Chapter 449

Then, as if by some uncanny instinct, both of them jerk their heads to look at each other.

Their eyes widen with disbelief and astonishment, as if they had just unearthed a new world.

“No way!”

“No way!”

They both muttered in unison. Their disbelief was palpable.

Then, Hertha placed the necklace on the coffee table for both of them to examine the cloud-shaped pendant.

There seemed to be nothing unusual at first glance until Thalassa fetched Dorian’s magnifying glass to inspect the pendant more closely. That’s when they noticed a tiny seam on the side of the pendant, so tiny it was unnoticeable to the naked eye.

They used a pocket knife to pry open the seam.

The cloud pendant was made from two halves of a cloud, identical on both sides, with diamonds studded all around.

But inside the belly of the cloud, there was a tiny chip flickering with a faint blue light.

This chip, tucked safely inside the belly of the cloud, was virtually undetectable unless viewed under direct sunlight, which would reveal its subtle blue glow.

Upon seeing the flickering blue chip, Thalassa gasped and looked at Hertha, who was just as stunned.

“Just as we thought.”

“Just as we thought.”/

The evidence confirmed their suspicions.

If their guess was right, this chip was a tracking device.

“No wonder Lysander always knew where you were even when you were hiding in the closet. So this is it.” Hertha said.

Thalassa frowned in worry, “I’m afraid it might also be a bug. He could have heard all our conversations with the kids.”

Hertha also felt a chill at that thought.

However, she quickly dismissed it, “It’s probably just a GPS tracker. Otherwise, he would have taken the kids by now. And besides, he only ever comes looking for you, never mentioning the kids.”

Thalassa thought about the situation and nodded.

Lysander was arrogant and domineering. After discovering that she was Bruce’s daughter, he was instantly filled with hatred for her.

Although he had been able to pinpoint her location these days, he had never mentioned the kids.

And he had even made her take a morning-after pill last night.

Lysander probably hadn’t discovered about the kids yet.

While relieved, Thalassa was also worried, “We need to keep renting that house.”

Hertha shared her thought, “Right, after you get off work, go straight back to that house. I’ll keep an eye on the kids.”

Only this way they could avoid arousing suspicion.

If they moved out now, it would only raise more red flags.

Thalassa, feeling both drained and grateful, turned her eyes to Hertha, “Hertha, thanks for everything you did.”

“What are you talking about? I’m their godmother too.” Hertha replied with a smile.

Thalassa hugged her, her voice filled with a mixture of fatigue and affection, “Ah, I’m so thankful to have you as my best friend. What would I do without you?”

“A best friend for life.” Hertha chuckled as she gently patted Thalassa’s back and rested her chin on Thalassa’s shoulder. Through the loose neckline of her dress, she caught a glimpse of a mark on Thalassa’s slender back, Hertha, surprised and a bit curious, asked, “Hey Thalassa, there’s a big hickey on your back. Did Lysander do that to you? It’s like a strawberry Just then, Evelyn opened the door and the kids walked in.

Elowen, the food-lover, heard the word strawberry, her favorite snack, and ran over excitedly. “Hertha, I want some strawberries too.”
