Chapter 172

On Jackson’s side.

As soon as he left Stephanie’s office, he received a call from Landyn Hayes, who, as always, was demanding the ring

Yesterday, Jackson’s mood swing led Landyn to suspect he might have handed the ring to Jessica Lowe

“Where are you now?” Jackson asked.

“Home. You coming to deliver it?” Landyn replied.

Deliver it?

The ring was already nothing but dust. There was no way to recover it unless he planned to rummage through the city dump.

“I’ll be there right away.”

With that, Jackson hung up.

Half an hour later.

Jackson drove to Landyn’s place. As soon as he arrived, Landyn demanded, “Where’s my ring?”

“Get in,” Jackson ordered.

“No–I want my ring!” Landyn protested.

Why did he need to get in the car?

Landyn wanted his ring back.

“I’m taking you to get it,” Jackson replied.
