Brian’s eyes narrowed dangerously.

“And why did you do that?”

“Here is the thing.

” Brian waved a hand dismissively, signaling for her to get out of the car.

Eleanor blinked at him and didn’t budge from her seat.

“May I ask who the real recipient of the jewelry is?”

Had he given it to Rosalynn?

“It’s none of your business.

Leave.

”

Brian didn’t even glance up at her again.

But Eleanor already felt certain that the jewelry was intended for

Rosalynn.

After all, Brian wasn’t involved in any romantic rumors with other women lately.

She couldn’t think of anyone else besides Rosalynn.
