The Billionaire’s Secret Quartet (Thalassa and Elowen)

Chapter 1356
Susan stood next to Lucy, disbelief etched across her face. She had ceased any
attempt to stop Lucy from touching Bruce, but Lucy's words had shocked her to
the core, sending tremors through her body and draining the color from her
cheeks.
Lucy wasn't afraid of catching whatever had taken Bruce. She wasn't afraid of
dying at all. Susan had thought that once Bruce was gone, her mother would
finally be free. No more walking on eggshells every day, no fear of Bruce's
infidelity, of his nights out on the town.
She had dreamed of a life where she could spread her wings with her mom, live
on their own terms. Yet, her mom was declaring she wanted to join Bruce in
death!
Susan didn’t look at Bruce's lifeless body. Her gaze was fixed on her tear-
streaked mother. The words that Lucy said left her reeling, pale-faced and numb.
Watching her mother weep, Susan felt a well of despair deep inside her. She had
never felt loved, not truly, in this house.
Her father had been a philanderer, charming various women, playing with their
hearts and pocketbooks. To him, money was the be-all and end-all.
And her mother? She only had eyes for her father. Any affection Susan received
was simply because she was Bruce's daughter.
If she didn’t carry Bruce's blood, Susan doubted Lucy would care at all.
Her childhood was a cacophony of endless quarrels. She was sick of it; their
fights sent her trembling, locking herself away in her room.
But they never cared. Beyond their own squabbles, Susan was an afterthought.
Each time she shut herself away because of their fights, it was she who had to
soothe her own discomfort and fear.
As she grew, their apparent concern was a facade. They just wanted her to be a
money-making machine, to charm wealthy men and to line their pockets. They
had never truly cared for her.
The incident with the two hundred and fifteen thousand was a case in point.
They were quick to gamble it away in the stock market, never sparing a thought
for how hard she'd worked for it, or what she had endured to get it.
When she came home that day, exhausted and downcast, they didn't notice at
tall. They just wanted the money, and when they got it, they rushed to invest it.
And when that money-earned through her own sacrifices-was lost, they didn't
reflect. They just became more greedy, more desperate to push her towards
Lysander’s bed.
