The Billionaire’s Secret Quartet novel Chapter 1295

Sitting at the edge of the bed, Lucy gave Susan a warm smile as she peeled an apple. "Susan, you're practically a heroine for saving Mr. Sinclair. A few scratches? Totally worth it."

Bruce chimed in from across the room, his voice filled with admiration. "Absolutely, Susan. After this, Mr. Sinclair is definitely gonna see you in a new light."

Thalassa froze just outside the door, her body shaking with anger at the sound of their voices.

The last thing she wanted was to see their smug faces.

Especially Bruce – he was the one who had ruined her mother, leaving her in an emotional wreck.

She wished she could kill him.

Pretending to be all warm and fuzzy with Susan's family was something Thalassa just couldn't stomach.

Ethan noticed Thalassa's fury and stopped beside her. He could see her clenching her jaw, her cheeks trembling with rage.

He was well aware of the bad blood between Thalassa and Bruce's family. Gently placing a hand on her shoulder, he whispered, "Those who aim to achieve great things must endure sometimes. Do it for your children, Thalassa."

Thalassa's tense body gradually relaxed as she took Ethan's words to heart. She took a deep breath, then let it out slowly, trying to calm the storm within.

Once she felt composed enough, she walked into the room with Ethan by her side.

Susan was sitting up in bed, engrossed in a mobile game, while Lucy sat beside her, feeding her the peeled apple. Bruce was busy pouring hot drink.

As Thalassa and Ethan entered, no one looked up.

"Susan, how are you feeling? Any better?" Ethan asked, his professional smile as a CEO practiced and polite.
