As Elena offered to help, Emma’s heart sank again. She and Elena didn’t interact much, and it was tough to figure out what Elena was thinking.

Emma started to panic. ‘Elena has been backing Elysia all day. If she finds the necklace on me, she’ll expose me without a second thought. What can I do now?”
