Chloe blinked.

Jo snorted.

I put the card in my pocket.

Honestly, I didn’t think Chloe would even need to use the damn thing knowing Lei’s aunts I was sure they’d already bought all my sisters a full wardrobe of designer items.

Speaking of the aunts. . .

I checked the back of Lotus Blossom and spotted over twenty of Lei’s men forming a small boundary line in front of the aunts.

Currently, they were smiling and watching us from afar.

I bet they can’t wait to meet the girls.

No doubt Lei had ordered them to stay back so he could give out his gifts and we could get off this helipad.

As far as I’m concerned, we’d been standing out her for several weeks.

Lei grabbed my attention. “And now TT.”

I let out a long breath and turned to her.

To my surprise, TT had been checking out the cat in Dima’s hand instead of focused on Chloe and my arguing.

But when TT heard her name, she gazed up at Lei.

He gave her a sad smile. “I must say, your gift is not as. . .extravagantas your sisters’ gifts.”

She smiled. “That’s fine.”

“But according to Moni, you’re interested in the Crownsville Bandit.”

TT’s breath hitched. “Yes. I am.”

To my shock, Rose stepped forward utterly intrigued and I couldn’t help but wonder if she had been doing some research on the topic as a reporter.

It wouldn’t be surprising. Many journalists spent their lives on the Crownsville Bandit and the supposed hidden treasure.

Lei gestured to the men by the huge container and two of them disappeared inside.

Alright. This will be interesting. What is he going to give her that deals with the Crownsville Bandit?

Moments later, the men emerged, carrying a large blue trunk between them. The trunk looked old, weathered, as if it held secrets from another time.

O-kay. A trunk, but full of what?

As the men brought the trunk over, Lei turned to TT with a curious expression. “I have a weird question for you, TT.”

She pursed her lips.

He leaned forward. “Do you believe in ghosts?”

TT straightened and her gaze went serious as she considered the question. “Yes, I do, but not in the way most people think.”

“Can you explain?”

“I think ghosts are the remains of energy. Memories that get trapped in places where something significant happened.”
