Chapter 145


    On the next day, she was nning to hit up a jewelry shop to get the lowdown on this emerald pendant


    and who it really belongs to. Eight in the morning the next day.


    Thssa rolled out of bed, put on some clothes, and freshened up.


    Even though the vi was brand new, all the furniture had been set up already, bed and bedding


    included. Their old furniture and daily necessities had all been put in their ces, doing their thing.


    Thssa’s bed and bedding were still the same as before, but the room’s walls had gone from being


    old and shabby to sturdy white


    ones.


    Last night felt both familiar and strange, but all in all, she slept like a log.


    Last night, Evelyn bunked with Atticus and Dorian in one room, while Astrid shared with Elowen and


    Sophia in another.


    Back in the day, their house only had two rooms, and every time they came home, Thssa and the


    four kids had to squeeze into one bed. It was a tight fit; even turning over on bed was a challenge.


    Here, with more rooms, the kids could sleep better, and she could stretch out more.


    Maybe because it was sofy. Evelyn, Astrid and the kids were still out like a light.


    Thssa peeked into their rooms, saw them all fast asleep, and a smile yed on her lips. She didn’t


    disturb them, quietly shutting the door.


    She was holding the emerald pendant, ready to head to a jewelry appraisal shop in town to find out


    who the real owner was.


    Heading to the front gate, she opened the door and immediately saw two strapping men standing there.


    They were wearing police uniforms, caps and all. Cops!


    Thssa was taken aback, blinked, and said, “Good morning. Who are you looking for?”


    “Is this Thssa’s home?” one of the cops asked officially.


    Thssa nodded, “Yes, it is.”


    “We’re looking for Thssa,” the other cop said.


    A puzzled Thssa replied, “That’s me. What can I do for you?”


    Hearing this, the two cops exchanged a look, then they showed Thssa their badges, “We’re the


    police from Hollowbrook. We received


    a report that you’ve been stealing. We need you toe with us to the station.”


    “Stealing? Are you sure you’ve got the right person?” Thssa’s eyes nearly popped out of her head.


    The cop spotted the emerald pendant in her hand, and said, “Hand over what you’ve got there.”


    Thssa handed over the pendant.


    One cop took a look, and said, “This emerald pendant is what you stole.”


    Caught red-handed!


    The other cop immediately pped the handcuffs on Thssa and put her in the cop car.


    Thssa felt wronged, panicked and at a loss.


    The cop car drove off with her.


    The early risers in the vige were stunned to see Thssa being taken away by the police.


    All of them were guessing that Thssa was able to build such a big vi in such a short time because


    she had been breaking thew, stealing stuff, and that’s how she got rich quick.


    And she had the nerve to im that it was a model home built for her by a developer. She hadn’t told a

    single truth.


    As the police drove off, Greta was telling the onlookers how terrible Thssa was.


    At the police station, Thssa was being questioned.


    She tried to exin, “I didn’t steal this emerald pendant. I bought it for three hundred bucks. I have the


    transfer record, you can check.” She showed the transfer record with Greta to the police.


    The cop said, “This emerald pendant is real and worth twelve hundred dors. You couldn’t have


    bought it for three hundred. Plus, each emerald pendant has a certificate. If you bought it, where’s your


    certificate?”
