The Billionaire’s Secret Quartet (Thalassa and Elowen)

So Callum guessed that Thalassa hadn't shared what she heard at the police station with Lysander yet. Thalassa averted her gaze, looking away without saying a word. Though she remained silent, Callum understood the answer. Thalassa hadn't told Lysander, proving that deep down, she wasn't as cold-hearted as she appeared. He still had a chance in Thalassa's heart.

"Thalassa, do you know why I was able to show up at the semifinals right away, with the surveillance footage repaired?" Callum asked again.

"To make amends?" Thalassa countered.

Callum paused before responding, "During the jewelry design contest semifinals, someone swapped your piece with a plastic fake. It was all Susan's doing. Atticus fixed the footage, and he asked me to bring it to the competition to prove your innocence."

Thalassa's eyes widened in shock. Atticus had been helping her all along! Her son had always been supporting her from the shadows, and she was clueless about it.

"And for the finals, knowing you were in trouble, Atticus sought me out immediately to help find evidence to clear your name. His unwavering trust in me to reach out, doesn't it mean he trusts me?" Callum said Thalassa let out a light laugh, "That's because he only sees what's on the surface, not knowing who you truly are."
