After saying something to the police, Nolan walked toward Maisie, pulled her into his arms, and tightened
his hug.
Maisie sniffed the soothing fragrance on his body and chuckled softly. “I knew you would get here in
time.”
He kissed the top of her head vigorously and sneered from the bottom of his throat. However, his tone
sounded reproachful.” You always take the liberty to act by yourself. You would‘ve been blown to pieces
if I couldn‘t get here in time.”
Maisie looked up at him: “It‘s because I believe in you and Colton”
While she was on her way to meet Maxine, Maisie received a call from Nolan, and Colton was next to
him.
They had managed to locate Maxine, so they had pinpointed the area where Maxine was at. As long as
the area had network coverage, they could find out her exact location and the route she could use to
escape.
Since the place Maxine had not chosen a suitable escape route, she must have never planned to escape
from the beginning and might have chosen to end things in a more extreme way.
And that was to bring someone down together with her.
Therefore, they had sent someone to the hotel where Maxine stayed and found a batch of remote device
purchases that Maxine had made abroad, and included in the order were remote–controlled explosives.
Because the bomb that she had set up could not be detonated physically, the bomb could be detonated
remotely through the network. Thus, as long as the network in this area was blocked, the remote control
would lose its ability to detonate the explosives.
Maisie had faith in Nolan and Colton, which was why she would bet that the bomb would not detonate
when Maxine pressed the button on that remote control
Nolan held her cheeks in his palms, not knowing whether he should be exasperated or amused by her. “I
really can‘t do anything about you.”
Back at the Goldmann mansion...
Colton and Daisie were already waiting for Maisie to come home. When she returned home, the two of
them hurried over. “Mom! Daisie threw herself into her arms. “I’m sorry, Mom! It‘s all my fault. I got Lisa
embroiled in this incident. I shouldn‘t have let her wear my clothes.”
When she learned she was the one that would have been kidnapped, she felt very guilty. After all, Lisa
had been kidnapped only because Daisie had lent her her clothes.
Maisie raised her hand, stroked her head, and said with a smile, ‘It has nothing to do with you. You only
wanted to help your friend , and no one could predict such a thing would happen.” ;
Daisie cried out loud.
Nolan walked up to her and rubbed the top of her head. “Alright, you‘re a grown girl now, and you‘re still
crying in your mother‘s arms. We‘ve rescued Lisa.” Daisie wiped her tears. “Then can I go and visit her in
a few days?”
Maisie paused for a bit and then redded.” Yeah, your mother will accompany you to pay her a visit a few
days later.”
After the children went upstairs, Maisie turned to look at Nolan. “How did you know that Maxine‘s mother
was poisoned to death by her?”
I really wouldn‘t have known that if it weren‘t for the information that Nolan shared on the phone. And
Maxine actually admitted to doing so
Nolan took her into his arms. “That geezer found out about those old incidents.”
The geezer that he referred to was his grandfather.
Maisie was stunned.
Nolan caressed her cheek with his palm. “I told you about the cause of Uncle Summers‘s death the other
day, right? It‘s said that he was killed by a knife when he ran into a robber abroad. But when the police
looked into the old cases, the belongings in Uncle Summers‘s bag were not stolen.”
“So, the killer did not kill for his money.” Maisie looked at him.
Nolan responded with a faint hum and continued. ‘The other party didn‘t want his money, so it was
obviously a premeditated murder. Besides, Uncle Summers had not offended anyone when he was
abroad.”
Maisie lost her composure. “Could it be... Is it Maxine?”
