NovelStartChapter 1035 Chapter 1035: "You've signed your death warrant," Kellan growled, stepping forward. But before he could act, Allison placed a steadying hand on his arm. Her voice was as measured as her movements. "If you're so certain, then you must know exactly what I was stealing." Barton cast a nervous glance toward Nova, then pointed at Kellan.
"It... it was the snake-shaped necklace," he blurted.
His tongue darted out to wet his dry lips, and beads of sweat dripped down his back.

"Ms. Clarke, could it really be true? Do you have the necklace in your possession?"
