Chapter 406

This matter had blown up so much that even the McDaniel family received the news. Mr. McDaniel lost his temper at home and demanded that Byron immediately sever ties with Maeve to avoid affecting the McDaniel family. He was then mercilessly suppressed by Alexis.

"Your illegitimate son has already committed a crime and is being reformed in prison. I don't see you cutting ties with him. Instead, you have the cheek to use your connections to open a back door for him! Jason, if you don't want this face anymore, I'll tear it off for you now!"

Mr. McDaniel felt speechless, thinking, "This shrew!"

Alexis sneered. "If you're so capable, go and put on airs in front of Byron. Do you dare? If you're not capable, shut up."

Mr. McDaniel's face turned red. "This is outrageous. I'm the head of this family! Be more polite!"

Before Alexis could react, a walking stick knocked on Mr. McDaniel's back. "You're the head of the family, but what am I?" Gilbert glared at him with a dignified expression. Mr. McDaniel didn't dare to say a word.

Alexis looked at him mockingly, helped Gilbert to sit down, and discussed with him how to resolve Maeve's matter. Seeing this, Mr. McDaniel mocked her. "When did you get bribed by her?"

In the past, Alexis disliked Maeve. Now, Maeve's matter was more important; she didn't want to bother with him. Not only the McDaniel family, but others were also pressuring the Kleymond police department. In the end, the chief had no choice but to personally visit and ask them to quickly release her.

Unexpectedly, Maeve refused to leave.

"I hope you can clear me of the charges in the same way you detained me for those charges. I won't take a single step out of this interrogation room until then." Maeve's eyes were clear and cold, her attitude extremely tough. There was no reason for them to catch and release her whenever they wanted. Now, the outside world knew she was being detained for investigation. If no results were released, others would only think she had used her connections to avoid a calamity, not that she was innocent. If she could not resolve this matter quickly, she felt she would not escape being judged in the future. She had committed no crime and could withstand any investigation.

The chief persuaded her for a while, but to no avail. He took his phone and went out.

"Yes, she refused to leave. She wanted us to clear her, but the problem is she's innocent. It's all the fault of the Erancia police." The chief complained on the phone, "General Soar, you're accusing me wrongly. They went past me to sign the arrest warrant. I didn't know about it beforehand."

"There are quite a few vermin in your system," Gale's calm voice sounded. "Investigate what needs to be investigated. Don't let our citizens suffer injustice for nothing. Otherwise, it's no different from putting our faces in front of them and being beaten up." However, Maeve's attitude surprised him. Unexpectedly, this little girl looked soft and weak, but her bones were quite tough.

The director quickly agreed. "Yes. You're right. Don't worry, I'll personally keep an eye on this matter. I guarantee that nothing will go wrong again."

After hanging up, the chief heaved a sigh of relief. Then, the next call came in. His nerves tensed again. "Mr. McDaniel, hello..."

It was unknown what the other party said, but the chief's face turned bitter. This was simply inviting a great God back.

The Erancia police were very dissatisfied with the Kleymond police for not cooperating and even letting Maeve go. They were prepared to ask their superiors to bring Maeve back to their country for surveillance and investigation. Then, they were scolded by their superiors.

"I asked you to arrest the wanted criminal and recover the missing jewelry, but I didn't ask you to implicate innocent citizens from other countries! Who gave you the right to make your own decisions! If you don't want to work anymore, take off your uniforms and go home to eat your own food!"

After scolding them, their superior hung up the phone and looked at the two noble lords sitting on the sofa opposite them with cold sweat on their foreheads.

"Your Highness Hosea, Your Highness Loren, this is all a misunderstanding. I've already severely criticized these people under me for messing around. I'll definitely give you a satisfactory answer."

Tom crossed his legs and said expressionlessly, "Do you want me to believe that they took the initiative to go to Setigal to arrest someone without receiving any orders?"

"Minister Des, you've been in this position for many years. It's not easy to get promoted, but if you fall..." Loren paused and said with a smile, "I really want to know what it feels like. Can you please tell me after you try it?"

Minister Des, who was being eyed by the two lions, was speechless. He really wanted to escape. One was the Queen's preferred heir, and the other was the nephew of the future heir. Minister Des could not understand why they would support an ordinary woman. If he had known earlier, he would not have agreed to help that person.

"Your Highnesses, please give me a chance to atone for my crimes."

"Uh-huh."

The several parties had contributed to a goal without communicating with each other. In less than half a day, the Kleymond police station issued an official statement with the Erancia police. The year of the jewel robbery, Maeve had not yet been born. After she was born, she was secretly raised by the Reese family. Her life trajectory was completely opposite to that of the jewelry thieves. She did not contact them privately and was only recently approached. The jewelry that had been lost back then had been recovered through her and was now in police custody.

On the legal level, Maeve was not guilty; handing over the jewelry was a meritorious deed. However, from the perspective of public opinion, there were still people stirring up trouble with the black mark that she was the descendant of the perpetrator.

“[When I see her now, I will think that her biological father is an internationally wanted criminal. Then, I will think that she has the genes of a criminal. She will definitely commit crimes in the future.]

[She's not completely innocent. The blood of a wanted criminal flows through her body. This is her original sin.]

[Can you ban her? I'm really afraid that my child will learn bad things from her.]

[There are really too many trolls. The addresses are all the same.]

[I say, are you guys done? The officials think that Maeve is innocent. Are you guys still so awesome or do you know how to predict? You just said that he will definitely commit crimes in the future.]

[The McDaniel Group actually didn't say anything this time. In the past, as long as something happened to Maeve, the other party would immediately follow. They were even more active than Dreamscape's official account.]

[Isn't it obvious? Who is the president of the McDaniel Group? Is Maeve worthy of a descendant of a criminal? Look, aren't they broken up?]

[It's good that they broke up. I don't want my idol to be tainted because of her. Otherwise, I'll cry for a year.]”

Faye, who was waiting at home for the court hearing, saw these comments online and vented her anger. 'So what if Maeve stole her collaboration with Islaton Private International Kindergarten? So what if she hooked up with the McDaniel Group's president? Isn't this retribution?'
