“Why… why did you just watch her die?”
When news of Lily’s fall reached him, Jackson nearly lost his mind.
The fury in his eyes burned straight into Simon, his glare filled with hatred.

He was about to step forward and land a few heavy punches when something caught his attention–Elsa’s pendant.
The pattern carved on it was unusual, nearly unique.
And he had seen that pendant before, long ago, in the orphanage.
That pendant belonged to Lily. How could it be hanging around Elsa’s neck?
Back in the orphanage, he and Lily had leaned on each other, sharing everything.
He knew well that this pendant had been given to her by a boy, and she had treasured it deeply.
She would never, ever give it to Elsa–the person she despised most.
Jackson’s expression darkened. He grabbed the pendant and demanded in a sharp voice, “This
my sister’s pendant. Why is it on you?”

“I don’t know what you’re talking about. This is mine,” Elsa snapped, her face paling.
She hadn’t expected Jackson to recognize it.
But then she remembered–Lily was dead, beyond all proof. Her confidence returned, her expression cool once more.
Simon’s heart was already bleeding from Lily’s disappearance.
But when he saw Jackson manhandling Elsa, he frowned coldly. “Jackson, what nonsense are you spouting? I gave that pendant to Lizzy. How could it belong to your so–called sister?”
“Lizzy?”
Jackson froze.
Years ago, Lily had once told him her nickname–Lizzy.
How could it be such a coincidence that Elsa also went by Lizzy?

Chapter 615 The Pendant’s Truth
His suspicion flared. He grew desperate to confirm the truth.

“When I was little, I lived in the orphanage with my sister. She wore this pendant every day. I remember–the inside is engraved with the letter L. That proves it’s Lily’s pendant. Don’t twist the truth just to protect Elsa-”
Elsa panicked. She couldn’t let him see the inside engraving.
But how could her strength compare to Jackson’s?
Even as she clutched it with all her might, trying to shield it in her palm, Jackson pried it free from her hands.
Then he saw it–the letter “L” etched inside.
There was no longer any doubt. This was Lily’s pendant.
Lily had always loathed Elsa. She would never let her touch something so precious.
Snarling, Jackson yanked it from Elsa’s neck.
“Ah!”
The cord of the pendant was thick, and the force nearly strangled Elsa, leaving her in tears from the pain.
She staggered forward, trying to snatch it back.
But Jackson held it firm, glaring down at her as though she were nothing more than a maggot crawling in filth.
“You stole this from my sister, didn’t you? Or did you rob her? Answer me!”
“I don’t know what you’re saying. Simon gave it to me. How could it be Lily’s?”
Elsa let a single tear fall, her face full of false purity, like a lily blooming untarnished in the mud.
She sniffled pitifully, adding, “I know Lily resented me deeply, she couldn’t stand to see me happy. I don’t know what lies she fed you, but this pendant has always been mine.”
Failing to reclaim it, she turned to Simon with tears trembling in her lashes. “Simon, I care about this pendant so much because it’s from you. Please… tell him to give it back to me.”
Simon’s brows knitted tight.
He hadn’t expected Jackson to know about the engraving.
