The Billionaire’s Secret Quartet novel Chapter 1864

Here's the revised translation:

"It's her again, isn't it? You only soften up like that for her!" Zephyr's voice came through the phone, barely concealing his annoyance.

It was clear that Zephyr was furious and held a significant grudge against Thalassa.

Thalassa, initially ready to exchange pleasantries with Lysander, felt her mood plummet upon hearing Zephyr's words. "You seem busy, I won't keep you," she said to Lysander, her voice tinged with disappointment.

After ending the call, Thalassa stood there, engulfed in a sense of loss.

Meanwhile, at the Sinclair mansion, Lysander sat in a wheelchair, facing Zephyr's stern expression. "Are you telling me this was her idea?" Zephyr demanded, his face a mix of severity and frost.

After the Sinclair Corporation's shareholder meeting, Payton had eagerly reported to Zephyr with his own dramatic twist. He accused Lysander of plotting to poach major shareholders from the Sinclair Corporation, aiming to lead the family business to ruin, betraying his heritage.

Payton, fearing Zephyr's faith in Lysander, squarely placed the blame on Thalassa. He argued that ever since Lysander got involved with Thalassa, he seemed entirely bewitched, neglecting the care and consideration he once held for the Sinclair family. According to Payton, Lysander had become cold-hearted, indifferent even if it meant seeing the Sinclair family's downfall.

Zephyr, initially capable of analyzing Lysander's decisions rationally, lost his composure upon hearing Thalassa's involvement and immediately summoned Lysander to confront him directly.

Looking up, Lysander met his grandfather's gaze with a seriousness he'd never shown before. Despite always treating his grandfather with respect and politeness, hearing the misunderstandings about Thalassa stirred a cold sternness in him.

"Grandpa, Thalassa knows nothing about this. It's unfair to drag her into every issue," Lysander's voice was deep, filled with restrained anger. He knew Thalassa was innocent.

"Unaware? And you think that justifies your ruthlessness?" Zephyr retorted. "Just because she's gained some fame, you've decided to start a jewelry business for her, poaching Sinclair Corporation's resources for your lady's benefit. When did you lose your wisdom, Lysander?"

Lysander took a deep breath, trying to contain his rising anger. He had explained that Thalassa was not involved, yet his grandfather kept targeting her, placing all the blame on her shoulders.

"In the past three years, the Sinclair Corporation has been suffering losses, with many shareholders feeling the pinch and facing dissatisfaction. Payton, instead of appeasing them, encouraged them to divest at the shareholder meeting. Isn't his approach tantamount to dismantling the Sinclair Corporation?" Lysander tried to reason with Zephyr.

"Payton may lack business acumen, but pointing out his mistakes doesn't justify poaching the Sinclair Corporation's shareholders," Zephyr argued, still unable to come to terms with Lysander's actions.

"Didn't you say it yourself, Grandpa? That the Sinclair Corporation's matters no longer require my involvement?" Lysander countered, a clear challenge in his tone.
