Chapter 896 Clark seemed to have stumbled upon something that linked him with Carol, and his heart pounded with excitement.
Arabella suddenly had a thought, "Clark, didn't Carol give you an amulet as well?" Upon hearing that, Clark realized, "You think there might be something hidden in the amulet too?" "There is a chance." Clark instantly pulled out his wallet and retrieved the red, triangular amulet.

The thought that it might be hiding a clue made him brace himself, and he carefully began to unravel the amulet.
Logan and Taylor held their breath, watching his actions closely, and soon, a tiny crescent moon appeared at the very heart of the amulet.
That moon was about the size of a fingertip, made of platinum, and had a strange symbol carved on it.
"Is this a clue Carol left for me?" Clark couldn't believe that Carol had hidden that in the amulet so long ago, and it had taken him all that time to finally find it! If it hadn't been for his sister's reminder, he likely would never have discovered it.
He felt so foolish! "What's the meaning of this tiny moon, what's its purpose?" Taylor couldn't guess, "What message is Carol trying to get across to us." Logan too, was unsure of its purpose, examining it closely in his hand, "If Carol really is involved with some organization, could this symbol be the organization's logo?" "It could certainly be a possibility” Arabella confirmed, "I'll have someone look into it." She took a photo and sent it to Jack, asking him to identify the symbol as quickly as possible.

"I have a suggestion." At Arabella's words, everyone turned to look at her, curious about her new idea.
"| propose we examine everything Carol left behind." "You mean we should even take this scarf apart?" Taylor's tears were welling up, but what could possibly be hidden in a scarf! She had washed it so many times, any clues would have surely been washed away by that point.
"What if we find something new?" Hearing Arabella's suggestion, Taylor thought it over, and finally decided to unravel the scarf to see.
Logan picked up a platinum necklace, "This was the first gift Carol bought for her mother after she started making money. It's made of platinum, there's probably nothing suspicious about it." "Let me see,” Arabella took the heart-shaped platinum necklace, it looked ordinary, but she pulled out a magnifying glass from her bag to see if there was anything written on it.
"Kid, aren't you overthinking; Logan couldn't help saying, "How could there possibly be a clue on this tiny thing." "Have you heard about a news story, a calligrapher who could write characters 3mm tall with a brush, it was called micro-calligraphy:" Arabella explained as she examined the necklace, "Later, another calligrapher broke the record by writing characters only 0.8mm tall, and now there's even smaller writing." Logan was shocked, he'd never imagined such a thing could exist.
