Chapter 1069

Lysander’s icy gaze blazed with a crimson fury, his cheeks twitching slightly as he struggled to contain his anger. The woman before him had repeatedly provoked him and tested his patience to the brink of madness.

He could end it all with the truth and put an end to the torment.

Yet, as he watched her defiant agony, his heart ached even more than hers.

“Bruce locked you up in that room, didn’t he? Did he hand you over to Callum? How much did Callum pay him? What exactly happened between you two in that room?” Lysander’s voice was strained. His temples throbbed with suppressed rage as he gave her one last chance to come clean.

Thalassa’s heart clenched in disbelief, “Is that what you think of me? That I could be sold and bought, that I’d casually sleep with another man? So, how low am I to you.”

Her voice was laced with self-mockery. Although her chin and heart were all aching with a suffocating pain, she managed a bitter smile.

“If that’s not the case, then what are you hiding?” Lysander ground his teeth, pressing her for an answer.

“I told you. It was to protect Bruce, my father.” Thalassa clung to her reason.

Bruce had threatened her before he left. If she exposed him, he would release the video of him harming her mother. If she turned on Bruce, her mother’s dignity would be at risk, and she might not survive the scandal.

She couldn’t take that risk.
