Chapter 78: Arrested
The Substitute Wife: My Poor Husband Is A Billionaire
What a twist! Elaine stared at the computer screen, dumbfounded.
"Elaine, you havenât changed one bit.All you know is to bring trouble for the others."
Janet sneered.
"I didnât⦠No⦠Itâsâ¦"
Elaine panicked.
She finally understood why Janet was stubborn about not agreeing to the compensation but insisted on
calling the police.
If no one had called the police, Elaine could have gotten away with the problem by paying the price to
the shop manager even if they found out she had flicked the wallet.
However, the arrival of the police worsened the situation.
They just couldnât solve the problem in private anymore.
Christopher shook his head in disappointment.
He didnât expect Elaine to be shameless enough to do such a cheap thing.
"Elaine, was it you who did that?"
The unmistakable evidence proved Elaine was the culprit.
Elaine couldnât get away with the crime no matter how hard she tried.
She lowered her head in shame, for she couldnât come up with an excuse.
"I⦠I didnât do it on purpose," she tried explaining.
However, Janet knew she was lying.
Elaine was bluffing now to escape from the problem.
Janet looked away from Elaine.
After all, the woman was a hopeless liar.The police quickly stopped Elaine.
"You are suspected of theft and false accusation.Come with us, please."
Elaine stepped back and tried defending herself.
"No, I wonât come with you.I can compensate by paying ten times the price of the wallet.Please donât
take me away."
"You are the suspect of this crime.There is no point in compensating now.This is a police case now,
and the people who have filed a complaint do not intend to let you go," a policeman said mercilessly.
Hearing this, Elaine grabbed Janetâs hand and pleaded, "Janet, can you let go of me this time? Please
show mercy.I know I made a mistake.I will never hurt you again.I promise."
"You tried ruining my reputation last time in the Larson Group, and tried framing me for theft now.What
makes you think Iâll let go of you?" Janet asked calmly.
If she didnât teach Elaine a lesson, the woman would continue to bother her.
"Sir, you can handle the case according to the law."
Elaine sneered, fury blazing in her eyes.
"Why are you so cruel? Itâs all because of you! I wonât let you go!"
Her words dripped with malice.
Janet shrugged indifferently.
"I have never intended to harm you in any way.But you have been making things difficult for me time
and again right from college.Elaine, itâs time for you to introspect and realize what all you have
done.Donât even think of bothering me again.Otherwise, youâll have to face the consequences.It will be
worse than this."
Janet scoffed at Elaine and stormed out of the shop with her bag.
Christopher followed her out, guiltily lowering his eyes.
"Iâm sorry.Itâs all my fault.I remember Elaine confessing her love for me before.Has she been troubling
you because of that?"
The setting sun cast a soft glow on Janet.She shook her head and sighed.
"Donât beat yourself about it, Chris.Elaine is a crazy woman.Besides, you already rejected her proposal
in college.Itâs not your fault."
"Well, do you want me to continue helping you with the gift?" Christopher asked hesitantly.
Janet checked the time on her phone: it was almost seven in the evening.
"Forget it."
She waved her hands dismissively.
"You better go home.Iâll look around,"
Before Christopher could respond, Janet hurriedly sprinted off.
