Chapter 98

Although Rebecca didn’t know the exact purpose of that ring. Jackson had indeed given it to Stephanie.

Because Jackson said it was to make amends.

So when he took the ring, Rebecca was quite puzzled.

But as subordinates, they had no right to speculate about the boss’s intentions.

When Jackson heard Rebecca say that he had given the ring to Stephanie, his expression changed drastically. “I gave it to Stephanie?”

Rebecca nodded. “Yes, you gave it to Miss Giovanni.”

Jackson went silent.

In that split second, he felt that he was doomed.

Recalling how he had forcibly stuffed the box into Stephanie’s hands, Jackson slapped his forehead in frustration.

He had done the wrong thing. Thi

was going to be a disaster!

Glaring at Rebecca, he snapped, “Why didn’t you remind me?”

Giving a ring as an apology? What kind of nonsense was that?

Rebecca replied, “I did ask you, but you just said it was for Miss Giovanni. Then, I didn’t dare say anything more.”

She had wanted to ask at the time, but Jackson had been in a foul mood over the situation with Lilian and Stephanie.

Rebecca couldn’t help but ask, “What do we do now? Should we ask for it back?”

As soon as she said this, Jackson shot her another sharp glare, making her shut up immediately.

Ask for it back?

Jackson never took back something he had already given away.

But giving a ring as an apology…

Thinking about it, Jackson felt a massive headache coming on.

Retrieving it wasn’t really an option, but his gut told him that this ring was going to cause a lot of trouble.

Sure enough, at that moment, his phone rang–it was Elliot calling.
