The Double Life of My Billionaire Husband

“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?” Natalie spoke calmly. There wasn’t a trace of panic in her voice.

Elaine eavesdropped from the sidelines. She thought that Natalie was just too proud to accept Christopher’s money. But it was futile. Did she think that the police could prove her innocence?

Anyway, the wallet was found in Natalie’s pocket, and what had really happened wasn’t caught on the store’s security camera. That meant that Natalie, by default, was the thief.

Unable to contain her excitement, Elaine 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, Elaine immediately ran up to them, dragging Natalie 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,” Natalie said with a confident smile.

Elaine narrowed her eyes at her, sniggering as though she had heard a dirty joke. “What tricks are you playing? 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 mall’s corridor.” Suddenly, Natalie 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 glass, so the security cameras in the corridor could easily capture what went on inside the store through the glass walls.

“Please check the mall’s security cameras. The footage from that angle should be able to prove that I didn’t steal anything,” Natalie 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 plans to run away when you’re not looking!” Hearing Natalie’s calm explanation, Elaine 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 Natalie’s pocket, taking advantage of the blind spot of the store’s security camera. But she didn’t take into consideration the mall’s security cameras. If what she had done was really captured on video, she would be doomed.
