Cross My Tigress Face the Wrath (Stella) novel Chapter 173

At Jeremy's side.

After leaving Stella's office, Jeremy immediately received a call from Caius, who was on about the ring again.

Jeremy had flipped his mood too quickly yesterday, making Caius suspect whether the ring ended up with Kellan or not.

Jeremy asked, "Where are you right now?"

"At home. You coming over to deliver it?"

Deliver what? That ring was long gone, vanished into thin air. Was he expected to rummage through a landfill?

"I'll be right there," with those words, Jeremy hung up.

Half an hour later, Jeremy pulled up at Caius's place, where Caius demanded, "Where's the ring?"

"Get in the car."

Caius questioned, “Where is my ring?”

Jeremy assured, "I'm taking you to it."

Caius, now fuming with suspicion, thought Jeremy might have indeed given the ring to Kellan. Exasperatedly, he got into the car, ready to confront Jeremy if the ring wasn't retrieved today.

Caius was expecting to head to Kellan's, but the route Jeremy took was unfamiliar.

"This isn't the way to Kellan's. Where are we going?"

"You'll see soon enough."

Caius said, "Did you sell my ring?"

Jeremy was at his wit's end with Caius and preferred to keep silent.

After an hour's drive, they stopped in front of a cozy-looking café, greeted politely by the server, "Mr. Patel."

"Which room is Mr. Quinn in?"

The server's expression stiffened at the words; he was clearly uncomfortable as he glanced at Jeremy.

Jeremy slipped a few bills towards the server, "No worries, I won’t make it hard for you."
