The Billionaire’s Secret Quartet (Thalassa and Elowen)

Chapter 492
Thalassa spent the afternoon at the Vibrant Oasis Residences with the kids.
After dinner, Hertha decided to leave. Thalassa knew she should go too.
She had run into Lysander today at the mall. His icy aura and brooding manner both lingered in her mind, refusing to fade.
She had worn her necklace when she went to the mall.
Being with Hertha, she decided to return to the Vibrant Oasis Residences.
If Lysander checked her location and saw she was at the Vibrant Oasis Residences, he would assume she was visiting her best
friend and wouldn’t suspect anything.
But if she didn’t return home by nightfall, Lysander would certainly be upset.
What if he came looking for her? Thalassa didn’t dare to think further.
She decided to return to her rented apartment for safety reasons.
Evelyn tucked the kids in for the night.
After the kids were asleep, Evelyn tossed and turned, unable to sleep.
Hertha had told her that Thalassa had given the $200,000 from the sale of the circular pendant to the toy store owner. Evelyn
was livid as she thought about that.
The $200,000 would have been a life board for their struggling family if Thalassa didn’t hand it over directly to the toy shop
owner. She claimed that the circular pendant was found by the owner’s child on the beach. Now that the child was sick and in
need of money, so she should give the sum back to them.
Thalassa told her that the owner promised to pay back later.
What a naive girl! Who would give back money they’ve already received?
While Evelyn acknowledged that it was right to help others in need, she still felt a sting.

Why did she have to have such a naive, kind-hearted daughter?
The more she thought about it, the more frustrated she became.
The next morning, Evelyn, with dark circles under her eyes, the four kids up and ready.
She opened the closet to find clothes for the kids. She noticed a drawer in the closet and out of curiosity, she opened it.
Inside, there was nothing but a dragon pendant. It had a cloud-like exterior with dragon carvings.
The dragon pendant looked translucent and glossy. Could it be real?
Evelyn took the dragon pendant and walked over to Sophia, asking, “Sophia, you know antiques. Tell Grandma, is this real or
fake?”
Sophia, still sleepy-eyed, looked at the dragon pendant, examined it carefully, and said in her soft, sweet voice, “Grandma, it’s
real. It’s an antique.”
“Really?” Evelyn’s eyes lit up. She was frustrated by the fact that Thalassa gave the $200,000, the money she made from selling
the pendant, back to the shop owner. But now her mood lightened up.
Her voice was filled with joy, “Then can you tell Grandma how much is this dragon pendant worth?”
Sophia shook her head innocently, “Grandma, I don’t know.”
Sophia could identify antiques, but she had no concept of their value.
“Grandma, this belongs to Mommy. You can’t sell it,” Dorian climbed over and reminded Evelyn.
“I know, don’t worry,” Evelyn glanced at Dorian and put the dragon pendant back where it was.
“Hurry up and get ready, we need to go to kindergarten. You’re going to be late,” Evelyn urged.
