Chapter 148

When Lysander spoke, Thalassa went from feeling innocent to all sorts of tense and jumpy.

If she couldn’t explain things clearly, she might be up the creek without a paddle.

In a nap, she blurted out, “I didn’t swipe this, my neighbor Greta said she found it and was planning to give it back to me. I lost the exact same emerald pendant five years ago, everyone in the neighborhood knew about it. When Greta said she found my missing emerald pendant, I rushed back from Starhaven. I even gave her $300 as gratitude, But I didn’t know this emerald pendant was a phony.”
