The Billionaire’s Secret Quartet novel Chapter 165

Isabella's hand was flat on the icy marble floor, her tears instantly pouring out as she stared fearfully at Lysander, not daring to utter a single word.

She was afraid that saying an extra word would piss off Lysander and make her fate even worse than Faye’s.

Lysander lit a cigarette, took a deep puff, the smoke lingering around him. He spoke in a low and indifferent voice, "Do you have the emerald pendant?"

Isabella trembled violently, her terror absolute. Tears and snot mixed together as she stuttered, "It's... it's at my place, that emerald pendant... I found it..."

That year, she eavesdropped on Faye’s call and found out about Lysander and Thalassa's one-night stand. He had given Thalassa a token, which could be used to find him.

She found the pendant in the ruins before Thalassa could and hid it.

For the past five years, she used the pendant to extort money from Faye.

If Faye didn’t pay up, she would give the pendant to Lysander and spill the beans about what happened that year.

Fearing exposure, Faye could only pay her off.

That emerald pendant was like her treasure map, and she treasured it dearly.

She made a fake emerald pendant, planning to let Thalassa use it to find Lysander and make Lysander think Thalassa had tricked him.

The fake emerald pendant was made to look like the real one.

"Since you're so dirty, there's no use keeping your limbs. Might as well just waste them." Lysander’s voice was cold and domineering.

As soon as he finished speaking, the bodyguard walked towards Isabella.

Isabella understood what Lysander meant. He was going to ruin her hands and feet.

Seeing the bodyguard walk towards her with firm steps, like a grim reaper from hell, she was petrified, her heart pounding, she cried out, "Mr. Sinclair, I was wrong. I'll return the emerald pendant to you right away. I won't do it again. Please, spare me for the sake of me being Thalassa's cousin, who grew up with her... Ah!"
