Sweet Subterfuge

Chapter 74

Janine lowered her head to sob again, and Dick continued playing his role of comforting his “grieving” wife. The scene panned over to the host.

They showed a video clip that displayed a familiar background that Larissa knew. It was her office at the hotel, and she was shown in the clip too- however, it was just her body from the neck down. From the angle, it was clear that this was covertly taken, and there was a caption acknowledging that the video clip was taken through unusual means on the bottom left corner of the clip.

The video showed pretty much everything that had happened in her office that, day, except for the interrogatory question from that long-haired female editor as well as Larissa’s response of how she always had a clear conscience in anything she did. This kind of editing only put emphasis on how “cold” she was, and regular viewers would only think that she was refusing to appear on the show out of guilt as she did not dare face her mother-in-law.

They had altered Larissa’s voice in the video, likely to prevent her identity from being leaked. But it was useless as those who knew her would recognize her at once-like her colleagues.
