The Billionaire’s Secret Quartet novel Chapter 20

Faye stepped in for Thalassa to introduce her hometown.

After finding out Thalassa was working at the Sinclair group under the name Evelyn, Faye dug up all her dirt, even memorizing her ID card info.

She couldn't let Lysander find out Thalassa was actually from Hollowbrook. Otherwise, all secrets would be blown wide open. If the lie was exposed, she'd never get another chance to get close to Lysander.

Thalassa chuckled awkwardly, admitting, "Faye's got it right."

Thalassa's mom, Evelyn, was indeed from Eldoria, while Thalassa lived in Hollowbrook because her aunt Astrid Pendleton married Ryan Everhart. As a kid, her mom brought her to live with Astrid. She'd been daddy-less since birth, and when she asked her mom about her father, her mom snapped, "You're my kid, and you have no father!"

Knowing that asking about her father would make her mom mad, Thalassa stopped asking.

And Isabella's dad? Turns out he was Ryan's brother.

Lysander's gaze turned cold. From Eldoria? Not Hollowbrook. Seems like he got it wrong again.

Disappointment welled up in Lysander, his anticipation fading. Looking at Thalassa, his gaze hardened, his tone icy, "What are you doing blocking my office door? Looking for trouble?"

He'd let himself be tempted by her, even kissed this sly fox woman. Lysander was filled with regret and anger at her actions.
