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.
