Chapter 144
“So why didn’t you just tell me straight up instead of having Greta pretend to find it and give it to me?”
Thalassa’s pretty eyes studied Isabella carefully.
Isabella was always sneaky, full of bad intentions.
Thalassa wasn’t about to trust her easily.
A flicker of confusion passed through Isabella’s eyes, but she quickly regained her composure, painting
on a smile and saying, “I thought you might be too stubborn to accept it, so I came up with this Idea.
Since you’ve paid Greta, the emerald pendant is yours now. Take it.”
With that, she turned and climbed the stairs, not wanting to engage with Thalassa any further.
She feared that the more she talked, the more likely she’d slip up.
Lysander actually built a mansion for Thalassa that was more luxurious than her own house!
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIsabella was green with envy.
Her house used to be the most luxurious and noticeable in the village.
Being the local rich gal, she always strutted around with her nose in the air, full of herself because she
had the best house.
Then, Lysander built this gorgeous and lavish mansion for Thalassa, instantly stealing her limelight.
It was like going from heaven to hell in a snap. How could Isabella stand it?
She was determined to make Thalassa fall from grace in Lysander’s eyes, to make her a liar. That way,
Lysander would be furious and perhaps take back the mansion he gave to Thalassa, leaving her and
her family homeless.
After much thought, she made a fake emerald pendant, had Greta pretend to find it and return it to
Thalassa, so Thalassa could find Lysander through the pendant.
Once Lysander saw the pendant, he’d know right away it was a fake.
Also, Lysander firmly believed that the woman he slept with that night was Celia.
Thalassa was Celia’s cousin. It wasn’t unusual that she had seen Celia’s emerald pendant. But she
made a fake one to trick Lysander, pretending to be the woman from that night.
For a man like Lysander people usually bent over backwards to show their loyalty.
How could he tolerate being deceived?
Especially, this was something he cared about deeply and couldn’t stop thinking about. If he was
deceived by Thalassa, he’d be livid, thinking Thalassa was a fraud, impersonating her cousin for
money, claiming she was the woman he spent the night with.
As long as Thalassa insisted the pendant was real while Lysander saw it was fake, he’d definitely think
Thalassa was trying to trick him! He would hate Thalassa to the core and take back everything he gave
to Thalassa in memory of Celia!
But to her surprise, Thalassa’s child saw through the fake pendant right away.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHer plan fell flat.
But that was okay, even though this plan failed, she had another one up her sleeve.
Watch your back, Thalassa!
As Isabella ascended the stairs, a sinister gleam flashed in her eyes.
Meanwhile, Thalassa held the emerald pendant, staring at it in silence.
Then it dawned on her.
Yes, she couldn’t find the real emerald pendant, but she could totally use a fake one to find that man.
After all, all she needed to know was who the owner of the emerald pendant was, right?
The man told her to find him with the pendant because it was distinctive and she could find him through
it.
It took her five years to realize that she could make an identical pendant to find him, she was so thick.
Thalassa lightly slapped her forehead, then took the pendant and left.
Isabella said, since Thalassa had paid Greta, the pendant was hers.
She would consider it as if she had bought the pendant.
