Chapter 168


    Thssa was totally gobsmacked. How on earth did the emerald pendant she had been searching for f


    or five years end up in Lysander’s hands?


    She mulled it over, and the only exnation was that Faye must have found the pendant at some point


    and given it to Lysander.


    Thssa chuckled awkwardly, handing the pendant back to Lysander,


    “Mr. Sinir, this is your stuff, you better keep it.”


    Lysander frowned slightly, he was clearly displeased, but his voice was firm, “Once I give something aw


    ay, I never take it back. You keep


    He radiated authority, even without raising his voice.


    Despite his calm demeanor, Thssa couldn’t help but shudder a little.


    Since Lysander insisted, she reluctantly stepped forward to take the pendant.


    Upon closer inspection, the pendant was shaped like a cloud with a domineering dragon carved around


    it. It was so lifelike that it seemed like it was soaring through the clouds.


    Five years ago, when her reputation was tarnished, she only casually nced at the pendant before los


    ing it. She hadn’t really paid attention to the details of the design.


    Eventer, when she


    described the pendant to Hertha, she only remembered the rough shape and design butpletely for

    Suddenly, a thought popped into her head.


    If she herself wasn’t clear about the details of the pendant, how did Isabe manage to create a duplica


    te?


    The fake one was virtually identical to the real one.


    Curious, Thssa asked Lysander, “Mr. Sinir, where did you find this pendant?”


    “Isabe found the pendant.”


    So that was what happened. No wonder Isabe could make an identical fake. She had the real thing t


    o reference.


    After all these years, the pendant Thssa had been searching for had actually been in Isabe’s poss


    ession.


    Not only did Isabe not return the pendant, she made a fake one and had someone else hand it to Th


    ssa, all to frame her for theft!


    That woman was truly cunning.


    The more Thssa thought about it, the angrier she got.


    She had considered Isabe a close friend, but Isabe had treated her like an enemy, scheming again


    st her time and time again..


    “Don’t you like the pendant?” Lysander’s deep, icy voice suddenly shattered the silence as his gaze pie

    rced into her.


    Thssa felt the reproach in his words. She put aside her grudge against Isabe and lifted her eyes to


    meet Lysander’s deep, indifferent gaze as her heart involuntarily pounded.


    His aura was overpowering, making it hard to hold his gaze.


    She, an ordinary girl, was having a hard time handling it.


    After taking a deep breath,


    Thssa suppressed her fear and responded, “Anyone would be mad when something is taken from th


    em by force.”


    Back then, she was both angry and wronged; if the pendant hadn’t been lost, she would


    have taken it to the police long ago.


    Lysander’s gaze unnerved her, and she spoke softly. But he still caught the hint of injustice in her word


    s.


    She was an innocent girl, and he had taken her first time. It was only natural for her to feel upset and w


    ronged.


    “Clear your schedule for tonight.” Lysander suddenly said.


    Thssa was confused, “Mr. Sinir, do we have to work overtime tonight?”


    “We’re meeting the parents.” Lysander stated briefly and clearly.


    Thssa was taken aback, “Meeting the parents?”


    Lysander continued, “I said I’d take responsibility, and I
