Lucas Griffin squinted thoughtfully, furrowing his brow, and said coldly, "I need to check the jade pendant!"
Upon hearing this, Jack clutched the jade pendant hanging around his neck tightly, with a stubborn expression that showed he was unwilling to part with it under any circumstances.
The atmosphere inside the room grew even more tense.
Ethan Jenkins was the first to compromise. He looked at Jack and said, "Let him check it."
Jack shook his head, finally speaking, "You told me along with grandpa to always keep it with me and never leave it for a moment."
"It's because this is the only thing your parents left you, we only said that because we hoped you would cherish it. But now the situation is special," Ethan Jenkins gently patted Jack's shoulder, "Let him check it."
Jack frowned deeply, glaring at Lucas Griffin, and for the first time defended himself, "I'm not the mole, why should he check it!"
Ethan Jenkins swallowed his words.
