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 place, right?”
The moment the police saw her, they subconsciously looked away.
“Ma’am, please cover yourself,” One of the police said.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtMaeve 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.
“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

“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.”
