The Billionaire’s Secret Quartet novel Chapter 15

"He once gave me an emerald pendant. I should be able to track him down through this pendant, but I lost it five years ago. I have no clues, so how am I supposed to find him?" Thalassa spilled her guts to Hertha. Between them, there were no secrets.

"Do you remember what the pendant looked like?" Hertha asked.

"I have a vague memory, but I can't recall the details." It had been so many years, and she was so upset and angry back then, she didn't pay much attention to the pendant. How could she remember it clearly?

"Why don't you try to draw the pendan? Let me see." Hertha suggested. Being a jewelry designer, she might be able to help.

Dipping her finger in water, Thalassa drew the shape of the pendant on the table - it was shaped like a cloud.

Hertha scratched her head and stumped. "Seems like I'm out of my depth here, I have no idea where to find this pendant."

At that moment, the four kids saw the pendant's shape on the table. They quickly retreated to their rooms.

Atticus grabbed his tablet and started to operate it quickly, the screen filled with images of emerald pendants shaped like clouds.

Sharp-eyed Sophia pointed at one of them: "This one was once a royal collection. The rest are modern knock-offs."

Sophia had a knack for studying jewelry and antiques. She could tell real from fake just by looking at a picture. She was a whiz at this.

Thalassa made sure to educate her children well. In their free time, she often took them to the bookstore to read and learn. The kids would always find their favorite books to read. Thalassa thought they were reading fairy tales, so she didn't interfere much. But in reality, the books they were reading had nothing to do with fairy tales.

Hearing Sophia's remark, Atticus quickly did a search on the emerald pendant. Soon, he had all the details about the pendant's origin and history.

The pendant was indeed part of the royal collection and then ended up with the Sinclair family, becoming their heirloom.

The Sinclair family!

"Lysander!" Atticus exclaimed, his young voice filled with surprise. That was the man their mother had offended.

"Is he our father?" Elowen asked softly.

Sophia shook her head, "Not sure, if the pendant we found isn't the one mom had, we may be barking up the wrong tree."

"Right, if the pendant dad gave mom was just a regular emerald pendant with his name or special marking on it, we might be on the wrong track." Dorian, usually a crybaby, was now stroking his chin thoughtfully, looking all serious.

"The only way is to find Lysander and ask him if he's our dad." Atticus was always the one to come up with solutions when they disagreed.

"Okay, good idea." Dorian agreed.

Just then, the door was pushed open and Thalassa walked in. Atticus quickly closed the tablet and put it on the bed, feigning innocence. Thalassa saw it and laughed, "Atticus, you're still young. You can't play electronic games with your siblings. It's bad for your eyes."

"Mom, I won't play anymore." Atticus replied obediently.

Each time he used the tablet to research, Thalassa thought he was playing games. He once explained that he was doing something important, but she just laughed, saying what important things could a kid do with a tablet?
