Chapter 376 “I got it.”

Maeve pondered for a while and ordered, “Have someone look into this at the police station. Check if there’s any prostitute who’s been imprisoned lately and is the same age as Clam.”

“Prostitute?”

Zayla was baffled. She wondered what this had to do with prostitutes.

In her past life, Maeve remembered that when Conner had found Nathalie, it had been reported on the news that she was a prostitute. She had probably been imprisoned because of prostitution. Then, she had been tormented, and after struggling for half a year, she had passed away.

If they looked for prostitutes who were the same age as Clara, they would probably discover something.

“Anyway, just follow my orders. I think we’ll be able to find some clues.”

“Okay, Ms. Scott.”

Although Zayla didn’t know the reason, she still followed Maeve’s orders.

Maeve hung up the phone. Lyra asked in confusion, “Are you suggesting that Clara used some tricks to exchange her identity with the real Nathalie, who had been imprisoned because of prostitution?”

“It’s just an assumption,” Maeve replied indifferently. “Since Belle has confirmed that Clara is her daughter, her identity must be fake. If she managed to change her identity, she had likely exchanged her identity with the female inmate she had met when she was in prison.”

“That’s right. Clara had probably met someone while she was in prison. She’s pretty good at pulling tricks. It’s not her first time impersonating someone else anyway. Your assumption could be right ”

Lyra finally caught on to the situation and added, “I’ll have Charlie look into it now!”

“Hold on.” Maeve shook her head and said, “It’d be better not to alert them right now. I don’t think this is as simple as it seems.”

“What do you mean?”

“Conner Jefferson isn’t an ordinary man. He wouldn’t come unprepared if he could come all the way to Seathbum City to look for Nathalie Ramoz. Would he be deceived by Clara’s poor act so easily?”

Lyra fell into deep thoughts before she asked, “Perhaps he didn’t have the time to mull things over?”

“I’m not sure either. I just feel something isn’t right. Let’s wait for the updates from Ms. Bellingham’s investigation.”

Right then, the sound of the door unlocking came from the living room. Charlie came in, his nose red. “It was snowing heavily out there. I’ll freeze to death soon!”

“Why are you alone? Where’s zee?”

Lyra looked around but didn’t see Zion.

Charlie replied, “He won’t be back so soon.”

“What do you mean by that? Why aren’t you with him?”

Charlie explained, “He felt that I was bothering him, so he told me to come home and take care of you! He went alone.”

“How could you let him go there alone? Don’t you know his temper? What if—”

“Oh my! I was scolded by Zion, and now you’re scolding me again! Both of you are are driving me nuts!” Charlie complained.

Then, he placed a huge bag in front of Maeve and said, “Zion told me to bring these back. He said that these can help to nourish the skin and reduce the swelling and bruises!”

Lyra was puzzled as she asked, “That’s a lot. You bought them?”

“How is that possible? Why would a man like me know about these skincare products?”

After saying that, Charlie coughed and said, “He bought them, but be paid using my card.”

Lyra rolled her eyes at Charlie “You’re so stingy. I’ll transfer the money to you later.”

“Lyra, do you know how much of my money Zion has spent to pursue a lady? He still owes me a lot of money.”

Maeve asked, “2ion still owes you a lot of money?

“Yeah! The first time he met you, he.. Ouch!”

Before Charlie could finish speaking, Lyra stepped on him.
