Chapter 1944

Lysander's gaze remained fixed on David, silently urging him to continue his tale. The mention of Callum didn't seem to stir much surprise in Lysander; his expression barely changed.

Clearing his throat, David resumed, "Susan went off the rails three years ago. She found Callum and convinced him to lend her a plane and some explosives. Callum even hooked her up with a flight instructor, who crash-coursed her into piloting. Susan flew straight to Hollowbrook. Thalassa's place towers over Hollowbrook, making it quite the conspicuous target for Susan's planned strike."

"She bombed Thalassa's home and then fled in the plane, only to crash land it using the emergency eject. Following the incident, Zephyr got the cops to investigate, but Callum had interfered, leading them to conclude it was an accidental crash that destroyed Thalassa's home-a tragic misdirection."

David had always seen Callum as a gentle, jovial gentleman who, despite his affections for Thalassa, seemed above resorting to such lowly tactics.
