Chapter 1320
Evelyn shivered, her eyes nervously trailing Lysander’s back. Her heart was a
jumbled mess of uncertainty, completely in the dark about what Lysander was
actually thinking.
David didn’t dare to even breathe too loudly either.
He had just returned from a trip to Afriland, and the last thing he needed was to
get caught up in the storm because of whatever Evelyn had stirred up. That
would be utterly unfair to him.
Lysander had always had a mixed feeling for Thalassa. He loved her deeply, but
also hated her because she was the daughter of Bruce.
But now, Evelyn dropped a bombshell — Thalassa isn’t Bruce's daughter!
Even to an outsider like David, this revelation sent a thrill through his veins. As
for Lysander, wouldn’t hearing this news send him over the edge?
But David wasn't sure if Lysander was more excited or enraged by the news.
Thalassa had been playing a dangerous game, keeping this truth from Lysander
all this time.
After years as Lysander’s right-hand man, David knew his boss well. Lysander
hated deception the most.
And the one deceiving him was Thalassa, about something so significant.
“Lysander, I told you this because I want you to know that Thalassa shouldn't
bear the brunt of your hatred for Bruce. She’s truly innocent.” Evelyn’s voice
trembled, her words hanging in the air without a response from Lysander.
“Are you done?” Lysander’s voice was icy, his deep tones suddenly cutting
through the silence.
It wasn't loud, but it was enough to freeze Evelyn in place, her heart pounding
even harder. “Y-Yes...” Evelyn stammered.
If she hadn't received that call from Bruce, she wouldn't have known he had been
arrested — thanks to Lysander.
She had rushed over to Lysander out of fear for Thalassa getting entangled in
Bruce's mess, hoping to convince Lysander not to take out his anger on
Thalassa.
She had expected Lysander to react strongly to the news, but he hadn't said a
word.
What was Lysander thinking? The man was an enigma.
“Keep your eyes on the road!” Lysander’s stern command snapped the tension in
the car even tighter.
David jolted and quickly refocused, “Yes, of course.”
He drove with renewed concentration, and soon, they pulled up in front of the
police station.
Lysander got out, and David followed.
Seeing the police station, Evelyn's entire body shook with fear. She had only
come to tell Lysander the truth, and now he brought her here?
Was he going to throw her in jail, too?
No, she couldn't go to jail.
Evelyn was a woman of humble beginnings. She was normally brave and
fearless, but faced with a crisis, she crumbled.
