"Harvey?"
Seeing that Harvey did not reply, June could not help adding, "So what should we do with the jade ring now?"
Harvey rubbed his brows, trying to think of what to do.
Even though he did not know how the jade ring he gave to Bonnie ended up with Joshua...since it was no longer in Bonnie's hands, he thought it would be best t o return it to Jim.
Therefore, he let out a sigh and said, "Um, June, don't tell anyone about this, but please wash the ring and spray some perfume on it, then place it back in Mr. Landry’s study desk drawer."
"Alright." With that, June hung up the phone, took the ring into the washroom to clean it, then carried it out the door.
As soon as she stepped out the door, she ran into her father, Christopher.
Christopher lowered his head to glance at the ring in June's hands, then shook his head in exasperation. " You two, playing with Jim's stuff again. This is beloved to him; what'll happen if you break it?"
With that, he took the ring and was about to place it back in Jim's study when he noticed a chip in one of
the edges.
Christopher frowned and brought it up against the light to check on it. As soon as he did this, he noticed something hidden within the ring.
It seemed to be a microchip.
Christopher furrowed his brows and, after warning June to never play with this with Harvey again, surreptitiously placed it back in Jim's study desk drawer.
No wonder Jim cherished this ring like a treasure and never allowed it to leave his sight. Not only did his late mother leave it for him...but there was even a secret hidden within it.
As soon as he placed the ring back into Jim's study, Christopher sent Jim a message to tell him that the ring had been found.
After reading the message, Jim tucked his phone away with a frown and strode over to Joshua's side. H e stood next to Joshua and lifted his head to glance at the second-floor window.
There was such an obvious shadow behind the curtains...
