At this time, Grayson walked in, asking, "What's up?"

Grayson's men approached too, and when I saw him, I quickly straightened up and asked, "You're back? Where's Ryan?"

Before I could ask any more about Ryan, Grayson suddenly strode toward me and took the stone from my hands. Astonished, he asked, "Chloe, where did you get this?"

I explained, "Didn't I tell you? It's a gift from someone.”

Grayson held the stone carefully, examining it closely like he was holding a precious treasure. When Lauren saw his surprised expression, she scoffed. "Do you really need to exaggerate like that?"

Grayson ignored Lauren and continued to scrutinize the stone in his hands. "Who gave this to you, Chloe?"

I sensed that something was strange, so I pressed, "What's wrong? I got it from Archie’s friend in Solaris.”

Grayson’s eyes remained fixed on the stone.

He finally looked up, asking, "Do you know what this is?"

I was confused by his question and replied, "Isn't it just a stone? What's with it?
