The Billionaire's Secret Quartet

Chapter 1347
Susan's eyes narrowed as she peered through the crack in the door, her gaze
fixated on Lysander, whose normally stoic face was softened by a look of
genuine concern.
And the object of his tenderness? The very woman Susan loathed to her core-
Thalassa.
The sight twisted Susan's heart into a tight knot of rage and venom.
Damn that Thalassa, why didn’t she just drop dead? With her frail, sickly act-
whom was she trying to fool?
Was it all just to garner Lysander’s pity?
Susan watched, her breaths coming in harsh, ragged pulls as Lysander cradled
Thalassa in his arms, his eyes revealing a depth of emotion he'd never shown
before.
She seethed with a hatred so fierce it made her chest heave. But she couldn't
barge in now, not without facing Lysander’s wrath. He'd surely turn on her if she
laid a finger on Thalassa.
So, biting back her resentment, Susan stormed away.
It didn’t matter. She had time on her side, and she'd make sure that Thalassa
and Lysander’s paths diverged permanently.
After all, Thalassa was starting to believe that Evelyn's death had Lysander’s
fingerprints all over it.
No one could forgive the person responsible for their mother’s demise, especially
Thalassa, whose bond with her mother was unbreakable.
Thalassa’s world had crumbled with her mother’s passing, and the last person
she could stomach was the ones who drove her mom to death.
As pain clutched at Thalassa’s heart, her vision swam and her legs buckled,
almost sending her to the ground if not for Lysander’s firm grasp.
His arms had held her many times before, their strength and tension once setting
her pulse racing and her breaths short.
But now, the very same arms felt like chains, tightening around her and
suffocating her
As consciousness clawed back into her mind, she weakly pushed against him,
her effort barely a whisper of strength.
With a feeble voice, she accused, “You had always despised my mother. Now
that she’s gone, you must be pleased.”
Thalassa’s push was feeble, but Lysander could feel the pressure against his
arm as though it were a boulder crushing his chest, making it hard to breathe.
“I never hated your mother,” he said, his voice rough with emotion.
Sending Evelyn to the police station had been a spur-of-the-moment decision,
especially since Bruce was locked up at the time, which should have meant
safety for her.

Those words had been the final blow for Evelyn.
“You're lying!” Thalassa’s hands trembled, tears streaming down as she stared at
Lysander, breaths jagged with grief.
He hadn't hated her mother?
From the beginning, he resented her because of her mother’s ties to Bruce. His
disdain for Bruce extended to her mother.
