Maisie stood up. “Thank you for the hard work.”
The police officer responded, “You’re welcome. It‘s thanks to you, ma‘am. You‘re the one who‘s able to
convince the criminal into a confession.”
Maisie smiled.
‘Rather than saying that I‘ve convinced him into a confession, I believe it sounded more like a threat. It
seems that this man is extremely loyal to Maxine. He‘d rather take on all the charges than implicate
Maxine!
Maisie left the police station and sent a message to notify Yorick. After all, she had promised her uncle
she would inform him of the result.
As soon as she got into the car, her cell phone rang, and her eyes dimmed when she glanced at the
caller ID.
She picked up the phone and answered it but did not speak.
The other party giggled. “Maisié Vanderbilt, you should be very thankful that your daughter‘s fine.”
Maisie remained calm and composed.” Maxine Reynolds, what do you want?”
“Don‘t even think you can force me to give up just because I can‘t leave town. Maisie Vanderbilt, you do
care about your daughter‘ s life. Other parents would care about their children‘s lives too, wouldn‘t
they?”
Maxine‘s words startled her for a short moment, and she frowned. “What are you planning to do this time
around?”
Maxine laughed. “Your daughter‘s friend is with me. What‘s her name? I can‘t seem to remember it well.
Oh, it‘s Lisa, isn‘t it?”
Maisie remembered her.
‘She‘s Daisie‘s friend!
Maisie bit her lower lip. “You‘ve kidnapped an innocent child just to threaten me?”
“Yeah, You said you wouldn‘t implicate innocent people, but your daughter has already gotten one
person implicated. If your daughter hadn‘t lent her clothes to her friend, causing my men to mistake her,
she wouldn‘t have fallen into our hands, would she
“If she dies, it‘s you who‘s caused it. Maisie Vanderbilt, the fact that an innocent child died because of
your daughter will surely haunt your conscience for the rest of your life, hahaha.”
Maisie‘s expression changed suddenly, and she was about to say something when Maxine cut off the call
abruptly.
Saydie looked at her worriedly. “Ma‘am.”
Maisie took a deep breath. “Maxine kidnapped an innocent girl, and we must rescue the child. Contact
Nolan for me, and I‘ll track Maxine down.”
Saydie was worried. “Are you planning to go there alone?”
“I‘ll go first. You can follow me right after this. Don‘t worry, I‘ll be careful.” After
laying out her plan, Maisie pushed open the door and got out of the car.
Maisie stopped a taxi and left in it. She then picked up her cell phone and called Maxine, “Let‘s meet. I‘ll
be alone.” Maisie took a taxi to the suburbs and asked the driver to let her off on the side of the road.
When the driver left, she glanced at the van parked across the road.
Two men brought her to the abandoned factory, her hands were tied, and her cell phone had been
confiscated.
Maxine came out of the factory. “You actually have the guts to come and meet me by yourself. You
must‘ve informed Nolan long ago, haven‘t you?”
Maisie smiled. “You‘re holding on to an innocent girl‘s life. Wouldn’t you kill her if I were to inform Nolan
beforehand?”
Maxine walked to the side, took a packet of cigarettes out of her handbag, and lit herself a cigarette.
“That may be the truth, but it won‘t matter much if Nolan is here.” She held the cigarette with her
fingertips and puffed a mouthful of smoke. “What can he do to me when you and that girl are in my
hands?”
Maisie asked calmly, “Where’s the girl?”
“Why do you care so much when she‘s not even your daughter?” Maxine walked up to her. “Is it possible
that a girl who‘s not related to you by blood is more important than your own life?”
Maisie stared at her. “This is a matter between us. It has nothing to do with the girl. You have me now, so
let her go.*
Maxine laughed out loud all of a sudden and took a glance at one of the men. The man nodded, walked
into the factory, and brought Lisa out.
