Cross My Tigress Face the Wrath (Stella) novel Chapter 170

Jeremy gasped, "You didn't manage to get it back for me?"

Stella winced, "I didn't dare!"

Jeremy was speechless. If Stella didn't dare to confront Ronald, was there anyone bold enough to take action?

Clearly not.

"Who took out the trash?"

A nearly one million dollar item just thrown away? Although it wasn't a big deal for him financially, his money certainly didn't come from a stroke of luck. Plus, the ring belonged to Caius.

Stella said, "Let me ask around."

She immediately picked up the internal phone and summoned Tabitha.

When Tabitha heard it was about the trash, she confessed, "I took it out when I left work yesterday."

"Did you happen to see a ring box in the trash?"

"Nope, it was all just paper."

Who would dig through the trash, anyway?

Stella glanced at Jeremy with a look that said it all.

This was a disaster.

The yesterday’s trash was already out, and he likely needed to head for the dump.

Jeremy turned to Tabitha, "You didn't see a pretty big box?"

Tabitha looked innocent, "No, I didn't."

Stella gazed at him, "The box wasn't that big."

It really wasn’t, just a ring box, after all.

Jeremy felt a headache coming on, especially remembering the call he'd just received from Caius, implying there'd be trouble if the ring wasn't found. It seemed his attempt to help had only made things worse.

Jeremy propped his forehead, "Couldn't you have checked? I mean, it was your boss's trash. What if she accidentally threw something important in there?"
