Chapter 604 Growth
Maggie felt as if she had grasped hope, seen hope, and she was ecstatic.
Olivia threw out the doll, and the hotel cleaner also said that they saw the doll talking to Adalia. It was the same doll; it couldn't be a coincidence.
Maggie was already certain in her heart that the matter was related to Isabella.
Maggie couldn't contain her excitement and wanted to find Isabella. Brian stopped her, "Maggie, these aren't direct pieces of evidence, they only increase Isabella's suspicion. If you go now, you'll alert her."
"I know, but I can't wait, Brian. I finally found a clue. Isabella must have taken Adalia, it must be her."
While Maggie and Brian were talking, Anouk tried to sneak away.
Maggie noticed and quickly caught up, saying, "Anouk, can you sell me this doll? Name your price, I'll buy it."
This was evidence.
Anouk refused to give it up, "My grandson likes it. If I sell it to you, my grandson will definitely cry."
"$200." Maggie took out her phone. "I'll transfer you $200. That's enough to buy several of these dolls. Just let me have this one."
When Anouk heard $200, her eyes lit up. It was like getting $200 for free.
Seeing how straightforward Maggie was, Anouk extorted a bit more, "$500. If you want it, I'll sell it to you. If not, forget it."
Maggie agreed readily, "Okay, $500. I'll give it to you right now."
Anouk immediately regretted it, thinking she had asked for too little.
Seeing Brian by Maggie's side, Anouk wisely didn't make a fuss, took the money, and handed over the doll to Maggie.
Getting $500 for free, Anouk was very pleased, thinking to herself that there really are people with more money than sense.
Maggie took the doll and calmed down. Staring in the direction of Isabella's apartment, she said, "As long as I keep an eye on her, I don't believe I won't find Adalia."
This time, Maggie didn't plan to tell the police about the clue. With the way the police handle things, they would definitely take Isabella in for questioning, which would alert her.
Brian said, "Isabella hasn't left her apartment for a week. She should go out in the next couple of days. No one stays home all the time."
"You keep the doll. We'll come back tomorrow. If she still doesn't go out, we'll find a way to make her go out." Maggie suppressed the urge to confront Isabella. It had already been a few months, a little more time wouldn't hurt.
Brian said, "Maggie, let me take you home. It's late, Fiorello will be worried about you."
Fiorello had been very busy lately. Maggie asked, "Brian, can Fiorello handle the situation with Holden?"
"Fiorello won't let Holden go to jail," Brian said. "Though it's tricky, Fiorello can handle it. The contract was signed under deception, that's the flaw."
Maggie couldn't help with this matter. The only thing she could do was not to add more trouble for Fiorello.
When Maggie got home, Fiorello hadn't returned yet. Arya had made chicken soup and kept it warm in the pot. Seeing Maggie return, she served her a bowl.
The only thing Arya could do now was to make some good food for Maggie to nourish her body. She couldn't help with the Flores family company's troubles, nor did she have the ability to find Adalia.
Maggie drank a bowl of chicken soup and ate a few pieces of chicken. She knew she needed to nourish the baby in her belly. She had to take care of herself, gather her strength, and then she could do more.
"Mom, give me another bowl of rice." Maggie had a good appetite.
Arya was pleased to see this, "Okay, I'll get it right away. It's good that you can eat more. You've lost weight recently."
While others gain weight during pregnancy, Maggie had lost weight, which made Arya feel distressed.
During her pregnancy, Maggie had a poor appetite and with so many things going on, she often couldn't eat much. Today was a rare occasion where she had a good appetite.
Arya served Maggie another bowl of rice and said, "I'll pour some chicken soup over the rice, it'll be more flavorful."
"Okay." Maggie took another big sip of chicken soup and said, "Mom, I found a clue. Today at Isabella's apartment, I met their neighbor. They were wearing the doll costume that the person who took Adalia was wearing. I asked, and Olivia threw it out. This proves that Isabella wore the doll costume and took Adalia."
