Chapter 398


    Chapter 398 Maeve’s words got stuck in her throat. She was frightened by two strange men standing in


    front of her.


    “You (wo…” If they were just any ordinary men, she would not have been so stunned. They were


    policemen in uniform.


    Their stern expressions were a little intimidating.


    However, she did not do anything wrong, so she came to her senses and said curtly, “You two must


    have gotten to the wrong ce, right?”


    The moment the police saw her, they subconsciously looked away.


    “Ma’am, please cover yourself,” One of the police said.


    Maeve looked down at her pajamas. It barely covered any of her body parts. She took a coat and put it


    on before crossing her arms across her chest, leaning against the door. “What do you two want?” “Are


    you Miss Maeve Xander?” The other policeman asked. “Yes. Can I help you?” Maeve’s tone turned


    soft. If they could call her by name, they were clearly here for her. What on earth did they want with


    her? Before she could guess it, they said, “Miss Xander, we have received a report that you have


    stolen Mister Josiah Shelby’s watch which is worth more than three million.”


    Maeve was speechless. She spat, “Are you nuts? I stole someone’s watch?”


    The police nodded. “Yes. Mister Josiah reported it to us.” Maeve was stunned. She has missed out on


    a piece of important information. It was Josiah’s watch.


    What was the meaning of that? “Josiah reported it to you?” She was a little baffled. She asked, “What


    right does he have to use me of stealing his watch? Where is he? Get him toe here to confront


    me.”


    “I’m here.” Josiah, who was standing by the side, appeared.


    He was still equally handsome and regal, but his gaze and expressions have changed. He was no


    longer that gentle and attractive person. He has be aloof and cold.


    “Mister…Josiah.” Maeve looked at him, stunned. “What do they mean by it? Why did they say ! stole


    your watch? …”


    “Miss Xander, I never thought that you would do this too,” Josiah said disappointedly, “when I got out of


    the car, I realized the watch that my wife gave me back then has gone missing. When you were in the


    car, the watch was still there. When I got out of the car to buy some water, you stole the watch.


    “If the watch you stole was just some normal watch, I won’t take it to heart, but the watch was one that


    my wise gave ine, so I can’t just sit and do nothing. I have to find it back”


    “Josiah, you-” Maeve was stunned once again. She slowly realized that she had fallen into his trap.


    When he got her to get into his car to talk. He told her so many misleading words. He even got out to


    buy her water… Turns out it was a honey trap and she foolishly fell for it. However, why did he do it?


    Was it because she went to look for Meredith that day?

    The more she thought, the more afraid and nervous she got. Under desperation, she went forward and


    grabbed Josiah’s arm, pleading with him, “Mister Josiah, I didn’t steal your watch. I beg you to believe


    me.”


    “Whether you stole it or not, we’ll know once we search the ce, right?” Josiah lowered his gaze and


    looked at her hands holding onto him. “Miss Xander, please behave yourself.”
