Chapter 500
Thalassa drew a sharp breath at Richard’s revelation.
Her breath hitched, her heart pounding like a hammer against a wooden door, each beat vibrating with tension.
This dragon pendant was a gift from Lysander. It was a token of affection she had lost five years ago, which Lysander later retrieved from Isabella.
He didn’t keep it for himself but gave it back to her. For all the time, she always kept the dragon pendant at home.
After moving, she placed the dragon pendant in her closet.
How could someone have sold it?
Thalassa felt both anxious and puzzled.
She glanced at Richard, then at Lysander. His aura was ice cold; his handsome face was turning into an ice sculpture.
“Who sold it?” Lysander’s voice was as sharp as ice.

That look almost made Thalassa’s heart stop in fear.
She held her breath, watching Richard, hoping it was simply a replica, not the original one in her possession.
Richard took out his phone, opened a photo, and held it up for Lysander to see, “It was this woman. She just sold it at our shop. I gave her three million dollars.”
Thalassa saw Lysander’s face grew colder after looking at the phone screen; his eyes narrowed with flames of anger.
In horror, Thalassa glanced at the phone in Richard’s hand.
At first glance, she recognized the woman in the photo-it was her mother, Evelyn!
Her mother, Evelyn, had sold the dragon pendant Lysander had given her for three million dollars!
Lysander knew her mother because he had once helped her when she was being harassed by Bruce.
Evelyn sold the dragon pendant that Lysander gave her, which meant she did it at her daughter’s behest.
Thalassa’s breath hitched and her heart almost stopped.
She was so frightened that she was frozen in place. Her wide eyes were staring blankly, her body immobile.
Lysander snatched the dragon pendant from Richard, took out his phone, and dialed David, “Send Richard thirty million.”
After hanging up, he glanced at Richard with his deep-set eyes, “I have some personal matters to attend to. I’ll invite you to dinner another day.”

Richard looked at Lysander, then at Thalassa, understanding the urgency of his matters.
With a smile on his lips, he said, “I’ll go first.”
Then he turned and left the office.
Trading three million for thirty million was a fantastic deal!
Thalassa wished she could leave with Richard, but she couldn’t move an inch faced with Lysander’s intimidating presence.
She was on the verge of diffusing Lysander’s anger when Richard dropped this bombshell.
Lysander’s gaze was cold and sharp as he stepped closer to her, “Is there anything else you want to say?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHe leaned in with a dangerous icy aura emanating from his body, Thalassa struggled to step back, trying to distance herself from him. Her clear eyes were filled with fear, “I…”
She couldn’t utter a word. Because she didn’t know how this happened.
Why had her mother suddenly sold her dragon pendant?
“Can’t come up with an excuse, huh?” Lysander’s voice was elongated, filled with infinite danger.
Thalassa stepped back to brace a coffee table, her body leaning back.
Suddenly, he extended his long, firm arms to cup her waist and pulled her back. It almost snapped her from the middle.
There was a stormy look on his handsome face. “You’ve disappointed me so much! Do you know what’s waiting for you?” He asked.
“I, um…” Thalassa was about to say something when her lips were sealed.
Winced in pain, she was trying to push him away.
He grabbed her hand, pinning her onto the coffee table. His absolute power and control left her with no chance to resist.
He was like an enraged beast devouring her in his fury, looking wild and terrifying.
