Chapter 490


    The man was tall and handsome, a stunning disy of masculine beauty that exuded an aura of dignity


    and power.


    A true heart-stopper in one single nce.


    It was Lysander!


    Thssa’s heart missed a beat. Then, her body tensed up in an instinctual manner.


    Seeing his gaze on her hand, she followed his line of sight and realized that she was still shaking


    hands with the shop owner, having forgotten to let go.


    She quickly released her grip, cing her hand behind her in a gesture of unease.


    Just shaking her hand with someone else was enough to vex him. It seemed so.


    “Mr. Sinir, fancy seeing you in the mall,” Thssa managed to force a smile, greeting him with a


    nod.


    But unbeknownst to her, her nervousness had made her smile appear awkward/


    “Quite a coincidence,” Lysander responded, his voice deep and maic.


    The stall owner turned around, and upon seeing the imposing figure of Lysander, she felt a wave of


    fear.

    He was undeniably attractive and carried an air of authority, clearly someone of significance.


    Although she was in awe of his good looks and wished to steal another nce, she didn’t dare offend


    him. She nervously thanked Thssa, “Thank you, dear. Once I reopen, you muste visit. I’ll repay


    you then.”


    Thssa was still feeling tense; she simply nodded in response,cking the energy to engage in


    further conversation.


    With a mixture of gratitude towards Thssa and fear of Lysander’s authority, the shop owner left the


    mall with her head bowed.


    Lysander’s deep gaze fell on Thssa, “Robin Hood?”


    Thssa was taken aback for a moment for she failed to grasp the meaning behind his words first.


    But after a second, it clicked.


    By implying that she was Robin Hood, Lysander was suggesting that she had stolen his circr


    pendant and sold it to aid the less fortunate.


    It seemed that he had only heard the owner thankful for the $20,000, but not the part about the pendant


    being sold.


    Relieved that he hadn’t heard the full story, Thssa was about to respond when Hertha, who was


    unhappy with Lysander’sment, interjected, “Mr. Sinir, Thssa’s $20,000 came from her


    investment of…”


    “Yes, I sold the pendant and gave the money to the shop owner to help her son,” Thssa hastily


    interrupted Hertha.


    She hadn’t had the chance to tell Hertha that Lysander had lost a same pendant and suspected her as


    the culprit. Even though she was falsely used, she couldn’t let Lysander investigate the origin of the


    pendant.


    The mall’s surveince was soundless so Lysander wouldn’t hear the children calling her ‘mom’. She


    could exin that she was just taking her friend’s child to the mall.


    However, there was a major loophole.


    If he found out that the pendant was a toy belonging to Sophia Kensington and was sold for $20,000,


    which was then transferred to her own card, what would happen?


    In Lysander’s mind, Sophia was Hertha’s child. Even if her toy was sold, the money should go to


    Hertha. So why was it given to her?


    That was enough to make Lysander suspicious and conduct a thorough investigation,


    Hertha was going to say that Thssa had made an investment of $100 to buy the toy and earned


    $20,000, which was a testament to her abilities. That didn’t make herdy Robin Hood.


    But before she could finish her sentence, she was interrupted by Thssa. She didn’t understand her


    intention so she looked at Thssa with confusion.


    Regardless of her reason, Hertha knew Thssa had her own reason.


    So, sheplied and started to y along.
