The Billionaire’s Secret Quartet (Thalassa and Elowen)

Chapter 676

Thalassa’s tone sounded irritable, as if she had no desire to converse further with Bruce.

Bruce’s tone was fraught with flattery and pleasantry, which was laced with a touch of humor, “Thalassa, I apologize for my previous rudeness. I wasn’t thinking straight. You’re right, transferring the house under your name is the best course of action. But I have a question.”

“What’s your question? Hurry up, I don’t have time to chat. I have to get to work.” Thalassa responded like that to create a sense of urgency.

Bruce knew he needed to act quickly. Otherwise, Thalassa would change her mind later.

“If you receive the three billion and give two billion to me, what would you say if Lysander asks you what you did with the money?” If Lysander were to investigate, the two billion might still not make it into his hands.

Bruce’s only concern was his own interests.

“Look, like I said, you transfer the house under my name first; once Lysander approves that, he’ll give me the three billion and I’ll transfer the house back to you. If it can’t be transferred back, I give you an extra two billion. If it goes through, sorry, you only get one billion more. I’ll tell Lysander the money is just sitting in my account for my retirement. He won’t investigate if he thinks I haven’t spent it. Why you don’t understand such a simple concept?”

Sensing Thalassa’s impatience, Bruce quickly agreed, “Yes, yes, you’re right. Okay, we’ll do as you say. However, the real estate agency just called me, saying the housing authority’s system is down so we can’t sign the papers online now. We have to wait until the system is back up.”

Bruce was worried about losing both the house and a chance to receive an additional two billion.
