Chapter 151
“So Hodge called you and asked you to inquire about Maurice’s ring. And he will tell you the truth in exchange… Now, you have to find a ring that looks exactly like the one that… Preston lost?”
“That’s right.” Eliana nodded.
“Oh God! Who the hell does that ring belong to?”
Nana was perplexed to hear Eliana’s words.
Eliana was also stunned, feeling like the whole issue was a little outrageous.
“What do you think I should do now?” Lost in thought, Eliana rubbed the bridge of her nose.
All of a sudden, a brilliant idea occurred to Nana.
“Eliana, I don’t think now we should worry about the owner of the ring now. Hodge wants the ring, right? How about we use whatever we know about the ring as bait to lure him out?”
Upon hearing that, Eliana’s eyes lit up at once.
“Great! Why didn’t I think of this before? You’re right. I will try to lure Hodge out the next time he calls me.”
Hodge called her not long after they came up with the plan.
Eliana took a deep breath and answered the phone, putting it on speaker.
“Eliana. Have you made up your mind yet?”
Hearing Hodge’s question, Eliana and Nana glanced at each other.
“Yes. I found the ring you were looking for,” Eliana said in a firm voice.
“What? You found it? Really? Where is it now?” Hodge asked excitedly.
“Listen, Hodge, I can give you the ring, but you’ll have to meet me in person and tell me the truth.”
Seeing that he was about to take the bait, Eliana did not waste any time.
However, there was a long silence on the other end of the line.
With a slight frown, Eliana asked, “Are you hesitant to meet me because you’re following someone else’s orders?” novelbin
“No, you think too much,” Hodge retorted stiffly.
Eliana sneered, “Then why are you so afraid to show me your face? It’s because the one who instigated you to do all this is the real mastermind, right?”
Hodge fell silent again.
For some reason, Eliana felt like she heard someone else’s voice over the phone. And the person seemed to be commanding Hodge. She thought that it might be because she was feeling nervous.
“The ring is what I want. You don’t have to know the reason. I can meet you, but you must let me decide when and where.”
Hodge finally took the bait!
Suppressing the excitement in her heart, Eliana said in a calm voice, “Sure.”
“I will see you at the Impression Cafe on Phoenix Road, at 11:00 a.m. tomorrow morning.”
“Okay, it’s settled, then.” Eliana was relieved.
As soon as she hung up, Nana jumped and sat down beside her. “Great! We did it!”
“Yes, it was not easy, but we can’t let him run away from us this time,” Eliana remarked with a smile.
“Don’t worry. We can ask someone to help us catch him. I am sure we can make him tell us the truth!” Nana cried out.
“But have you ever thought of the fact that Kimora is the only one who can help us? The three of us are all women. How can we manage to catch Hodge?”
Eliana was not as optimistic as Nana, because Hodge was a man. Moreover, they were suspicious that there might be someone else controlling him.
“You are so silly. Go and find Preston! He has a lot of contacts, right? So it won’t be a big deal for him to find some men. And you can ask Hodge and Preston about the ring tomorrow since they’ll both be there. Killing two birds with one stone, you know?”
Eliana realized that it was perfect.
Nana’s plan was the best way to find the truth.
