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.

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