Chapter 108 Dare to Steal Mr. Davis's Wedding Ring Timothy was taken aback, "Lend it to you?" "Absolutely, this is the ring I designed after all," Penelope said with a light chuckle, "May I take a closer look at it? This is my first foray into the world of high-end custom jewelry." "Sure thing," Timothy replied after a brief pause.
"Oh, and Mr. Foster," Penelope added quickly, "let's not tell Kelvin about his, okay? I wouldn't want him to get the wrong idea." "Got it. I'll just say I haven't seen it." "Thank you, Mr. Foster." "No problem," Timothy responded, "keep it safe, and give it back once you're done." Penelope carefully placed the ring back into its box, adding half-jokingly, "I'll guard this with my life. Losing it isn't an option." Stepping out of the office, Monica couldn't contain her curiosity. "Penelope, are you alright?" "Hmm?" "What's with taking the ring?"

"How? Is the ring involved?" asked Monica.

She leaned in closer to Monica and whispered, "I've examined the ring; it could hide something small." "Like what?" "A micro recorder." Monica's eyes widened. "Penelope, you're a genius!" "That's why I need the ring. I have to set it up quickly," Penelope said, "Once Fiona has it, she'll either show it off or keep it with her. Anything she says will be recorded, which could be the evidence we need!" Under pressure, Penelope's determination grew.

Penelope opened the ornate box and gazed at the ring. "If Fiona terminated her pregnancy intentionally to frme, she must have confided in someone!" "I'm with you!" Monica replied eagerly.

"That'll do. I'll use it well," Penelope said, her resolve clear.
"I'll watch Fiona closely as well," Monica offered. "We'll catch her in the act." "You've been a great help." "We're like family here — no need for formalities," Monica said, excited.
