The Billionaire’s Secret Quartet (Thalassa and Elowen)

Chapter 1196

Thalassa listened silently, her eyes fixed on nothing in particular as she absorbed the world around her.

She knew her friend Hertha was defending her honor, and she couldn’t help but agree with her fiery words.

Debby wouldn’t have done well getting out of jail early if she hadn’t figured it out.

Hertha glanced at Debby’s mother, who was still on the ground, wailing and crying, completely ignoring the advice being offered to her.

Hertha’s anger boiled over as she snapped, “Do you think hobbling on one leg to buy your daughter’s freedom is helping her? You’re only making things worse. She’ll become more demanding, more reckless. Let me be clear, we are not going to plead for your daughter, and we certainly won’t forgive her. Thalassa nearly lost her life. Who showed her any sympathy or pity? You want to stay on your knees? Fine, then stay there.”

With those last biting words, Hertha grabbed Thalassa’s hand and steered her around the front of the car, opening the passenger door to let her in.

Just then, a sleek black Rolls-Royce glided smoothly towards them, its engine purring as it pulled up behind Hertha’s car. The door swung open, and out stepped Lysander, a vision of elegance and authority.
