123 Chapter 123: Guilty Conscience

Avery's breath caught in her throat as a bodyguard presents the green diamond ring. Evan recognizes it as the one Avery claimed that her mother left for her. She strides over to take it from Evan's hand, but he acts quickly and wraps his fist around it. Avery touches his hand, but the ring is safely hidden from her.

"Can't wait to get hold of the ring?" Evan asks.

He has been observing her cool, organized demeanor for the last few hours, but all of that seemed to shatter when she saw the ring. Avery bites her lip and tensed her shoulders. She's furious with herself for losing her cool and revealing how much she cares about the ring. She knows that Evan has no idea it's Charles' and she also knows he hates deception and betrayal. If he learns she deceived him about the ring, he will take it as a huge betrayal.
