The Billionaire’s Secret Quartet novel Chapter 1305

Zephyr's voice was firm, unwavering as he shot down Lysander's attempts at defense. "She's manipulating the whole situation, using her mother to strong-arm you into marrying her. Wants to be Mrs. Sinclair so she can lord it over everyone, look down her nose at the whole world. She's dangerous, Lysander, can’t you see that?"

"But Grandpa..." Lysander tried to cut in, a plea in his voice.

Zephyr waved him off, refusing to let him continue.

He knew Lysander was about to make excuses for Thalassa again. To Zephyr, it was clear as day that the boy was under her spell.

He couldn't see the truth, wouldn't believe that Thalassa was the ambitious, ruthless type.

Just like Barnett couldn't see that Belinda was going to betray him until it was too late.

And in the end, the bitter truth was right there. Belinda didn't just betray Barnett, she was even ready to elope with another man. Barnett, in his desperation to keep her, lost everything, even his life.

Lysander's father had already been claimed by a woman like that. And now, Lysander was tangled with another.

Zephyr would not stand idly by and watch his grandson fall deeper into such mess.

With Leopold gone, Lysander was the last hope for the Sinclair legacy.

The agony of burying his own children was a pain Zephyr had endured twice. He could not bear it a third time.

"You know better than anyone why Leopold died. And yet, you still want to make excuses for Thalassa? That she's not a siren leading men to their doom?" Zephyr's gaze sharpened, his eyes like those of a hawk, piercing Lysander's resolve.
