The Billionaire’s Secret Quartet (Thalassa and Elowen)

Chapter 442

She felt a cold sweat trickling down her spine.

There was a nagging urge to spill the beans, to stand up for Thalassa, to demand child support from Lysander, to accuse him of his years of neglect and his indifference to the needs of his own children.

Her sympathy for Thalassa eventually overcame her impulsive thoughts.

Hertha managed to suppress the urge to spill the truth.
