He spoke as if he was familiar with the man on the other end of the line, trying to get him to take the bait. "We're so sorry, Mr. Shaw! We enjoyed ourselves too much last night, so we forgot to send the video to you." Fortunately, his plan worked perfectly. Simon didn't suspect a thing. "Hurry and sendthe video! I'm going to ruin that bitch, Marissa's life! Did you do as I ordered and get six men to assault her?" "Of course," the officer replied smoothly. "I'll send the video to you now." "Hurry up!"

"Simon Shaw!" Marissa exclaimed with wide eyes. "He used to be a deputy manager for one of my company's projects. I fired him a few days ago." "The pieces have all fallen into place, then. The thugs were hired by Simon to assault you. That best friend of yours is probably involved in his schtoo," Tessa said.
"How can this be..." Marissa mumbled to herself, crestfallen. "Why would Janey betray me? I treat her so well, so why would she do this to me?" Simon sat on his couch and waited impatiently for his hired men to send the video of Marissa's assault to him. He certainly did not expect the police to show up at his door to arrest him instead. Since they had successfully captured the main instigator, solving the rest of the case becsimple.
Simon Shaw and Paul Yarrow were the masterminds pulling the strings behind the scenes. They loathed Marissa for firing them and decided to take revenge on her.

She looked heartbroken. "We've been friends for so many years, Janey. Why didn't you tellthat you needed money? Did you think I wouldn't help you in your tof need?"
