My Baby’s Daddy Chapter 1540

This Family Has Me

“I’ll go and see who’s at the door! Miss Queenie, please sit down and rest.” After saying that, Courtney

hurried to the door.

It didn’t take long for her to guide a man carrying a large box into the house. Queenie stood up in

astonishment. “Mr. Reeves!”

“Miss Silverstein, is Mr. Manson here?” Ashley asked.

“Yes. He’s resting upstairs. Did he ask you to come?”

“That’s right. Mr. Manson asked me to deliver a box of things to him. In that case, I’ll be going upstairs

first!” After saying that, he changed into a pair of indoor flip-flops and immediately headed upstairs.

“It’s the room on the left on the third floor,” she responded.

Ashley responded affirmatively. After arriving on the third floor, he knocked on the door to the left. The

door opened, and Nigel stepped out from the room. He glanced at the box in Ashley’s hands, but the

outer packaging made it difficult for anybody to see what was contained inside the box. Nevertheless,

he reached out to take the box from Ashley and said, “Alright, you may return now!”

Queenie was stunned. Just what did Nigel ask Ashley to deliver? It’s such a large box, but I can’t see

what’s inside from the outer packaging alone.

At this moment, the sound of a car engine came from the yard. Both Queenie and Courtney walked

over and looked outside at the same time. They were greeted by the sight of Brandon driving in the

driver’s seat and Maggie sitting in the passenger’s seat. Both of them seemed to be rather furious

about something.

“Dad, Mom, what’s wrong? Is Leslie not coming?” Queenies asked curiously.

Maggie angrily snapped, “Don’t even mention it! We have completely severed all ties with the Paynes.

They’ve gone too far! We only wanted Leslie to come over and testify for us, but the Paynes refused to

let him come.”

At this moment, somebody else rang the doorbell again. Courtney trembled at the sound. When she

saw the police car outside, she anxiously clutched at Queenie. “Miss Queenie, the police are here.”

“Don’t worry! I’m here for you.”

The two elders of the Silverstein Family did not believe that Courtney would do such a thing either, but

their second daughter’s well-founded suspicion left them wondering who to trust. As Bonnie refused to

sweep this matter under the rug, they had to figure out the situation. Therefore, they were left with no

choice but to let Courtney be questioned by the police.

“Dad, we don’t need to involve the police in this matter. Please go outside and greet them, but tell them

that we found the jewelry. So, there’s no need to trouble them any further,” Queenie said to her father.

Brandon was taken aback. “Have you found the jewelry?”

“Perhaps I accidentally misplaced them somewhere. In any case, this is a minor incident that should

stay within the family. We should not involve the police in this matter.” She continued to persuade her

father.

“Go on, honey. We can solve this matter behind closed doors. After all, Bonnie was the one who called

the police without our consent,” Maggie added. She did not wish for the police to be involved in this

matter either.

Afterward, Brandon went to greet the police and Courtney breathed a sigh of relief.

At this moment, Bonnie’s figure appeared at the doorway. She had seen the police car from the third

floor and naturally wanted to invite the police into the house so that they could investigate the case

immediately.

“Mom, why didn’t you invite the police inside?” she asked in confusion.

“Bonnie, there’s no need to take up the police’s time with this trivial matter. Let’s sit down and have a

proper discussion among ourselves to see where the jewelry could have gone.”

“But it’s gone! Didn’t we search the house?” She immediately lost her temper. “Mom, do you not trust

me?”

“It’s not that, Bonnie. I do trust you, but I also believe that Courtney would never do something like this.

I’m sure the jewelry must have accidentally fallen into a hidden corner somewhere,” Maggie comforted

Bonnie.

“That’s impossible! It’s gone! It was taken by somebody!” Bonnie gritted her teeth in frustration.

At this moment, a figure stood beside the railing of the third floor. Thanks to the vast and empty

hallway, Nigel heard their conversation clearly.

He returned to Queenie’s room, took four boxes, and went downstairs.

“Miss Bonnie, do you have any evidence? Do you have a video of me taking the jewelry? Did you

witness me taking the jewelry with your own eyes? If not, please do not falsely accuse me again!”

“How did I falsely accuse you? I know you took the jewelry! Your family is so poor. How can you remain

indifferent to the jewelry? I’m sure you saw the four boxes of jewelry and thought that Queenie wouldn’t

notice even if you secretly took one of the four boxes of jewelry! Well, too bad for you! This family has

me to protect them!” Bonnie sneered.

Her tone of voice was extremely confident, almost as though she had caught Courtney red-handed in

the act.
