Chapter 1333 Plot Failed


    J''s sincerity and warmth gradually thawed the apprehension of the elderly couple.


    They began to see her in a new light, realizing perhaps they had been wrong about her role in their


    daughter''s demise.


    Noticing his wife''s difort, the elderly man wished to spare her further distress. After a brief


    inner struggle, he decided to ept J''s goodwill. With a grateful nod, he expressed, "Thank


    you. Your kindness is appreciated."


    Lexi and Sean stepped in at the right moment, assisting the elderly couple, guiding them away to


    settle down.


    As the couple was escorted away by J''s subordinates, the burly men, suddenly bereft of their


    golden goose, thrashed about violently. Their resistance was such that even the bodyguards


    struggled to hold them back.


    Their trip to Barnes had one purpose—to secure a heftypensation. But with the bereaved


    parents refusing any such rpense, their journey seemed futile.


    Breaking free, one burly man spat out his gag. He spun around to face the elderly couple, bellowing


    with rage, "We journeyed here to win justice for Vivi, and you decline thepensation? Why are


    you here then? What good is justice to us? Demand money, you fools! Money! Don''t you get it?"


    His words ignited a fury within J. Could these people be so heartless?


    Their focus was solely on the money, with no regard for the truth behind Vivi''s death. Moreover, they


    showed no concern for the parents'' profound


    heartache and sorrow.


    Just as J was on the brink of losing her patience, the old woman halted. She turned to face the


    ruffians, her eyes brimming with tears.


    J felt a surge of worry, fearing the old woman might be swayed by the thug''s harsh words.


    To her surprise, the elderlydy turned to J, uttering an apology, "I''m sorry."


    J was taken aback, only to hear the woman rify with a sense of defeat, "These individuals


    are merely distant rtives. They came hoping to wring some money from you. They hold no


    connection to us."


    The older man also dered heatedly, "They''ve shown no concern for Vivi! Either send them


    packing or turn them over to the authorities. It''s all the same to us!"


    Caught off guard by this firm response, the bullies looked poised to unleash threats, but Brandon''s


    stern nce halted them. Aware of both J and Brandon''s reputations, they swiftly retreated.


    Despite their simple vige upbringing, they knew when to push and when to back off.


    Thus, their silence brought the disturbance to a close.


    Watching the scene from the sidelines, Suzanne clenched her jaw in bitter resentment.


    Vivi''s kin were just as useless as she was!


    She had organized a flock of reporters outside, yet in the face of such a golden opportunity, they''d


    failed to cast J as the viin!


    Now, after a mere warning from Brandon, these spineless individuals were too timid to even ask for


    damages. It appeared they wouldn''t dare to meddle with J again.


    All her careful nning was for naught!


    Worthless! Absolutely worthless! They were all


    worthless!!


    Suzanne was seething internally, but she maintained a remorseful front. "Ms. White, I apologize. I


    failed to defuse the situation, leading to today''s events."


    J''s suspicion of Suzanne deepened with every passing incident.


    Suzanne always seemed like an innocent bystander, but each time trouble arose, it felt as if she


    were subtly stirring the pot.


    From Vivi''s tearful pleas for mercy to her family''s demands forpensation, Suzanne''s behind-


    the-scene role was ambiguous. But one thing was certain—J wasn''t about to let anyone


    manipte her anymore.


    She offered a serene smile and responded, "No harm done, Ms. Duncan. Your intentions were


    good."


    Suzanne sighed as if carrying a heavy burden. "Still, I feel ountable. I don''t want to impose on


    Ms. White further. Since Vivi was under my employ, perhaps I should tend to her parents?"

    J returned her smile, a warm expression on her face. "Your generosity is appreciated, Ms.


    Duncan. However, they have endured enough. Let''s not add to their troubles and allow them some


    peace."


    J was determined to ensure that the care of Vivi''s parents was entrusted to reliable people until


    the investigation on Vivi''s car ident was resolved. She wouldn''t give certain individuals the


    chance to sow more discord.
