The Heir's Secret Bride

Chapter 315

Even in the most difficult times, Valda couldn't bear to sell the jewels on the pacifier. She intended to save it for Horace, to use it for his future wedding.. But if she didn't use it to negotiate with Maeve, she might not live to see that day.

A trace of mockery flashed in Maeve's eyes. She would never let a child thief enjoy her old age in peace.

Looking at Valda's confident expression, she chuckled.

Valda said, "Is it that complicated? I'd rather just ask the police for help, wouldn't that be much easier?"

Maeve stood up, casting a final glance at Valda. "You committed a crime and still expect leniency? Ridiculous."

This was why she chose to meet Valda instead of Scott. If it were Scott, that slippery old fox, she might not have been able to get him to reveal anything.

After leaving the meeting room, Maeve went to the police for help.

A few hours later, the police finally found the luxury pacifier in the Reese family's residence.

It was hidden in the ceiling, so well concealed that it would've been impossible to find without a thorough search.

Since it was evidence, Maeve would have to wait for a while before it could be returned to her.

She stood, examining the pacifier through the transparent evidence bag, feeling a complex mix of emotions.

This pacifier just screamed "nouveau riche."

Maeve wondered if her parents had overestimated an infant's strength. She thought, 'How could a baby possibly hold something this heavy in the mouth? Were they trying to train my strength?' In any case, there was some parental love there but not much.

Maybe it was because Maeve felt closer to finding her biological parents, she left the detention center with a spring in her
