Substitute Marriage With the Illegitimate Son novel Chapter 769

Elizabeth knew that Janet was right. Now that things had come to this, she didn't have much of a choice.

Lip trembling, she wiped her tears with the back of her hand. She took a deep breath and went to Draco's office. Finally, she knocked on the door and opened it a crack.

The office was very quiet. The sound of a pencil being stroked on paper could be heard faintly.

The folder was still on the table and looked untouched. Draco looked up from his desk and saw that it was Elizabeth. His tone and expression were the same as usual. "What's up? Have you finished the drafts for this season's styles?"

Elizabeth subconsciously tinkered with the hem of her blouse. After some hesitation, she relayed to Draco what she had just told Janet.

"Jorge ran away as soon as I found out that he stole the drafts. I've been looking for him everywhere since the day before yesterday, but I haven't found any leads..."

She hated Jorge to her very core now. That day, in an attempt to stop Jorge from leaving, the two got into a fight. In the end, Jorge kicked her on her stomach twice. He was such an inhuman bastard!

Recalling this, Elizabeth was so filled with regret that she burst into tears.

Draco didn't say a word. He continued to sketch on the paper as though he had heard nothing.

Elizabeth stood glued to her spot for what felt like an eternity.

She clenched her fists and lowered her head guiltily. Her eyes were red from crying. "I'll take full responsibility for this matter. Mr. Wesley, don't worry. I'll resign and apologize to Mrs. Fuller. I'll also pay for the damages. After that, I'll call the police and let them catch Jorge. I refuse to implicate W Marks Studio."

This was the only solution Elizabeth could think of. She had to shoulder the responsibility alone.

Finally, Draco put down his pencil and blew away the charcoal debris on the paper.

He had been silent this whole time, staring at his sketch intently, which made it difficult for Elizabeth to tell what he was thinking.

After a long time, he finally opened his mouth.

"Okay. Hand over your work to the others tomorrow. You can come back to work once Jorge is caught."
