Sylvia's POV:

When Rufus took out the pendant, his expression changed dramatically. "Noreen's scent is on it."

"What?! How?" Leonard's eyes also went as wide as saucers. When Leonard came, we told him about the black witch. We didn't hide it from him anymore. So now he knew that our other purpose of coming here was to find Noreen and save Blair.

"Geoffrey never mentioned this pendant before. It seems that he's still hiding something from us," Rufus said coldly as he eyed the pendant in his hand.

Rufus and Leonard proceeded to discuss the potential origin of the pendant. I stood quietly aside without saying anything, but my heart was secretly in turmoil.

I remembered clear as day that my mother wore the exact same pendant when I was a child. One day, I accidentally knocked the pendant against the staircase, leaving a small chip on its corner.

The pendant Rufus was holding now had the exact same chip. That could only mean that they were one and the same pendant!

This whole time, I thought that the pendant was cremated with my mother's body. Why would it appear here for no reason? And it carried the scent of Noreen, too...
