its been more than 12 hours... i have one

A rich man named Stuart Laidlaw had been counting his money.
When he finished, he accidentally left a $1000.00 bill on his
desk but when he returned for it a short while later, it was
gone. Only two other persons could have seen the bill. One was
the cook; the other was the gardener. The cook told him that she
had hidden it for safekeeping under a green book that was on the
desk. But when they looked the bill was not there. The gardener
said he had found the bill where the cook had left it. He had
placed it inside the book, where he thought there was less
chance that somebody would find it. He had written down the page
numbers so that he would not forget them. The bill was between
pages 45 and 46, he said. But when they looked, there was no
money in the book. After Mr. Laidlaw had talked to the cook and
the gardener, he called the police. He was sure he knew who had
taken the money. Who was it, and how did he know?

I think it was no one. It could have gotten stuck on the green book and blended in. It happens to me in books so why not.

well i think that it was the gardener because pages 45 and 46 would usually be printed on the same page, the gardener corroborated the cook's story and in the riddle the gardener was the last to see it

the why not is that if Stuart Laidlaw knew it was taken and called the police, and the riddle is asking how he knew
