The Billionaire’s Secret Quartet novel Chapter 1314

Thalassa's heart skipped a beat as she watched Lysander flip open the folder. Time seemed to crawl to a halt, each tick of the clock stretching into eternity. She could hear her own heavy breathing, her pulse thundering in her ears, heart leaping to her throat as she reached out desperately.

But in that split second her hand lunged forward, Lysander deftly shifted his grip, avoiding her touch.

She grasped at thin air, shock painting her face as she turned to face Lysander, whose calm and handsome features had now transformed into a tempest of icy wrath. His usually eyes flared crimson, anger pulsing through the veins on his hand clutching the documents.

Thalassa was petrified, her breath caught in her chest as she watched the fury blaze across Lysander's face, like an imminent volcanic eruption that chilled her to the bone.

Witnessing Lysander finally confront the contents of the folder, Susan couldn't hide the smug triumph on her face.

Ethan and David had been in a fog, unsure why Thalassa had been so anxious about a mere folder. But now, as they saw Lysander’s reactions after laying eyes on those documents, they understood.

Exchanging a knowing look, Ethan and David remained silent. Lysander was on the razor's edge of rage, and whoever spoke out at this moment was in for misfortune.

Thalassa had given up on trying to snatch back the folder. Her heart felt like a heavy stone, pounding against her ribcage, each beat a hammer strike.

Trembling, her body shook uncontrollably as she watched the frost on Lysander's face grow thicker, his eyes bloodshot with fury.

He flipped through the pages—first, second, third, fourth... By the time he’d scrutinized all the pages, his handsome face became a mask of cold fury, his temples throbbing with visible veins.

An icy aura enveloped him, freezing even the air around them, his presence so powerful it was suffocating.

As Lysander finished reading, his blood-red eyes cut sharply toward Thalassa.
