The Billionaire’s Secret Quartet novel Chapter 1360

Callum had someone deliver a helicopter and some explosives to Susan.

It was all because her ambition knew no bounds. She actually had the guts to plot against Lysander!

When women go wild, they really outdo men in madness. No one dared even think about taking Lysander out, but Susan had the audacity!

And was Lysander an easy target? Far from it. The guy was no regular Joe. He had a unique status and was always flanked by bodyguards. Plus, after the last mishap with Thalassa’s clumsy attempt that nearly hit Lysander, his grandfather must have doubled the protection.

Even if you couldn't see the guards around Lysander, you could bet your bottom dollar there were plenty of heavies lurking in the shadows, ready to pounce.

Most likely, Susan would get a bullet in her head before she could even make her move.

But hey, if Susan wanted to sign her own death warrant, why should Callum stop her? She was digging her own grave after all. If she bit the dust, then Callum would have one less threat to worry about. There was no reason for him to refuse.

...

In Hollowbrook, after a hearty meal, Thalassa and Hertha lingered a bit longer in conversation before Hertha sighed, "I should be heading back. Got work tomorrow and I don't fancy driving in the dark. My driving skills aren’t exactly top-notch, and I’d hate to rear-end someone on the way home."

Thalassa couldn't help but notice that Hertha seemed much more grounded than before. The Hertha of old time was scatterbrained and impulsive, never thinking of the consequences. Now, she seemed to be more cautious.

"Alright, I won't keep you if you've got work. But take a long break sometimes and come stay for a few days with me," Thalassa said with a hint of reluctance, but not wanting to hold Hertha back from her responsibilities.

"Yeah, I'll take my annual leave and come over for a proper holiday. Such a shame I didn't get to see the kids today," Hertha lamented. She'd come to catch up with Thalassa and to share the latest gossip from Starhaven, but as the godmother, she also missed those four little bundles of joy.

Their lively and adorable smiles were like balm to the soul. But now, having barely finished lunch, she had to leave before the kids returned.
