The Reclaimed Rose (Annalise and Steven)

Chapter 520

"Why would you want me to keep an eye on Annalise?" the voice on the other end asked, sounding confused. "You don't need to know why," Jessica replied, her gaze drifting to the balance in her mobile banking app.

"Just let me know when she's alone," Jessica instructed. "Then your job will be done."

The person was curious but chose not to push further. "Got it."

"Didn't you ask me to dig into Zane's first love?"

"Oh?" Steven immediately felt disappointed when he realized it wasn't Zane, but the mention of his first love sparked his interest.
