Charlene rummaged through her bag and found the emerald pendant within seconds. She had placed it in a small box to prevent it from getting damaged.
"Here it is. Please take a look at it."
Skylar examined it closely. Scenes flashed across her brain. She found out who it belonged to. She caught glimpses of Edwin as the movie played out in her head. His sexual appetite had been growing more voracious and uninhibited as the years passed.
This emerald pendant…
"I'll take a picture of it. Then, send it to the police station. I'll give you three talismans for luck. Bring them with you wherever you go. Only remove them after a month," said Skylar while capturing a picture of the emerald pendant.
Charlene was terrified out of her mind. She nodded, not really processing what Skylar said.
"You've got to stop being greedy. If not, what awaits you will make your experience up till now feel like a walk in the park."
She wouldn't disobey Skylar's instructions for anything.
Charlene regretted disregarding Skylar's advice two days ago. If she'd taken heed of Skylar's warnings, she wouldn't have been in this situation.
After Charlene left, Skylar called Joe. He must have been busy as he didn't pick up.
Thus, she texted, "Will you be coming home tonight? I've got something to tell you. It has to do with your father."
…
Half an hour later, Joe saw her text. He replied, "I'll be going home."
What did she have to say about Edwin?
