Chapter 77 To Prove Her Innocence
Realizing that this matter was about to get out of hand, Christopher decided to put an end to this.
He pulled J aside and said in a low voice, "How about this? I''ll pay for it. The Larson Group
values its reputation. If they find out about this, you''ll probably be fired. Besides, the wallet was
found in your pocket. If they really call the police, you might really end up in jail."
"Chris, I didn''t take the wallet. If I agree to pay ten times its price, it''ll just prove that I''m guilty, right?"
J spoke calmly. There wasn''t a trace of panic in her voice.

ine eavesdropped from the sidelines. She thought that J was just too proud to ept
Christopher''s money. But it was futile. Did she think that the police could prove her innocence?
Anyway, the wallet was found in J''s pocket, and what had really happened wasn''t caught on the
store''s security camera. That meant that J, by default, was the thief.
Unable to contain her excitement, ine urged the shop manager to call the police already. "The
thief can''t pay you. You''re wasting your time if you don''t call the police right now."
The shop manager agreed and called the police. It didn''t take long before two men in uniform
strolled into the shop.
When the police arrived, ine immediately ran up to them, dragging J behind her. "Sir, it''s her
who stole from this store, but she still doesn''t want to admit it."
"Please hold on. I want you to check the security camera footage. I have evidence to prove that I
didn''t steal the wallet, but was framed," J said with a confident smile.
ine narrowed her eyes at her, sniggering as though she had heard a dirty joke. "What tricks are
you ying? Didn''t we just check the store''s security footage?"
"I''m not talking about this shop''s security camera. I''m talking about the security cameras in the
shopping mail''s corridor." Suddenly, J turned around and pointed to the security cameras in the
corridor right outside the shop.
In order to attract more customers, the shop''s storefront was made of ss, so the security
cameras in the corridor could easily capture what went on inside the store through the ss walls.
"Please check the mail''s security cameras. The footage from that angle should be able to prove that
I didn''t steal anything," J said calmly, a small smile tugging at the corners of her lips.
"Don''t listen to her! She''s probably just stalling for time and ns to run away when you''re not
looking!" Hearing J''s calm exnation, ine was the one who was filled with panic. All the
color drained from her face as she urgently tried to convince the policemen.
After all, she was the one who slipped the wallet into J''s pocket, taking advantage of the blind
spot of the store''s security camera. But she didn''t take into consideration the mail''s security
cameras. If what she had done was really captured on video, she would be doomed.
"ine, I''m just asking the police to check the mall security cameras. Why are you so scared?"
J looked at her with fake empathy, although her eyes shed dangerously.
Flustered, ine forced herself to keep calm. "If the thief isn''t scared, why should I be?"
As requested, the police immediately checked the mall''s security footage.
Everyone held their breath and peered at theputer screen, wondering what tricks J would
y. After all, the wallet had been found in her pocket.
While the footage was a little pixted, it was still very clear that ine had stood next to J
and, under the cover of her body, secretly took the wallet from the shelf and slipped it into J''s
coat pocket.
