Chapter 1309
Maisie asked, “Where was it abandoned?”
The police officer put the photo on the table and replied, “It’s somewhere in the middle of
the wilderness. There is nothing left but the metal frame of the car. There was no one in the
car, so we do suspect that the accident was an intentional murder. After hitting the victim,
the culprit burned the car down to erase the evidence.”
Maisie pressed her lips thin, “what about the recording in the car?”
“Someone took it away,” the police officer replied.
Maisie fell silent. Without a doubt, it was an intentional murder, otherwise, they would not
need to go through all the effort of destroying the evidence. “This has nothing to do with Mr.
Donovan and his men, right?”
“We’ve interrogated them several times. They admitted that they had beaten and
threatened the victim before, but they didn’t kill her.”
After Maisie left the office, she stood in the corridor and frowned deeply.

she design a plan to kill Linda?
‘What is the thing that she’s trying to hide?’
Suddenly, Maisie remembered the poison that Linda had put into her tea. “Could it be...”
She returned to the office and said, “Sir, can you do me a favor?”
The police officer was stunned for a moment before he rose to his feet. “Sure, what can I do for you, Mrs.
Goldmann?”
She parted her lips and said slowly, “Can you fix Linda’s phone for me?”
The police officer was dumbfounded. After a short while, he replied, “Yes, we can try to do that. But even if we can
repair it, the storage card in it is gone.”
At Hannigans Inc....
After they had finished their meeting, Tanner and his assistant walked back into the office. There was a woman
waiting for them, she was sitting on the couch with her back facing them as she sipped on a cup of tea. The
assistant was shocked to see her, and he walked over to her. “How did you get in here?”
Cecile put the cup down and smiled. “I’ve been waiting for you, Mr. Hannigan.”
Tanner frowned. He sent his assistant away and walked to the couch to look at the woman. “Who are you?”
Cecile lifted her eyelids and laughed. “You don’t need to know who I am, Mr. Hannigan.”
After she finished speaking, she pulled a photo out of her purse and put it on the table.
“The woman you love dearly is living a good life overseas.”
Tanner took a seat on the couch and picked up the photo. There was no way he could forget the woman in the
photo. Even though her face had changed, he could recognize her instantly, she was none other than Pearl
Santiago.
When he saw the baby in her arms, his eyes turned bloodshot, and he gripped the photo so hard that it crumpled.
“Where did you get her photo from?”
Cecile said, playing with the cup in her hand, “I got to know Ms. Santiago overseas, she told
me that you let her go because you were upset about what happened in her past.”
Tanner’s face sank, and his heart trembled in his chest. Three years. It had been three years,
and he finally could see her smile again. However, that smile did not belong to him.
She had a kid, a kid that belonged to her and another man.
“Mr. Hannigan, honestly, I think you shouldn’t blame Ms. Santiago for that.” Cecile leaned

Santiago to lose her virginity, and I'm sure you should know better than me who that person
is, Mr. Hannigan.”
Tanner lifted his head, “what do you mean?”
Cecile sat upright, and a hint of coldness crossed her eyes. “If it weren’t for Maisie, Ms.
Santiago wouldn’t have ended up in that situation. She may seem like she doesn’t hate her
on the surface, but I’m sure she still hates her to the core deep down. It’s just that Maisie’s
Mr. Goldmann’s wife, so she can’t do anything to her. Ultimately, she has no choice but to
part with the man she loves since she isn’t pure anymore.
“Mr. Hannigan, Ms. Santiago told me that she still loves you after all these years, but she
can’t get over that thing.”
When Tanner did not say anything, Cecile went closer to him and said, “she wanted me to
pass you a message, she will only return to your side if Maisie is gone.”
After that, Cecile left the office without turning her head, leaving Tanner to sit frozen stiff on
the couch alone.
