The Billionaire’s Secret Quartet (Thalassa and Elowen)

Chapter 971

Thalassa’s heart was strung tight, her breath caught, as she endured the torment, a drawn-out agony.

She was worried sick about her mother’s safety. Yet faced with Lysander’s iron grip of power, she felt utterly helpless.

Racking her brain, she pondered how she would break the news to Lysander once the truth was out. How could she convince him not to tip off Bruce, who held her mother’s fate in his hands?

Would he show compassion for her, for her mother, and hold off on confronting Bruce?

Thalassa didn’t know if Lysander would.

The fact was, Evelyn had been Bruce’s girl in her youth, and now she was under his thumb again. If Lysander found out about this family scandal, would he mock her mother and claim she had it coming?

Thalassa’s heart quivered with fear; she couldn’t predict Lysander’s thoughts or what he would do about this mess.

It was an all-or-nothing gamble, and neither she nor her mother could afford to lose.
