Chapter 398

Chapter 398Chapter 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 place, 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 accuse me of stealing his watch? Where is he? Get him to come 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 become aloof and cold.
novelbin“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 place, right?” Josiah lowered his gaze and
looked at her hands holding onto him. “Miss Xander, please behave yourself.”
