Chapter 5

Vicious and evil?

Janet let out a snort and stared coldly at Daran and Harper.

Casper was attracted over by their earlier arguments and was now just in time to hear Daran’s latest words.

With a furious look on his face, Casper stepped forward and was about to snap.

Harper widened her eyes as panic fleeted across her eyes.

“I–I didn’t target it at you!” Harper cried urgently. “I just thought…since it was you who took the necklace out of the safe, you must have it with you when we were kidnapped. Those rogues must not have noticed the necklace-”

Daran’s face turned dark instantly.

Faced by Janet’s question, Harper stuttered nervously:

“W–What do you mean? I don’t understand…”
