Chapter 78


    What a twist!


    ine stared at theputer screen, dumbfounded.


    “ine, you haven’t changed one bit. All you know is to bring trouble for the others.” J sneered.


    “I didn’t… No… It’s…” ine panicked. She finally understood why J was stubborn about not


    agreeing to thepensation but insisted on calling the police.


    If no one had called the police, ine 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 couldn’t solve the problem in private


    anymore.

    such a cheap thing. “ine, was it you who did that?”

    for she couldn’te up with an excuse. “I… I didn’t do it on purpose,” she tried exining.

    The police quickly stopped ine. “You are suspected of theft and false usation. Come with us,


    please.”


    ine stepped back and tried defending herself. “No, I won’te with you. I canpensate by


    paying ten times the price of the wallet. Please don’t take me away.”


    “You are the suspect of this crime. There is no point inpensating now. This is a police case now,


    and the people who have filed aint do not intend to let you go,” a policeman said mercilessly.


    Hearing this, ine grabbed J’s hand and pleaded, “J, 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 reputationst time in the Larson Group, and tried framing me for theft now. What


    makes you think I’ll let go of you?” J asked calmly.


    If she didn’t teach ine a lesson, the woman would continue to bother her.


    “Sir, you can handle the case ording to thew.”


    ine sneered, fury zing in her eyes. “Why are you so cruel? It’s all because of you! I won’t let you


    go!”


    Her words dripped with malice. J 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. ine, it’s time for you to introspect and realize what all you have done.


    Don’t even think of bothering me again. Otherwise, you’ll have to face the consequences. It will be


    worse than this.”


    J scoffed at ine and stormed out of the shop with her bag.


    Christopher followed her out, guiltily lowering his eyes.


    “I’m sorry. It’s all my fault. I remember ine confessing her love for me before. Has she been troubling


    you because of that?”


    The setting sun cast a soft glow on J. She shook her head and sighed. “Don’t beat yourself about


    it, Chris. ine is a crazy woman. Besides, you already rejected her proposal in college. It’s not your


    fault.”


    “Well, do you want me to continue helping you with the gift?” Christopher asked hesitantly.


    J checked the time on her phone: it was almost seven in the evening. “Forget it.” She waved her


    hands dismissively. “You better go home. I’ll look around.”


    Before Christopher could respond, J hurriedly sprinted off.
