Chapter 621
Natalie paused the video, curious. “Have you seen anything?”
Elizabeth had a sudden realization. She pointed at the man on the screen, who was wearing a backpack with a gold-plated pendant in the shape of a poker card. “I know this pendant. It’s a gift from a casino, and it’s only given to their regular customers!”
Tasha looked at Elizabeth in surprise. “Elizabeth, do you gamble? You should really try to kick that habit as soon as possible.”
“I don’t gamble,” Elizabeth replied, rolling her eyes.
“Don’t jump to conclusions. Jorge used to have a pendant like this. I remember it specifically because it was said to be made of pure gold and Jorge was a regular at the casino, so he had one which he always carried. He always wore it with him.”
Natalie’s face lit up with a broad smile. “Your words just gave me a lead. There indeed is a casino near the location of the party I attended the other night. They require registration information for entry and exit, so that should help narrow down our search.”
“You’ve been a huge help. I’ll leave a copy of this video on your computer. If you think of any other clues, don’t hesitate to contact me.”
After gathering her things, Natalie rushed off to the hospital to inform Brandon of the new development.
She had a hunch that this would be the key evidence to find out who was behind all this.
In Barnes, night fell quickly in the winter. The sky was dark even before five o’clock in the afternoon.
Vivian showed up on time to the agreed-upon location, the unfinished structure in the suburbs. The locals were familiar with this rundown structure. When one-third of the structure was constructed, many small collapse incidents occurred due to the builders’ shortcuts, therefore this construction was abandoned. The building’s foundation was also weak, so it could have collapsed at any time. The destitute beggars also dared not enter.
Vivian tucked her hat’s brim in, wrapped herself firmly in her mink coat, and gingerly made her way up the steps which had no railings.
“There will be rain.” A sound was heard coming from somewhere inside the structure. When Vivienne turned around, she saw Roger standing behind her with a cigarette in his mouth. His backpack had seen better days, but a golden pendant dangling from the zipper gave it some sparkle.
Vivian kept going till she was almost to the roof.
“Here you go. If you want to, count it by hand.” Vivienne tossed the paper bag to the floor.
Roger smiled at Vivian and didn’t pick up the paper bag. He threw up the stub of his cigarette and balanced precariously on his toes to extinguish it. “Exactly who are you, and what do you want? You have such gall opposing the Larson Group!”
Every person in Barnes knew about the Larson Group. Roger never thought that he’d end up offending the Larson Group just by trying to make some extra money. He had no idea that he had stirred up some trouble until he heard his friends discussing that the Larson Group had put a high bounty to seize him.
“You shouldn’t have asked that. Just take the money and get the hell out of here.” Having experienced all sorts of difficult situations, Vivian was now able to deal with desperados with ease.
