Substitute Marriage With the Illegitimate Son novel Chapter 404

Patty's words were well within reason.

It was still lunch break, and when Tiffany called Patty to her office, a bunch of senior designers came with her.

They wasted no time putting in good words for Patty. "We've been working together for a long time, and we've got to know each other very well. Patty might be a little sharp-tongued, but she is not a liar."

"That's right. Patty is always friendly and willing to help the new hires, too. She was very happy when she learned that she would be Janet's partner on this project. Who would have thought that things would turn out like this? It seems to me that anyone who works with Janet ends up getting screwed one way or another."

"It's not the first time that something like this happened, either, and Janet is involved each time. It's all your fault, Lind. Why are you blaming other people?"

Janet was trembling with rage. "It has nothing to do with me," she said through gritted teeth. "The issue is between Patty and Ronald."

Then she turned to Patty and said, "I have never done anything to you, so why did you set me up?"

"It's you who set me up," Patty countered innocently.

Seeing that it was useless to argue her side, Janet said nothing more and strode out of Tiffany's office.

She knew that an explanation alone wouldn't be enough to convince her colleagues. She needed concrete evidence to back her up. Unfortunately, Ronald's companions had gone out to smoke when the incident happened. There were no other witnesses aside from her and Patty.

Janet took a cab and went to the hotel where they had dinner last night.

"Apologies, Miss, but we have these private rooms for a reason. The term speaks for itself, so naturally, we do not have surveillance cameras in these rooms." The receptionist was blunt and dismissive toward Janet. Her attitude mainly had to do with the fact that Janet was an average career woman such as herself, and not among the elite that she was used to cozying up to.
