Skylar observed Ursula’s subtle expressions, noting every change in her demeanor.

Vera couldn’t hold back her confusion as they stepped out of the villa. She asked, “Is there something wrong with that necklace?”

Skylar’s response was direct. “What’s the relationship between that maid and the one who fell down the stairs and died?”

Vera was caught off guard by the question. “They’re mother and daughter.”

Hearing this, Skylar’s expression became more serious. She nodded slowly. “Then that makes

sense.”

But Vera was even more confused and wondered what Skylar meant. What did her family’s situation have to do with the maid?

Seeing the look of puzzlement on Vera’s face, Skylar didn’t explain further. “We don’t need to go to your uncle’s house just yet. Let’s find somewhere we can talk.”

Vera had a nagging feeling that things were far more complicated than they seemed. Doubts filled her mind as she pointed to a path nearby. “If we head down this way, there’s an artificial lake. It’s usually deserted and very quiet.”

“That’ll do.” Skylar agreed.
