The Billionaire’s Secret Quartet novel Chapter 1131

"If it weren't for you, he'd still be alive!" Debby exclaimed; her hatred was so strong that she had to clench her teeth and tense her body to refrain her urge to lash out at Thalassa.

Thalassa was enveloped in sorrow, her voice trembling with the weight of her words, "Wasn't he with you before? Why did it all just... end?"

She had told Leopold over and over again to move on, to fall for someone else, to marry and have a family.

To stop holding onto the fantasy that he’d be with Thalassa.

When she had seen him dining with Debby, Thalassa had felt genuine happiness for him from the depths of her heart.

"Can't you see? He was just using me to get a reaction out of you!" Debby's hands, resting on the chair, curled into fists that shook with a mix of heartache and fury.

Every thought of Leopold left her heart riddled with pain.

He had indeed shared meals with her, and even tended to her with a gentle warmth. But that was only because Thalassa had been in the same restaurant. He had used Debby and their intimacy as a pawn to try to get her jealous

After walking her home that day, he had made it clear to Debby that there was no future for them and that she should set her sights on someone new.

Debby was extremely painful.

She had fallen for Leopold during college, a seven-year unrequited love that she pursued each step with a masochistic zeal.

Even being used by him was a delight, as long as it brought her closer to the man she adored.

But now, Leopold had chosen death over a life without his love.

He preferred death to being with her!

Debby was consumed by pain, anger, grief, and hatred.

It was all Thalassa's fault.
