Maeve's gaze froze momentarily as she was about to look away. Suddenly, her phone rang from her coat pocket. She pulled it out, and a message immediately appeared on the screen. Byron: [Come over.]
With just a glance, Macve turned off the screen, slipped her phone back into her coat pocket, and followed Alex into the car As the white Mulsanne drove away, Alex noticed that Maeve was still wearing the veil that covered the scars on her face, and he said. "You can take off the veil. You don't have to worry about what others think-I'm no different."
Maeve shook her head. Td rather keep it on. I feel more comfortable this way. For some reason, the wounds on her face would flare up just when they were about to heal, sometimes even becoming infected. She could barely stand looking at herself in the mirror, so she thought it best not to subject others to it.
A hint of sadness flickered in Alex's eyes, but seeing her insist, he didn't push further. Instead, he handed her a box from the side. This is the phone you dropped in the basement that day. It's been with the police for safekeeping
Maeve took the phone from the box, looked at it, and shook her head. "This isn't mine. I took it from Karen that day when she wasn't paying attention."

"I picked up a few unlocking tricks while working part-time in college. Let me give it a try." After just a few minutes of fiddling, Maeve looked at the screen as it unlocked to the main interface and smiled. "Got it." Alex's gentle gaze fell on her. "Let's see if we can find any clues in there."
"Okay," Maeve replied as she first opened the contacts and messages, only to find them empty-nothing at all. The social media apps were equally bare, with no single message in sight and only a handful of friends listed. It was as if the phone were brand new. "She's very cautious; she didn't leave any information on the phone," Maeve said, not surprised but feeling a bit disappointed. "And now she gets away just like that."
It made sense. If Karen also orchestrated the first kidnapping, there was no way she would leave even the slightest trace for anyone to find.
