To Be Yours Again novel (Alec and Jenny) novel Chapter 928

It was nearly noon when Jenny called Stephanie again. This time someone answered, though, to her surprise, it wasn't Stephanie, but a stranger.

"Is this your phone? You can have it back for five hundy, or I'll toss it into the river." A man's voice came from the other end of the call.

Jenny blinked in surprise but swiftly recovered. "Did you find the phone somewhere?"

"What'd you think? You're not gonna say I stole it, are you? I'm telling you, I didn't steal it. I just found it by the road." The man sounded worried as if he really might get in trouble.

Now Jenny was worried. How did Stephanie's phone end up by the roadside?

"Do you want it back or not?"

"Yes. Send me a location. I'll come to meet you."

"Nope. Just send me the money, and I'll have it posted back to you by courier."

Jenny scoffed. "What difference would that make? If I wanted to report you to the police, I could track you down just from your bank account records."

"You—"

"If you don't have what it takes, then just give up. Put the phone back where you found it, and I'll get it myself," Jenny hissed.

The man chewed on his lip, somewhat scared. It was his first time finding a lost phone, after all. He also knew very well that blackmail wasn't lawful. But this person wouldn't call the cops on him just for a few hundred bucks, right?
