Chapter 109

Wow, you’ve got some nerve!” Odetta exclaimed, “Have you lost your mind, with that huge amount of money? Are you trying to get yourself behind bars?”

After the initial panic, Letitia actually calmed down. She replied, “Just because the wedding ring is in my bag, you think it’s stolen? You can’t just go around throwing accusations like that.”

Elgin glanced at it briefly, it was indeed the ring he intended to give to Shela.

Why was it in Letitia’s bag? She didn’t even want to admit that she had designed the ring.

“Mr. Ramirez, this is serious business. Stealing something this valuable could land her behind bars! Odetta put on her righteous act, “We should call the cops, let them handle it!”

Elgin drummed his fingertips on the desk.
