Substitute Marriage With the Illegitimate Son novel Chapter 316

Janet clenched her fists and said through gritted teeth, "It hasn't been proven yet. I have a clear conscience. I'll never admit to it, nor will I apologize."

Ritchie narrowed his eyes at her and fiddled with the ring on his thumb. "We're giving you one last chance. If you don't admit to it and apologize, we'll sue you. Things will only get worse for you." Janet pursed her lips and didn't say anything. She couldn't confront Ritchie head on.

Seeing that Janet had fallen silent, Ritchie didn't say anything more. He stood up and walked past her, muttering, "Just you wait and see, little bitch."

Before Janet could respond, he left.

Tiffany patted Janet on the shoulder reassuringly. "Don't mind him. Let's go back. If Lester Silk Fabric had to threaten us, it means they're not a hundred percent sure they'll win in court. The ball's in our court. We just need to see how the company will deal with it first."

Janet nodded wordlessly. She knew that Ritchie was just trying to scare her.

Because the boss of Lester Silk Fabric himself had come to the Larson Group to question Janet, rumors about the plagiarism spread all over the building like wildfire.

Janet didn't want to listen to them, but no matter where she went, she couldn't escape those discussions.

On her way back to her desk at the design department, she heard colleagues whispering, "Why hasn't she been fired yet?"

"Lester Silk Fabric and the Larson Group have always been enemies. But I never thought this would happen. Because Janet plagiarized some other person's designs, she has ruined the company's reputation. She should've left!"

Many employees in Larson Group felt humiliated and complained about Janet.

Biting her lower lip, Janet glanced at the gossipers and returned to the design department with her head down.

However, as soon as she reached her desk, a staff from human resources department approached her.
