Game Over No Second Chances novel Chapter 273

Serena arrived at the private dining room in the restaurant as fast as she could.

Hugh hadn't ordered anything. Instead, he pushed a tablet across the table toward her—on the screen was surveillance footage from another angle.

In the video, a man wearing a baseball cap was seen crawling under Ruth's car.

Serena's pupils shrank instantly. "Cutting the brakes? That's attempted murder!"

Hugh, seeing her fury, also furrowed his brow.

"I've already handed the footage over to the police. They're tracking him down. I had Chandler investigate him beforehand—this guy used to operate in the gray areas overseas.

"When he came back, he couldn't get a normal job because of his dirty record, so he started working as a problem-solver for shady people.

"He's a repeat offender, most likely a hired hand. These mercenaries are easy to find, but getting them to give up their employer? That's another story."

A heavy silence followed.

Serena gripped the edges of the tablet tightly. "The scapegoat will take the fall, sure. But the mastermind? They won't get away either."

Hugh's eyes darkened. "What are you planning?"

Serena set the tablet down, her voice icy when she said, "Legal consequences are one thing. But the person behind this? I'll deal with them myself."

…

News of Ruth's car accident quickly made it to the headlines in the entertainment news. Internet users soon flooded the comments.

"This is Luna Orchestra's star performer! Who the hell would target her? Thank God it was just her leg and ribs—if she'd lost her hands, the culprit would have to pay for the rest of their life!"

"No way this was just random—this guy had nothing to do with Ruth! Who believes there's no mastermind? Someone list all her known enemies, and let's go through them one by one."

"Oh please, wasn't there one just the other day? That one woman who threw a fit because Ruth invited a friend to be a judge? The same woman who bought fake trending topics to slander her? Wasn't her last name Smith? Add her to the list."

"I work in the industry—Ruth actually fired a violinist for breaching a contract a while ago. The name's well known, but I won't say it. You guys can look it up yourselves."
