The CEO's Amazing Ex-Wife Is Back! by H. Dally

Chapter 94

In Thalassa’s office, after her call with Kris, Luisa and Mille were staring at her with varying degrees of shock and confusion.

“I can’t believe this! You’re really willing to let Karen out of jail?!” Millie exclaimed.

“All because of what her mother came here to say?” Luisa fumed. “What if the two of them were in cahoots to deceive you?”

“Rita is an honest woman and would never connive with anyone, not even Karen,” Thalassa replied calmly.

“Even so!” Luisa stared at her like she was going crazy. “I thought you wanted Karen to pay for everything she has done to you. I can’t believe you’re just letting her get out so easily.”

Though Thalassa was exasperated, she could also understand her friends‘ frustration and confusion. Sighing, she stood up and walked to the floor–to–ceiling window on one side of her office, which overlooked a breathtaking view of the city.

“Luisa, do you remember my main motive for coming back to Baltimore?” she asked, still looking out the window.

“Yes. You wanted to avenge the death of the child you lost,” Luisa replied, her voice a bit uncertain, as though she couldn’t figure out where Thalassa was going with this.

“You’re right. I wanted to punish the culprit. I wasn’t sure whether it was Linda Miller, Karen, or both. But now I know who’s truly responsible, the same person who orchestrated every horrible thing that happened to me. That person is still walking free.”

“So you’re just going to forgive Karen? Lassa, remember that she was still that woman’s accomplice,” Millie pointed out.

Nodding, Thalassa slowly turned from the window to face her friends again, feeling her eyes moisten.

“I know, but do you really think this decision was easy for me? No, it wasn’t, Millie. But that woman who left just minutes ago… she’s like a mother to me. She’s taken care of me and done much more for me than any living person has, and she never even asked for anything in return”

A tear slid down her cheek. “This is the first time she has asked me for something. I know it’s a great sacrifice, but how do I refuse? I want her to know that I truly did appreciate everything she did for me. That’s why I’m going to let Karen go… for a while.”

Millie and Luisa looked at each other with concern on their faces before Luisa spoke. “For a while? What do you mean by that?”
