The Billionaire’s Secret Quartet novel Chapter 51

Elowen sauntered over to Evelyn, tugging on the hem of her dress, her big and shiny eyes looking up at her. "Granny, don't be so hard on mom. She works so hard. We don't need baby formula anymore. Granny, stop scolding mom."

Dorian broke free from Hertha's arms and toddled over to Evelyn. He raised his innocent little face and said in a soft voice, "Granny, when we grow up, we're going to make big bucks and buy you and mom a big house. Can you give mom a break, please?"

Atticus sat on the floor cushion, his baby lips pursed. After a pause, he said, "I can be a hacker; I can support my siblings, granny and mom by hacking."

Thalassa's heart melted at the kids' words. Just as she was about to respond, the phone rang, and she went to the balcony to answer it.

Evelyn sternly told Atticus, "What do you know about being a hacker? Watch your mouth, especially in public. It's said that hackers make illegal money and can end up behind bars."

Evelyn wasn't trying to scare him; she was worried that he might go down the wrong path and land in hot water.

Atticus lowered his head, his eyes full of disappointment, and stopped talking.

"Alright, I'll be there tonight." After hanging up, Thalassa returned to the living room.

She smiled at Evelyn and said, "I can work tonight, so no need to worry."

"You should be more ambitious and stop stirring up trouble. You should set a good example for the kids." Evelyn sighed deeply.

It wasn't that she didn't care about her daughter, but life was cruel. If she didn't push her, their family wouldn't make ends meet. There’s really no other choice.

"I know, mom." Thalassa obediently responded.

After dinner, Hertha's parents called her to come home, so she had to leave.

Evelyn stayed home to take care of the kids, while Thalassa went to Sapphire Skyline.

This time, the manager noticed an issue with her ID card and said, "Evelyn, this isn't you, right?"

Thalassa pursed her lips and said, a bit guilty, "That's my mom."

"You better switch back to your ID card. Our boss made a new rule: everyone has to use their own ID card, no exceptions," the manager said.
