Chapter 1044

After her rant, Vera, still fuming, called Molly.

Molly sounded out of breath when she picked up the phone, and it wasn’t clear what she’d been doing.

“It’s so late. What’s the emergency?” she asked, her tone clearly annoyed.

Vera didn’t care about the time or whether she was interrupting Molly. In anger, she demanded an answer from Molly.

“Joe was so cold to me, and he even made me explain my relationship with him in front of Skylar. Skylar seems to be more important to him than I am. Is this what you meant when you said once I got back to Jipsburg, he’d start to hate her and fall for me instead?”

“Did you lie to me?” Vera snapped as she rummaged through her bag, frantically searching for the ring.

“Why would I lie to you? What would I even gain from that? If you don’t believe me, then return the ring,” Molly shot back, equally frustrated.

Vera’s expression changed as she suddenly let out a panicked cry, “The ring is gone! I think I lost it when I left Galaxy Villa. I don’t know if I dropped it in the villa or outside!”

“What? You lost it? Where did you put it? How could you just lose it? You better find it! If Skylar gets her hands on it, you can forget about ever getting close to Joe again!” Molly’s voice was laced with panic
