The Billionaire’s Secret Quartet novel Chapter 1315

But Lysander didn't just hold a grudge against Thalassa. He had it in for her whole family. "Listen," he spat out venomously, "none of you will get off scot-free!" With that, he stormed off, leaving a heavy air of animosity behind him.

David snapped out of his daze and hurried after him, while Susan was left behind, stunned. It was Thalassa's mother and her father's scandal that started all this mess, why was Lysander's fury also directed at her?

Thalassa's breath quivered as she slowly flipped open the folder. On the first page, the name "Belinda" was written in bold, black letters.

No wonder Lysander's demeanor turned icy the moment he opened the folder.

The first page detailed Belinda's profile.

Bruce shamelessly documented every woman he'd been with, including the intimate encounters, described in disturbing detail.

As Thalassa read through the text, she felt choked by disgust and hatred, wishing she could kill Bruce right away.

The profile revealed that Belinda and Bruce had met in an upscale beauty salon, where Bruce worked as a charming cosmetologist. He sweet-talked Belinda, playing the role of a man trapped in an unhappy marriage. He spun lies about wanting to divorce his 'vicious' wife and marry Belinda, claiming he needed a hefty sum to appease his wife for the divorce.

It was the same story he had used to dupe Evelyn.

Blinded by Bruce's sweet nothings, Belinda gave him a considerable amount of money in her infatuation. When she discovered that Bruce had no intention of leaving his wife, she confronted him. To keep this wealthy woman on the hook, Bruce pacified her with talk of eloping together—a mere charade to him. But Belinda took it to heart, willing to abandon her family for him.

The document went on to detail every sordid liaison between Bruce and Belinda—the locations, the times, the acts...

Thalassa felt her eyes burn with rage, her hands gripping the papers tightly, her whole body shaking with anger and loathing.

Turning the page, the narrative continued with the affair between Bruce and her own mother, Evelyn. Evelyn was single, and Bruce was drawn to her youthful looks and free-spirited nature.

Even as he was entangled with Belinda, he couldn't bear to part with Evelyn. He dangled the prospect of eloping with Belinda to keep Evelyn hooked, all the while telling her that his involvement with Belinda was just a means to an end—to amass enough money to leave his wife and marry Evelyn.

When Evelyn learned of his wife and his murky dealings with Belinda, she ended things with Bruce decisively. He actually regretted losing Evelyn. Among all the women, his marriage was one of necessity, Belinda was a financial scheme, but Evelyn... with her, it was about desire and joy.

After their breakup, Bruce lamented their separation for a long time. When he encountered Evelyn again, he couldn't restrain himself and attempted to kiss her, but she resisted. Unable to accept her rejection, Bruce assaulted her.

That twisted man had chronicled everything—the assault on Evelyn, the time, the place, the process, his feelings, and Evelyn's reaction.
