Chapter 1145

Curtis felt vexed for a while. When he considered the tense relationship between Lena and Anthony, he decided not to mention that Lena was the one who asked for the investigation. Instead, he lied, "I found this on the road. It looked quite exquisite, so I wanted to ask if any of you have seen it before."

Anthony explained, "That item belongs to the Emeria royal family."

Curtis was surprised. "Items from Emeria royalty?"

"Yes. Whenever a child is born into the royal family, they are given a personalized golden pendant that symbolizes their status after they are named.

"I just took a look at the initials on your golden pendant. It's from Yelena Evans. That child passed away just two months after being born.

"But when someone passes away, their golden pendant is usually destroyed. How did you manage to find that golden pendant?"

Curtis continued to deflect, saying, "How am I supposed to know whose it is? Maybe someone thought it was valuable and then it somehow ended up here?"
