissed Jeremy as a crafty entrepreneur seeking to amass wealth through his acquisition of the Turner Group. However, his suspicions piqued upon learning about Jeremy’s association with Suzanne and witnessing his departure from Star Entertainment.
An unsettling feeling gnawed at him. When Vivian had set her sights on him and Natalie, Jeremy had likely played a role.
Additionally, the links between Vivi’s demise and Jeremy seemed… Could all of these merely be a coincidence? Cold determination filled Brandon’s narrowed eyes. Whether or not Jeremy was directly involved, these seemingly random occurrences were certainly not as innocuous as they appeared! Jeremy might just be the key to unraveling this mystery.
Brandon immediately dispatched his team to dig deeper into any potential connections between Jeremy and Vivi. He was also keen to uncover Jeremy’s activities and interactions preceding Vivi’s death. But, despite exhaustive efforts, the investigation drew a blank. Perusing the report handed to him by his subordinates, the disconcerting sensation within Brandon amplified.
“Everyone leaves a trace. How is it possible that we’ve found no evidence of his actions?”
Sean shared Brandon’s puzzlement.
“It’s as though his trail has been meticulously wiped clean. Information about him is severely limited, confined to a handful of basic facts available online.”
Tapping a rhythm on the table, Brandon’s gaze hardened.
“Continue the investigation. I refuse to r., believe that we can’t uncover anything substantial about him.”
Taking note of his instructions, Sean intensified the probe into Jeremy. Brandon swiveled his chair towards the screen displaying Jeremy’s image, his eyes icy. He was intent on unraveling the enigma of Jeremy.
Despite their persistent efforts, the investigation into Jeremy hit a wall.
However, a breakthrough materialized unexpectedly from Suzanne’s side.
It was discovered that Star Entertainment utilized a mysterious pill reputed for enhancing physical appearance and sculpting ideal figures. This unique advantage was what set the Internet celebrities under Star Entertainment apart from their competitors.
Having previously unearthed information about a clandestine pharmacist, Brandon harbored deep suspicion towards such unusual substances.
Without delay, he dispatched Sean to hand over a sample of the pill to Frank for immediate analysis.
He speculated that Vivi’s fatal accident might be tied to this pill.
“Wait,”
Brandon massaged his temples, continuing his instructions.”Also notify the police about the
Internet celebrities under Star Entertainment who have been using these pills for aesthetic enhancement over an extended period. They should be brought into the investigation.”
Sean promptly fulfiled his task, handing over the pills to both Frank and the police.
The police report came in shortly.
The authorities informed Brandon that Vivi’s tragic car crash resulted from her prolonged use of a highly dangerous drug, which had severely compromised her brain function and physical health.
When Vivi was behind the wheel, an underlying condition triggered by the drug erupted, rendering her incapable of reacting in time to prevent the crash. The direct impact against the roadside led to the fatal incident.
Upon hearing this news, Brandon’s suspicions solidified.
Yet, he still lacked incontrovertible evidence.
“Did we receive the drug analysis report from
Frank?”
Brandon sipped his coffee, his voice deep and stern.
“This drug is most likely implicated in
Vivi’s death.”
Sean shook his head,replying,”Dr. Watson mentioned that the drug’s composition is complex, so the analysis will take a while.”
As Brandon scrutinized the police report, he voiced his concern,
“Vivis demise is likely tied to that elusive pharmacist. Did your investigation unearth any leads?”
Sean, feeling a sense of foreboding, responded,
“We haven’t stopped tracking the pharmacist, but we’re yet to make any significant headway.”
A throbbing headache persisted as Brandon wrestled with the question of who this enigmatic pharmacist could be and why all leads about him led to dead ends.
At that moment, Brandon’s phone chimed-it was
Frank calling with the results of the drug test. He stated,”According to our analysis, the drugs
Suzanne administered to her employees have substantial side effects.”
This revelation fell within Brandon’s anticipation, and he asked composedly,
“Do the authorities have any record of this medication?”
Frank clarified,
“The detrimental effects of this drug are extensive, potentially damaging a user’s nervous system and internal organs. It would never get past the authorities’ screening, nor be allowed on the market. Therefore, it hasn’t been approved and I’ve heard nothing of it being available commercially.”
“Predictable,”
Brandon responded, his voice laced with a sneer.”Forward the test report directly to the police for further investigation. They should find it useful.”
Frank agreed, but added hesitantly,
“It occurs to me that this situation might be linked to the medication you took previously.”
