The Billionaire’s Secret Quartet novel Chapter 1316

Thalassa's tears trembled as they fell, splashing onto the paper.

Her heart tightened, anger and frustration making her breath shake, her body feeling unsteady as it staggered backward.

"Thalassa, are you alright?" Seeing her overcome with grief, Ethan stepped forward, steadying her shoulders with his hands, his voice laced with concern.

Susan had been terrified by Lysander's furious glare, but as he stormed off, she snapped back to reality and marched over to Thalassa, her voice haughty, "This is all because of you. Now Lysander even hates me."

Her words cut through Thalassa like a sharp knife.

With tearful eyes, Thalassa glared back at Susan, her voice trembling with rage, "Do you know who the woman on the first page is? She's Lysander's mother, Belinda!"

"What?!" Susan froze, shock coursing through her, a cold sensation rising from the soles of her feet to the crown of her head.

Her father had an affair with Lysander's mother!

As the enormity of her mistake dawned on her, Susan realized she had not only fueled Lysander's hatred for Thalassa but also destroyed her own chances.

She was familiar with the contents of the folder. Belinda had died while planning to elope with Bruce.

Susan gasped, suddenly realizing why Lysander had said that no one from Bruce's family would escape the consequences.

Susan's legs went weak, as if death was just around the corner.

Ethan, still unclear about what had transpired, grasped the situation upon hearing Belinda's name.

Lysander had lost his parents at a young age, and their deaths were no accident.

The whole sordid story of Belinda's affair and demise was detailed in that file, explaining Lysander's fury and misery.
