Chapter 469

Stanley watched her quietly, his gaze steady and unyielding "I don't want to hear anything else right now. I just want to know where that crystal pendant is."

Jessica stiffened, her heart sinking "Lying to you? What do you mean?"

Stanley's eyes narrowed as his voice grew more intense. "It possible that the girl who saved me all those years ago wasn't you, but someone else? You haven't been lying to me all this time, pretending to be her, have you?"

His eyes bore into hers with a chilling calmness, making Jesica feel an icy shiver crawl up her spine. Stanley had never looked at her like this before.

Stanley's face remained expressionless, but the silence only deepened her unease. She had no idea how much he knew or suspected.
