Chapter 928 Are You Sure?
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?”

"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?
He wasn't happy with Jenny's attitude, though. "Hey! Keep that up, and I'll toss it into the
river right now!"
"Are you sure you're ready to deal with the consequences?"
"So, it's my fault I recovered a lost phone, then?" the man huffed.
Jenny scoffed again. "If you meant well, you would've given it back to its owner without
charge or handed it over to the police. If you think that's not worth doing, then just leave
the phone where you found it so the owner can trace their steps to recover it."
A couple hundred dollars was nothing to Jenny, but she refused to let the man get his way.
If he hadn't picked the phone up, Stephanie still might've recovered it if she traced her
steps back to where she'd been.
No way would she tolerate a stranger who immediately demanded money as payment for
recovering the phone.

He then hung up and plopped the phone behind some random bushes. Now he'd be out of
trouble, right?
Jenny then used her PC to track the phone's location. She'd already installed software on
Stephanie's phone just in case something happened to her, so she could easily track the
phone's location down.
On the drive to recover the phone, Jenny called Stephanie's father, who told her his
daughter would most likely be at work. So, Jenny decided to go find her friend at the
office.
She soon found Stephanie's phone and was about to head to her office when the phone
suddenly rang.
It was a stranger's number, with nothing except an 'M' on the caller ID. Jenny curiously
answered the call.
