NovelEnglishThe Substitute Wife: My Poor Husband Is A Billionaire
Chapter 77: To Prove Her InnocenceRealizing that this matter was about to get out of hand, Christopher decided to put an end to this.
He pulled Jaside and said in a low voice, "How about this? I’ll pay for it.The Larson Group values its reputation.If they find
out about this, you’ll probably be fired.Besides, the wallet was found in your pocket.If they really call the police, you might really
end up in jail."
"Chris, I didn’t take the wallet.If I agree to pay ten times its price, it’ll just prove that I’m guilty, right?" Jspoke calmly.
There wasn’t a trace of panic in her voice.
Elaine eavesdropped from the sidelines.She thought that Jwas just too proud to accept Christopher’s money.
But it was futile.
Did she think that the police could prove her innocence? Anyway, the wallet was found in Janet’s pocket, and what had really
happened wasn’t caught on the store’s security camera.
That meant that Janet, by default, was the thief.
"The thief can’t pay you.You’re wasting your tif you don’t call the police right now."
The shop manager agreed and called the police.
It didn’t take long before two men in uniform strolled into the shop.
When the police arrived, Elaine immediately ran up to them, dragging Jbehind her.
"Sir, it’s her who stole from this store, but she still doesn’t want to admit it."
"Please hold on.I want you to check the security camera footage.I have evidence to prove that I didn’t steal the wallet, but was
framed," Jsaid with a confident smile.
Elaine narrowed her eyes at her, sniggering as though she had heard a dirty joke.
"What tricks are you playing? Didn’t we just check the store’s security footage?"
"I’m not talking about this shop’s security camera.I’m talking about the security cameras in the shopping mall’s corridor."
Suddenly, Jturned around and pointed to the security cameras in the corridor right outside the shop.
In order to attract more customers, the shop’s storefront was made of glass, so the security cameras in the corridor could easily
capture what went on inside the store through the glass walls.
said calmly, a small smile tugging at the corners of her lips.
"Don’t listen to her! She’s probably just stalling for tand plans to run away when you’re not looking!"
Hearing Janet’s calm explanation, Elaine was the one who was filled with panic.
All the color drained from her face as she urgently tried to convince the policemen.
After all, she was the one who slipped the wallet into Janet’s pocket, taking advantage of the blind spot of the store’s security
camera.
But she didn’t take into consideration the mall’s security cameras.
If what she had done was really captured on video, she would be doomed.
"Elaine, I’m just asking the police to check the mall security cameras.Why are you so scared?"
Jlooked at her with fake empathy, although her eyes flashed dangerously.
Flustered, Elaine forced herself to keep calm.
"If the thief isn’t scared, why should I be?"
As requested, the police immediately checked the mall’s security footage.
Everyone held their breath and peered at the computer screen, wondering what tricks Jwould play.
After all, the wallet had been found in her pocket.
While the footage was a little pixelated, it was still very clear that Elaine had stood next to Jand, under the cover of her
body, secretly took the wallet from the shelf and slipped it into Janet’s coat pocket.
