The Billionaire’s Secret Quartet novel Chapter 1344

Dorian sprinted over, his little hands pushing against Susan's leg with all his might. Tilting his head back and sticking out his neck, he shouted up at her, "Don't you dare talk smack about my dad in front of my mom!"

From out of nowhere, Elowen produced a raw egg and, with a flick of her wrist, pelted it squarely onto Susan's face. The egg exploded, covering Susan’s face in a gooey mess.

Hands on her hips, Elowen scowled and warned in a feisty tone, "Bad lady, beat it or I'll keep serving you eggs!"

Susan shivered as the egg dripped down her cheeks, raising a hand to wipe the mess from her face and revealing a twisted, furious expression. She glared down at the children.

"You little brats asking for trouble, throwing eggs at my face! You’re just like your mothers, tossed aside by men and left with nothing but trouble!"

"Shut your mouth!"

"Smack!"

Overcome by a surge of hatred and fueled by her grief, Thalassa’s body, previously weakened by sorrow, now surged with anger and strength. She rushed forward and slapped Susan right across the face.

The slap sent Susan staggering backward, her head snapping to the side. Her ears rang, her mind went blank.

Her face, smeared with egg, bore the angry red imprint of Thalassa's hand, twisted in anger like a grotesque mask.

Susan turned, her eyes blazing with fury at Thalassa, her chest heaving with rage. Her manicured nails, sharp as talons, reached out menacingly towards Thalassa.
