Substitute Marriage With the Illegitimate Son novel Chapter 802

Janet didn't want to speak about Elizabeth's private affairs in front of other colleagues, especially when the nosy Dalores was around to hear.

She feared that rumors could arise from this discussion and it would adversely affect Elizabeth's reputation.

"It's not as serious a matter as you think. Elizabeth's apartment was burgled by a rogue. Her aunt sustained an injury due to having direct conflict with the burglar, but she is all fine now. Don't worry; there is no need for it," Janet said.

Tasha sighed after hearing her friend. "The security in that old neighborhood is just not up to scratch. Fortunately, the police arrived on the scene shortly and nothing serious happened."

After Janet had thoroughly explained the situation, everyone stopped speculating. All they felt now was pity for Elizabeth considering the ordeal she had been through.

"Are you all free after work? We are her colleagues after all. I think it's only appropriate that we all pay Elizabeth a visit in hospital."

"Sure. Let's go together later." Everyone agreed to this kind gesture.

In any event, Elizabeth had built good relationships with many of her colleagues at the

W Marks Studio.

Just when everyone had made up their mind, Dalores suddenly stood up and said, "Don't be ridiculous! I heard that Elizabeth's apartment wasn't burgled!"

Janet squinted at Dalores, wondering what she was trying to do now.

"You're just trying to cover things up for Elizabeth's sake," Dalores said in response. She cast a sarcastic glance at Janet and said in a raised voice for everyone to hear, "You wanna know what really happened? Elizabeth's boyfriend, Jorge, broke in and took revenge on her. The couple had entered an agreement to sell the designs of the studio, but they ended up in an argument about the profits of it. What's more, Jorge severely injured her hand, permanently disabling her. She won't be able to draw anything in the future."

The people in the studio shared astounded looks when they heard this shocking revelation.

"Oh, my God! Is that really what happened?"

"That's truly terrible. It's no wonder that she's suspended."

Hearing the crowd of employees whispering under their breath, Janet felt anger bubble up inside her, threatening to overflow. She gritted her teeth and growled, "Dalores! What nonsense are you talking about here?"

"You know clearly whether I am talking nonsense or not," Dalores said confidently.
