Wow, after all the hassle, I hope you buy yourself something nice with the money.
Seriously though...sounds like a bit of a pickle. I guess the thing to do is go talk to the secretary and the director, at the same time, and try to figure out who's lying. Definitely you'll want to do a full cavity search on both of them. I bet it was the director! Snaky pukes, all.
Seriously seriously, though; maybe look aound on the secretary's desk--could it be the envelope got misplaced in the shuffle?

I've had kids offer me tuition fee envelopes. I politely decline to accept them. Since you are having trouble with your director already, however, this does sound like a ruse. Could be bad, but really, the guy is short on evidence. Doesn't mean he won't instigate an inquisition though.

At my first hagwon, the odd kiddy or two used to give me their money envelopes. I was reluctant to take them, but when I did I would give them directly to a Korean teacher who would know who to give the envelpe too. My school was quite small so we didn't have a secretary to confuse things.

Just explain what you did and if he doesn't believe you and bearing in mind all the other crap you are having to put up with I would think about finding a new place to work.
