Chapter 1052
He calmly replied, “In-law.”
Maisie immediately asked, “Are you sure that Hector stole something? Did you investigate it?”
The officer didn’t know what to do. “The expensive stolen watch was found in Mr. Vanderbilt’s bag. We’re still investigating what actually happened.” Maisie rushed into the interrogation room when Hector turned to look at her and lowered his head. “I didn’t steal the watch.
Maisie looked at him. “I believe you, but what happened?”

Maisie took a deep breath because this was obviously a setup and held her forehead.” So he found out that you found out?”
Hector nodded.
Maisie looked at him. “How did you find out?”
Hector scratched his head. “I thought that woman was getting… so I rushed in,” Then he whispered, “How would I know that she was the wife of the editor-in-chief?”

Nolan contacted someone in the corridor and walked in when he was done. “We can go now. The editor-in chief of the magazine will run a thorough investigation.”
Maisie looked at him. “You contacted the editor-in-chief?” Nolan hugged her by the waist. I’m family. Shouldn’t I get some special treatment?”
