The Billionaire’s Secret Quartet (Thalassa and Elowen)

Chapter 862

Lysander fixed his intense gaze on her, a chilling aura surrounding him.

Thalassa felt a knot of dread in her stomach under his penetrating and inky stare.

Ever since she discovered that Leopold’s death was linked to Lysander, she’d been desperate to escape from him, always ready for a fight.

But after having a meal with Hertha today, she realized she couldn’t rashly confront Lysander. Angering him would bring misfortune to those around her.
