Chapter 104

Chapter 104

On Jackson’s side.

As soon as he left Stephanie’s office, he received a call from Landyn Hayes, who, as always, was demanding the ring.

Yesterday, Jackson’s mood swing led Landyn to suspect he might have handed the ring to Jessica Lowe.

“Where are you now?” Jackson asked.

“Home. You coming to deliver it?” Landyn replied.

Deliver it?

The ring was already nothing but dust. There was no way to recover it unless he planned to rummage through the city dump.

“I’ll be there right away.”

With that, Jackson hung up.

Half an hour later.

Jackson drove to Landyn’s place. As soon as he arrived, Landyn demanded, “Where’s my ring?”

“Get in,” Jackson ordered.

“No–I want my ring!” Landyn protested.

Why did he need to get in the car?

Landyn wanted his ring back.

“I’m taking you to get it,” Jackson replied.

Landyn fell silent.

Get it? From whom?‘

‘Had that bastard really given the ring to Jessica?‘ Landyn wondered.

Now, Landyn’s anger flared.

He angrily opened the car door and climbed in.

If he didn’t get the ring back today, he vowed, he’d never let Jackson off.

Landyn assumed that Jackson was taking him to Jessica’s place, but soon, the car’s route took an odd turn.

“This isn’t the way to Jessica’s house. Where are we going?”

“You’ll know soon enough,” Jackson answered cryptically.

“You even sold my ring?” Landyn said.

Jackson’s head pounded; he didn’t feel like sparing Landyn any more words.

The car drove on for a full hour until it finally stopped in front of a secluded cafe.
