Chapter 507
The video was silent. It was only showing the visuals; no sound was heard.
A girl, dressed as a boy, stood outside a toy shop, not leaving. Eventually, the shopkeeper picked up a circular pendant and handed it to the little girl. Thalassa paid for it.
That pendant toy was exactly the circular pendant!
So did Thalassa buy the other pendant in the shop as a toy?
Was this the reason she transferred $200,000 to the shop owner?
If so, she could have easily told him this and cleared her name of theft allegations.
Why didn’t she explain?
The four kids were clearly Hertha’s, and one of the kids wanted that pendant. That made the whole thing more suspicious.
Even if they discovered that the pendant was real, Hertha should just transfer Thalassa the counter price, which was a few bucks.
Or perhaps they could split it half and half as besties.
Why would Hertha transfer all the money to Thalassa without keeping a cent for herself?
That pendant was something Hertha’s daughter wanted. And the little girl insisted on buying it.
Otherwise, Thalassa would never have had the opportunity to buy the pendant, let alone make 200,000 bucks.
All these suspicious points added up.
Only one explanation would make sense: Thalassa was the children’s biological mother!
Thinking of this, Lysander squinted his eyes; he exuded an aura of danger and coldness.
Fitch was so scared by his powerful presence and deep gaze that his legs turned to jelly.
Vibrant Oasis Residences.
Thalassa was asking Evelyn about the scammer when her phone suddenly rang.
This number was unfamiliar.
Thalassa was going to ignore it, but after some hesitation, she decided to answer.
‘Ms. Everhart, this is Fitch, the butler at Royal Estates.” The voice of a middle-aged man came over the phone.
Thalassa tensed up as she heard his name.
Anyone associated with Royal Estates was linked to Lysander.
Now, whenever she heard anything about Lysander, her heart would tighten with fear.
His ferocity and insatiable needs were so terrifying this morning.
“Fitch, what’s up?” Thalassa asked carefully.
Fitch’s voice trembled slightly, “Ms. Everhart, while I was cleaning today, I found another pendant. Now there are two at Royal Estates. I told Lysander about this. We misunderstood you earlier…”
Thalassa’s heart skipped a beat; her heart jumped to her throat.
She was done for!
Once Lysander knew about the pendant, he would surely become suspicious and link it to the toy shop owner.
With his shrewdness, he would definitely guess the truth.
She nervously asked, “What was Lysander’s reaction?”
“He didn’t look too good; he left with a stern face. I thought I should let you know about our misconception. If Lysander comes looking for you, you should be prepared. Fitch said.
Fitch felt somewhat guilty because his work mistake had led to the misunderstanding about Thalassa.
Moreover, after he told Lysander about this, Lysander left looking rather unhappy. He was worried that Thalassa would be implicated because of this.
He took it upon himself to call Thalassa and let her know so she could think of a way to deal with it in advance.
“I understand; thank you, Fitch.” Thalassa hung up the phone, her heart pounding wildly. She was a cat on hot bricks.
“Mom, pack some luggage now; we’re leaving!” Thalassa said nervously, all in a fluster.
