Chapter 448
Thalassa lowered her gaze to the pendant hanging around her neck, murmuring, “This was a gift from
Lysander. Leopold Sinclair said it’s worth tens of millions.”
When Lysander had presented her with the necklace, he warned her never to remove it, threatening
he’d teach her a lesson if she ever did. So she was forced to keep it on, never daring to remove it even
when taking a shower.
“What? Worth tens of millions?” Hertha’s eyes literally bulged out in shock; she stared at the necklace
as if it was made of pure gold.
Hertha was filled with curiosity, looking like a small-town girl in a big city for the first time.
“That’s so expensive! What kind of fine jewelry is it? Can I take a look?” Hertha asked, scooting closer
to Thalassa.

movements were awkward and clumsy due to her unfamiliarity with such jewelry.
Unable to contain her curiosity any longer, Hertha moved in to help Thalassa remove the necklace.
Once it was off, she held the necklace up to the light, letting the pendant dangle as she admired it.
Bathed in sunlight streaming through the window, the necklace sparkled brilliantly. The diamonds
encrusted around the cloud-shaped pendant emitted a dazzling, radiant light. It was both blinding and
sparking, a symbol of wealth and prestige.
“I can see how good the stuff is. It’s nothing like a common gadget. My eyes are almost blinded by its
brilliance, Hertha exclaimed, entranced by the necklace.
Thalassa chuckled, “Seriously? It feels just like any other common necklace to me.”
“Have you ever worn a common necklace?” Hertha asked her.
Thalassa shook her head.
“That’s what I thought. You’ve been wearing high-end stuff from the get-go. You think all necklaces feel
like this, but that’s not the case. A necklace worth tens of millions is definitely different from an ordinary
one,” Hertha explained, sounding quite knowledgeable.
Thalassa asked, “How is it different?”
“How is it different?” Hertha blinked; she didn’t know the answer to this, “I’ll take a look.”
She held up the necklace, examining it from all angles. Apart from its brilliance and superior texture,
she couldn’t find anything else that stood out.
“The materials are different. They are more luxurious. The diamonds encrusted around this pendant
alone are worth a fortune,” she concluded.
Thalassa pretended not to notice Hertha’s bluffing and nodded in agreement, “Oh, I see.”
“Huh!” Hertha suddenly sounded surprised as if she had discovered something new.
“What’s wrong?” Thalassa asked.

at the pendant in awe.
“You must be seeing things.” Thalassa said.
“No, I’m not. Come over here and look from my angle,” Hertha insisted, pulling Thalassa closer and
pointing at the pendant, “See, isn’t there a bluish hue where the sunlight passes through the center of
the pendant?”
Thalassa looked closely at where Hertha was pointing. At first, she didn’t notice anything, but after a
moment of careful observation, she too noticed the blue light. It wasn’t just the sunlight refracting off the
diamonds, it seemed like the light was emanating from within the pendant itself.
The pendant was both radiant and mysterious.
Thalassa’s expression turned serious, “This blue light doesn’t seem to be just the refraction of the
sunlight on the diamonds. Maybe something inside the pendant is emitting light…”
“Exactly, otherwise the light wouldn’t be so transparent…” Hertha agreed, continuing to scrutinize the
pendant.
