Chapter 357
She could tell from her instincts that something was wrong.
In the end, Maeve opened the door and asked, “Is there breakfast? I’m a little hungry.”

The morning glow painted the sky with a soft pink. Maeve sat at the center of the courtyard, and the housekeeper had prepared her breakfast.
She recalled what had happened in the dream. If it was true, her major bleeding wasn’t an accident. Clara had done that on purpose.
In the past, she thought Sergio was the one who had transferred the blood. Now that she thought about it again, Sergio could’ve done anything if he really wanted
her dead.
He wouldn’t have to wait until the time when she gave birth.
Besides, if Sergio wanted to make a move, he could kill her secretly, and no one would suspect anything. The hospital was full of people, so Sergio was unlikely to transfer the type–A blood.
“Is Mr. Levi awake?”
“He’s been awake since long ago.” The housekeeper asked, “Ms. Scott, do you want to meet him?”
“Yes, I think I need to go.”
Maeve had the evidence of the crime Philip had committed, so she could leave at any time. However, it was no different from sending Philip to prison if she exposed him.
Meanwhile, when Philip just woke up, someone knocked on the door.
The housekeeper opened the door and saw Maeve. She was startled. “M–Ms. Scott?”
Hearing the housekeeper’s voice, Philip came down and asked, “Who’s here?”
Philip went forward and saw Maeve coming in. His expression froze for a bit but returned to normal in the next second. Then, he ran up to Maeve and asked worriedly, “Mavy, how did you get out? What happened? Have the police conducted a thorough investigation?”
He asked several questions, but Maeve didn’t reply to any of them. She smiled faintly and said, “Uncle Phil, you truly care for me.”
“Of course. You’re Patrick’s only child. Why wouldn’t I care about you?”
Philip sighed and continued, “I wonder who set us up and caused you to be sent to jail. Many rumors have been circulating lately. I’m afraid something might happen to you.”
“Uncle Phil, don’t worry. I’m back here in perfect condition now.”
Maeve grinned and sat on the couch.
Philip was at a loss for words when he saw that.
Then, Maeve turned to look at Philip and said, “Uncle Phil, don’t stand there. Have a seat.”
“Oh… O–Okay.“.
Philip sat opposite Maeve and sized her up from time to time. “Mavy, tell me. How did you come out? Did Mr. Spencer say something to them in the police station?

“Uncle Phil, I was in there the whole day and couldn’t get in contact with anyone out there. I’m sorry for the trouble yesterday.”
Seeing that Maeve didn’t answer his question, Philip was more uncertain. “We’re family, but receiving bribes and misusing the company funds are huge deals. You can tell me if you need money.”
“Uncle Phil, do you have money?”
Maeve seemed intrigued and added, “I need one billion dollars to fix the discrepancy. The police said I only had to pay back the money I embezzled, but… the charges for corruption and bribery might be severe.

Philip had a foreboding feeling and replied, “Mavy, did you really receive bribes?”
“Uncle Phil, you’ve seen me grow up. Do you think I’d do that?”
“Of course, not! Someone must’ve set you up!”
Philip continued righteously, “If I catch that person who framed the Scotts, I will-”
“Smash!”
Suddenly, Maeve slammed a stack of documents on the table.
Silence ensued in an instant, and Philip stopped speaking, too.
Maeve said indifferently, “Uncle Phil, I’m your family. I didn’t want to beat around the bush, but it seemed like you didn’t plan to tell the truth.”
She went straight to the point, causing Philip to panic. He glanced at the documents and immediately knew the content. At this moment, he still held onto a glimmer of hope as he asked, “Mavy, w–what do you mean?”
