Chapter 894
Maizie opened the box that held the ring and took the antique wedding ring away. However, she did not
know that the camera at the
corner was emitting a red light when she left the study room.
Maizie came out in her car. She contacted Katrina, and both of them met up in a coffee shop.
She arrived first, and Katrina arrived afterward.
“It truly surprises me that you’ve gotten the money so soon, Ms. Hannigan.”
Maizie put her purse on the table and said nonchalantly, “Rather than $8,000,000 in cash, I’d trade you
for something worth more than $ 3,000,000.”
Katrina frowned. “What’s the thing that you want to trade?” When she saw Maizie pull out that ring, her
expression changed. Maizie put the ring in front of her, and Katrina calmed herself down. She asked,”
How did you get the ring?” “Well, I’m the future daughter-in-law of the Bouchers. My father-in-law and
mother-in-law have gotten a divorce, so I just took the ring from Francisco. Alright, let’s cut the crap. Do

“Exchange for what?” Katrina asked again.
Maizie looked at the ring and said,” Francisco took the ring for me behind his father’s back. You can’t
expect me to go back empty-handed, right? Don’t you have a perfect replica of this ring?”
Katrina now understood what she was trying to say. She smiled and asked, “Are you sure Francisco
gave you this ring?”
“What’re you trying to say, Katrina? Are you trying to imply that I stole it?” Maizie replied, nearly exposing
herself. She then tried to calm herself down and said through gritted teeth. “You must be delusional. How
the heck would I get the ring if Francisco didn’t give it to me himself.”
Katrina looked at her for a while and pushed the ring back to her. “I want $ 8,000,000 in cash. I don’t
accept other things as an exchange.”
“Katrina, if you take this ring and sell it, you might get more than $8,000,000.” Maizie squeezed the
words through her teeth exasperatedly.
Katrina rose to her feet, and Maizie was stunned. She slammed her hands on the table and looked at her
downward. “Ms. Hannigan, are you kidding me? Do you know that this ring is a worldwide limited edition,
the only one of its kind?”
Maizie was stumped and couldn’t say anything. There was a sarcastic hint tugging at the corner of
Katrina’s eyes as she continued. “GO back and read a book. Don’t come out and embarrass yourself
with that empty head of yours. Everyone in Bassburgh knows that Eugene bought this ring in an auction
that year, and you want me to sell it? What am I? Stupid?”
Eugene would certainly learn about it once she took the ring to a jewelry store or an auction house. She
was not an idiot.
Even though she had been Eugene’s lover: n the past, she was not stupid and would never fall into the
trap set by a little girl “You…” Maizie was so exasperated she could not say anything right now. She had
been under the impression Katrina would certainly want the ring since it was expensive. She did not
know that the ring was a limited edition at all. “I’ll give you one more day, Maizie. I want money. Don’t
give me these sh*t anymore.’ Katrina then left the coffee shop without turning her head back, leaving
Maizie sitting alone in her seat, her face turning pale and red.

At Soul…
“Uncle Kennedy asked for a leave again?” Maisie asked as she looked at Lucy, a female employee from
her company.
Lucy was Kennedy’s assistant, and she was the one who took care of everything when Kennedy was not
in.
Lucy let out a smile of embarrassment and said, “Mr. Kennedy has been quite busy lately.”
Resting her chin on her hand, Maisie asked, “Did he ever tell you what he was busy with?”
Lucy pondered for a while and shook her head. However, she seemed to have remembered something
and said, “Oh yeah, I often see Mr . Kennedy sneaking out of the office and making phone calls
elsewhere. I bumped into him a couple of times, and he looked particularly gentle when he was on the
phone. Could it be that Mr. Kennedy is seeing a woman and hasn’t told us about it?”
Kennedy was 48 years old this year, and everyone in the company knew that he had not married yet.
After listening to Lucy’s speculation, Maisie also began to suspect it. After all, Kennedy would rarely take
a leave of absence and disappear in the past.
