Starfield - Talk to Royce at Dawn

2. Find Hugo Fournier at Athena Tower

Royce will tell you to track down Hugo Fournier who is currently residing at Athena Tower near Dawn's Roost. Follow your quest marker that will lead you there and confront Hugo at the building's lobby.

At this point, you'll have the option to either persuade Hugo to hand over the engagement ring or allow him to keep it.

3. Report to Sergeant Yumi

Starfield - Report Back to Sergeant Yumi

Once you've dealt with Hugo, report back to Sergeant Yumi and you can either return the ring to him or tell him that you've let Hugo keep it as the ring was a gift and that it wasn't stolen property.

A Break at Dawn Choice Guide

Should You Let Hugo Keep the Ring?

Choice Outcome
Persuade Hugo to Hand Over the Ring Option to keep the ring for yourself and sell it to any vendor. (Value: 655 Credits)
Let Hugo Keep the Ring Lose chance to keep the ring for yourself.

Your decision on whether to let Hugo keep the ring or not won't really matter as you'll still receive the same rewards at the end of the quest regardless of your choice.

However, if you managed to get the ring, you can keep it for yourself and lie to Sergeant Yumi that you never got it. The engagement ring has a value of 655 Credits and can be sold to any vendor.
