The Billionaire’s Secret Quartet (Thalassa and Elowen)

Chapter 1361

Hertha’s heart skipped a beat, and she quickly averted her gaze, unable to hold Lysander’s piercing stare any longer.

The man was downright horrifying. Even a single second of eye contact was enough to send shivers down her spine and nearly induce a panic attack.

She hurriedly started her car, a sleek and inconspicuous sedan, and took off down the street. She had considered going back to help Thalassa, but it seemed now that her presence would only complicate matters.

Lysander, although cold and detached towards Thalassa, had never truly harmed her.

At most, he had left Thalassa bedridden after bedroom activities, something that, in the grand scheme of things, was a private matter between the two of them.

Lysander wouldn’t really hurt Thalassa.

If Hertha insisted on staying, she might only distract her friend, making it harder for Thalassa to stand up to Lysander. So, it was best for her to leave.

Hertha drove away, leaving the drama in her rear-view mirror.

Thalassa returned inside the cozy home, helping her aunt shuck corn in the kitchen.

Suddenly, the sound of a car engine caught her attention, and her ears perked up. She listened closely-yes, someone was driving in!
