Chapter 463
What was the count again?
An income of two hundred thousand!
And the text message had arrived only yesterday afternoon!
Thalassa was so shocked her heart nearly stopped!
She hadn’t checked her phone for a few days and even missed the bank’s notification.
She even used this as proof to convince Lysander.
She didn’t know she was actually screwing herself.
What in the world was happening?
Why had two hundred thousand been credited to her phone?
And why had Hertha sold that circular pendant?
These past few days, in order to prevent Lysander from spying on her, she had stayed in her previous rented house, nursing her
wounds.
Meanwhile, Hertha often took care of the four children on her behalf.
She had no idea what had transpired in the past few days.
Confused, Thalassa was staring in disbelief at the two hundred thousand credit in her account.
She was now in a real pickle.
She felt like she was on her last legs, her hand falling limply by her side, her face ashen.
Out of the corner of her eye, she saw the circular pendant lying on the dining table; something dawned on her.
She suddenly remembered why the circular pendant seemed so familiar.
Wasn’t this the toy pendant Sophia had spotted at the entrance of a toy store when they had gone to the mall?
Sophia had fallen in love with it at first sight, refusing to leave the store.
Left with no choice, Thalassa had negotiated with the store owner to buy it off her. The pendant was not part of the store’s
inventory; it was a toy her son had found on the beach. She wasn’t willing to sell at first, but Sophia was insistent.
Moreover, Thalassa had offered an inflated price, more than a hundred dollars.
The store owner finally agreed to sell the pendant.
Sophia cherished the pendant dearly.
Later on, she found an identical pendant in Lysander’s antique room.
Everything suddenly fell into place for Thalassa. The pendant Hertha had sold must have been Sophia’s toy pendant!
Realizing this, Thalassa looked up at Lysander’s intimidating gaze and explained, “The pendant Hertha had is a toy pendant;
your curios shop must have mistaken it for a real one. Richard chuckled, “Even if our shopkeeper made a mistake in his
evaluation, the pendant is right here. Do you think Lysander would also mistake it?”
Thalassa was at a loss for words.
Indeed, even if the curios shopkeeper had confused the toy with a real artifact, Lysander had the pendant right in front of his
eyes. Would he make the same mistake?
What was going on?
Maybe the pendant Sophia had bought was also real? That was too much of a coincidence..
Thalassa’s gaze dimmed; she was at a loss for words.
She couldn’t explain.
She certainly couldn’t reveal where the toy pendant originally came from, otherwise, Lysander would verify it; he would check the
surveillance.
Then he would find out that she was with the four children that day, and they were all calling her ‘mom’.
