Substitute Marriage With the Illegitimate Son novel Chapter 405

Dispirited, Janet went back to the company.

At this time, Gerda was busy sketching some designs. "Tiffany wanted to see you. She said you should drop by her office once you're back," she said.

Janet glanced at Tiffany's office for a few seconds, stood up, and walked over reluctantly.

"Back so soon? Seems like you didn't find any evidence." Tiffany was reading a document while speaking. She didn't even raise her head, but she knew that Janet was the one who came into her office.

Janet replied, "I'll need a few more days, but I'll get you the evidence you need."

Tiffany let out a sigh. "I'm inclined to trust you, but you each put your own spin on what really happened last night. Since there isn't any concrete evidence, as your superior, I have to stay objective about this. I can't make my judgment based on personal biases. Just try your best to find an evidence to support your claims."

Janet fell silent for a moment. 'It seems that Tiffany is saying that no action will be taken against this matter unless I find evidence.'

"Okay. I understand." Tears welled up in Janet's eyes when she left Tiffany's office.

*******

After that interaction, Janet worked in the company like normal.

Sadly, the matter hadn't blown over yet. Because they lost the quarterly bonus, all of her coworkers in the design department held a grudge against her and they vented their anger towards her.

Though there wasn't any evidence to prove which one of them was lying, most of their coworkers were on Patty's side.

The main reason was because Patty was the girlfriend of the Larson Group's operations manager. And now, she and Janet were at odds. None of the employees dared to offend someone more influential and powerful than they were.

Patty didn't have a falling out with Janet because of this. She even acted like she was the bigger person by saying, "We're all colleagues here. I think it's better if we all be nice. I understand that there are many rumors circulating about Lind. Though I'm not surprised that she'd do something like that, let's all just let it go and move on."

Gerda sat at her own station, craning her neck to get a better look at Patty. Patty spoke so loud that everyone in the office must've heard her.

Pouting, Gerda lowered her head and said to Janet, "What a hypocrite she is! I once heard her speaking ill of you behind your back. She told our coworkers that you have a screw loose and that you're too proud for your own good."
