Chapter 61 Mystery Of The Heirloom Blue Topaz

• Jane also found a blue topaz diamond pendant, rarely seen and always valuable due to its scarcity. The diamonds encrusting the pendant only highlighted its worth. Since Mallory and her mother were destitute, no one thought to steal from them, making it all the more extraordinary that such a valuable pendant lay undisturbed here.
• The photos and pendant made Jane suspect there was more to Mallory's mother than met the eye. She was puzzled, too. Why, when they were so desperate that Mallory was almost driven to sell herself, wouldn't her mother sell the precious pendant? Just selling it could save them from the indignity of their current struggles.
• Sighing in the dim room, Jane decided these questions would have to wait until she had a chance to speak with Mallory's mother. Every family has its own burdens, and perhaps there was a significant secret hidden within that pendant related to the mother and daughter.
