The Billionaire’s Secret Quartet novel Chapter 1029

Thalassa was aware that Evelyn had set out to job hunt that day, looking specifically for a cleaner's position.

"Job hunting is a piece of cake, just a tiny bump in the road. But the way those rich folks live it up, it turns my stomach." Evelyn confessed, still visibly shaken by the experience.

Thalassa glanced down to see four little ones staring up with wide, innocent eyes full of wonder and confusion.

"Granny, what did you see? Can you tell us a story?" Dorian, the story-lover, was always eager for a complex tale. The more tangled the better, so he could act it out later.

"Well..." Evelyn hesitated. She suddenly realized that the presence of the children. Discussing the seedier side of adult affairs with Thalassa in such a rush might not be appropriate.

"It's getting late. You all should take your baths and get ready for bed. Granny will tell you a story in the morning." Thalassa quickly diverted their attention.

"Mommy has to talk to Granny about some grown-up things, so off you go and bathe. I'll tuck you in later."

"Okay." The little ones were indeed tired. They chorused their agreement, obediently following the servants to the bathroom.

Then, Thalassa led Evelyn into Atticus' room, had her take a seat, and poured her a glass of water. "What did you see that's got you so rattled, even in front of the kids?"

Evelyn took the water, gulping down more than half to steady her breath, then turned to Thalassa. "I went to look for you in room 2809, and what I saw was... was just appalling."

Evelyn went to room 2809 - had she possibly seen Lysander and Susan together?

Thalassa's heart sank, her hand tightening around the glass.

Unaware of Thalassa’s distress, Evelyn continued, "Susan came out of Lysander's room disheveled, her face flushed with the afterglow of a tryst. And to my horror, she then went straight across to Room 2806, which also housed a man. I overheard her boasting she was attending to Mr. Joshua that evening in every possible way!"
