The Billionaire’s Secret Quartet novel Chapter 1074

Even though Thalassa's phone didn't have Bruce's number saved, she recognized the last digits flashing on the screen and knew who was calling.

What on earth did Bruce want now?

She remembered the day Bruce had worked with Daniel to kidnap her. In a desperate move to prevent Bruce from releasing that damning video of Evelyn, Thalassa had done everything in her power to keep Bruce's involvement under wraps.

Eventually, Lysander found out, but it was through his own investigation, not her doing.

Could it be that Lysander had made his move, getting the cops to nab Bruce? Was this call a desperate plea for help?

With speculation swirling in her mind and the relentless vibration of the incoming call setting her nerves on edge, Thalassa felt a tide of unease wash over her. She really didn't want to answer, full of loathing for the man she deemed scum. But the persistent flashing of those digits was like a siren call, impossible to ignore.

Taking a deep breath, her finger swiped the screen at the very last second before the call would drop.

Silence hung in the virtual space until Bruce's icy voice cut through, "Thalassa, have you been messing with my phone?"

Bruce's sinister question froze Thalassa's breath in her throat. She now knew why he had called.

It seemed he had realized the video was missing from his phone.

After merely a day and night, he noticed the video in his phone had disappeared.

Who in their right mind regularly checks such content?

She felt a wave of nausea at the memory of Atticus hacking into Bruce's home security system, where they saw Bruce leering at his computer screen. Disgust and hatred churned within her—Bruce was no ordinary man; he was a sick freak!
