A ring!
Why did both Preston and Maurice lose a valuable ring?
Eliana was a little surprised. What a coincidence!
“What do you need me to do?” she asked after a brief pause.
“All you have to do is find out the whereabouts of this ring.”
Without waiting for her response, Hodge sent her a photo of the ring.
Eliana clicked on the photo and realized that the ring was familiar.
It was the gigolo’s ring!
It was exactly the same as Preston’s ring.
Eliana’s mind was a mess as she examined the ruby ring in the photo.
Why did two people who had nothing in common and weren’t connected with each other have the
same ring?
The only answer she could come up with was that Mr. Moran and the gigolo were the same person.
However, Eliana immediately dismissed this possibility.
Maurice and Preston both appeared at the same time that day. So it was impossible that they were just
one person.
Eliana was still hoping to get some useful information, but Hodge didn’t give her the chance as he
abruptly hung up the phone.
She held the phone and her heart was in turmoil.
Something was definitely wrong.
The mystery about the ring was like a small, sad stone in her throat. Things couldn’t possibly be so
coincidental.
Eliana dialed Preston’s number.
Maurice was in a meeting at that time.
On the stage, the Project Department’s director was explaining the company’s project plan for the
upcoming quarter. Maurice noticed that his phone was buzzing. He picked it up and realized that it was
a call from Eliana.
She had just declared that she didn’t believe him. What made her call him now? Oh! She was actually
calling Preston. But Maurice was in a meeting and couldn’t answer the phone and guise as Preston.
Maurice stared silently at the buzzing phone for a few seconds before turning it off.
Eliana became angrier when Preston did not answer the phone so she sent him several messages.
“Tell me the truth, Preston. Is the ring really your mother’s?”
“Are you lying to me?”
“You’ll be dead meat if you’re lying to me!”
Eliana felt deceived and became more enraged after not receiving a response.
Maurice and Preston were not one person, but they had the exact same ring, so there could only be
one truth.
Most probably, Preston stole the ring. Right! After all, how could a gigolo own such a valuable item?
Eliana suspected that Preston had stolen Maurice’s ring from somewhere. Then she had taken it away
by mistake, and he just tried to get her sympathy by saying it belonged to his mother.
The more Eliana thought about it, the angrier she became. She had felt guilty the entire time, but it
turned out that the gigolo was lying to her.
Maurice kept looking at his phone while in the meeting. He was getting anxious.
Maurice went back to his office right after the meeting. He then turned on his phone.
Several missed calls from Eliana popped up.
Why was she so eager to talk to Preston?
Several messages from her also appeared.
Reading the content, Maurice immediately felt alarmed and nervous.
Eliana learned about the ring?
Who told her?
Did someone tell her about it on purpose?
Why?
Maurice was deep in thought when Corbin came in.
“Boss, our men have found some information about Hodge.”
Maurice’s eyes lit up and he asked, “Where is he?”
Corbin wanted to say something but stopped on second thought. He just answered, “Hodge appeared
in Gerald’s territory.”
Sure enough, it seemed that Gerald had something to do with the issue about the ring.
Damn it! Both of his identities were now at odds with Eliana.
Maurice was expressionless and looked so cold. The temperature in the office seemed to drop several
degrees.
Even Corbin didn’t dare to take a deep breath or do any noticeable action for fear of irritating the CEO.
All of a sudden, Corbin’s phone alarm rang.
He glanced at Maurice as he turned off the alarm, hesitating to say something.
After a while, he uttered, “Boss, today is… that day.”
“I know.” For a few seconds, Maurice remained silent. “Postpone everything. I’ll come with you to pick
up Silas and have dinner at the old house. You can leave now.”
Maurice then closed his eyes. He was so tired.
Corbin turned around and walked away quietly. He had been working for Maurice for five years. Every
year on this special day, Maurice would stop working and show his vulnerability.
It was the death anniversary of his sister.
