Chapter 75


    “Miss, please wait!” The store manager ran over and blocked J’s way.


    Everyone in the store also turned to look at her curiously.


    “Is she a thief?”


    “She doesn’t look like one…”


    J frowned slightly and was even more confused.


    She hadn’t taken anything and had walked past the door twice. “Why is the rm going off? Is it


    broken?”


    “Miss, have you taken anything that you haven’t paid for?” The manager smiled politely.


    J tilted her head to the side and replied calmly, “No.”


    But the rm kept ringing incessantly.


    With an embarrassed look, the manager leaned closer and whispered, “Miss, please tell us the truth, or


    we will have no choice but to frisk you.”


    Just then, ine sauntered over.


    “Hey, what’s that in your pocket?” Pretending to be shocked, ine pointed at the pocket of J’s


    coat.


    J frowned and fished her hand into her pocket. Sure enough, there was something inside. To her


    surprise, she pulled out a wallet. “Miss, pleese weit!” The store meneger ren over end blocked J’s


    wey.

    “Hey, whet’s thet in your pocket?” Pretending to be shocked, Eleine pointed et the pocket of J’s


    coet.


    J frowned end fished her hend into her pocket. Sure enough, there wes something inside. To her


    surprise, she pulled out e wellet.


    With a puzzled look, ine pointed at an empty spot on the shelf and said to the manager, “Look over


    there. Are you missing a wallet?”


    The manager looked at the wallet in J’s hand. His eyes instantly darkened and he said with


    disdain, “Yes, this is the most expensive wallet in our store.”


    Hearing this, ine feigned shock and her hand flew to cover her mouth. “I always thought those


    things they said about you were just rumors back then. It turns out that our ssmates were right all


    along. Why do you still misbehave? You’ve even resorted to stealing!”


    J looked back at her, bewildered. She had no idea how the wallet had ended up in her pocket.


    She pped the wallet onto the counter and said firmly, “I didn’t take this. I’ve never stolen anything in


    my life. You stop trying to ruin my reputation. If you don’t believe me, check the store’s security camera


    footage.”


    “Yes, check the footage. My friend’s always been a decent, upright person. She would never do such a


    thing.” Christopher stood by J firmly.


    Irritated, ine crossed her arms over her chest. “Christopher, haven’t you heard what people have


    said about her back in college? She’s not as decent as you think.”


    “ine, unlike you, I don’t fall for whatever other people say so easily.” Christopher’s usually gentle


    eyes turned fierce in that moment.


    “Then check the security camera footage!” ine snorted and said nothing more.


    The best way to have this matter cleared was to check the security cameras.


    And so the manager scurried off to check the footage, as asked. In the video, J and Christopher


    were standing next to the shelf with the wallet. Unfortunately, ine’s body blocked J’s, including


    her arms. So it was impossible to see whether J had taken the wallet or not.


    ine smiled smugly. She sneered, “Just admit it already. Did you steal the wallet?”
