Substitute Marriage With the Illegitimate Son novel Chapter 76

Janet frowned deeply. "The footage can't prove that I stole the wallet. Why are you so hell-bent on slandering me? Perhaps it was you who took the wallet and slipped it into my pocket to frame me."

Elaine's nostrils flared and her eyes went wide. To cover up her ploy, she raised her voice and pointed a finger at Janet. "Don't you dare accuse me! The wallet was found in your pocket, so obviously, you were the one who stole it!"

"Elaine, how many times do we have to say that the footage doesn't show that it was Janet who stole it? Stop framing her." Christopher looked at her coldly and added, "I know she didn't steal the wallet."

Elaine had wanted to paint Janet as a thief so that Christopher would dislike her. But now that Christopher was even protecting Janet, Elaine was utterly enraged.

"Christopher, just how well do you know Janet? Maybe she's not the good girl you make her out to be. There were a lot of rumors about her back in college. Her classmates wouldn't make up stories for no reason. Plus, now she's trying to put the blame on me. You heard it yourself!" Elaine's voice was shrill, which made her sound as though she really believed what she was saying.

Clenching her fists, Janet said through gritted teeth, "You were the one who started all those rumors. Years have passed and we're supposed to be more mature now. Haven't you grown up yet?"

At the time, Janet had ignored what Elaine did because they were about to graduate. There was no use getting worked up over such a trivial thing.

"How dare you accuse me of starting those rumors? Do you have any proof?"

Elaine couldn't help but snicker at Janet's stupidity. They had graduated years ago. Even if Elaine indeed was the one who spread the rumors, Janet had no evidence.

Moreover, the video didn't show that Elaine deliberately framed Janet.

All the bystanders in the store watched this scene unfold with great interest. Since the wallet was found in Janet's pocket, surely she was the prime suspect.
