Chapter 1310
Tanner looked at the crumpled photo and set his jaw tightly.
At night, Maisie was doing the financial report in her notebook on the bed. When Nolan came out of the bathroom, he put the towel he used to wipe his hair aside and walked up to her.
The bed sank, and a warm body approached her from behind. Before she could do anything, she was enveloped by the fragrance of the body shampoo.
“Are you still working, Zee?” he asked.
She turned over and placed her palm on his chest. “Of course, I‘m busy. I have to bring work home.”
Nolan kissed the center of her eyebrows before moving on to her lips. She groaned and reached out to hug him. “Nolan.”
“I’m here,” he replied as he deepened the kiss.
Maisie opened her lips with difficulty and said, “I don‘t feel comfortable if we can‘t find out the relationship between Cecile and Maxine. It seems to me that Maxine is coming for me.”
He stopped and glanced at her face. Maisie‘s eyelashes trembled, and she continued, “Linda‘s death might be related to the person who wanted to poison me. I wasn‘t dead. Her plan failed, so Linda was killed.”
Nolan stroked the corner of her lips with his finger, and his breath was heaving.” Has it never crossed your mind that they might be one person, Zee?” “One person?” Maisie asked.
Nolan sat upright. The desire was slowly gone from his eyes, leaving nothing but coldness behind. “I asked Quincy to keep an eye on her, so I know everything she did in Blackgold. She was absent from work on the day of Linda‘s accident.”
Maisie turned around and sat up. She knew what Nolan was trying to say. Cecile had left the company when Linda ran into the accident.
Suddenly, she thought of something and asked, “How about the day before yesterday?”
“It‘s the same,” he replied.
Maisie pressed her lips thin and lowered her head. The day before yesterday, someone had visited. Linda‘s place. The wife of the landlady‘s son had said it was a woman, and everything fell into place. Cecile, who had been absent from work when Linda ran into the accident and who had visited Linda‘s place the day before yesterday, was Maxine.
In other words, Maxine had changed her face and her identity, but why did she do that?
There was no feud between her and Maxine.
