The Billionaire’s Secret Quartet novel Chapter 614

Bruce shook his head. "You don't get her, Evelyn. She has an insatiable appetite for money. She won't divorce me unless I can cough up a hundred million. No matter how hard I work, I can't make that kind of money. But I yearn to be with you so badly that it's driving me mad. That's why, when that wealthy widow took a liking to me, I didn't outright reject her. I've been stringing her along, hoping to secure that hundred million in alimony so I can sever all ties with her and then divorce that dragon lady. Then, you and I could be together forever."

"A hundred million? That much?" Evelyn was stunned, only then realizing that her hand was still clasped within Bruce's.

"It's a lot, I know. That's why I'm stuck. I want to give you and Thalassa a complete family, but I can't. Poor Thalassa doesn't have a father to back her up, and she's at the mercy of the Sinclair family."

Bruce sighed. His tone was filled with regret for not being able to marry Evelyn and help Thalassa.

Every word was like a dagger to Evelyn's heart, highlighting her deepest regrets and fears.

Evelyn felt as if she had found someone who truly understood her pain. She could feel her chest tightening as sadness welled up within her.

"Isn't that Thalassa's mother, Evelyn?" A woman's voice echoed from the doorway of the hospital room.

Evelyn turned around to see a young woman standing at the entrance. After a moment of confusion, she suddenly realized that her hand was still being held by Bruce. She awkwardly retracted her hand.

Composing herself, she asked, "May I know who you're looking for?"

"I'm looking for you both." Faye stepped in, handing Evelyn a business card. "I've been Lysander's secretary for seven years."

After seeing the introduction on the card, Evelyn realized that Faye was a part of Lysander's circle. Her demeanor instantly became more cautious and serious.

"Faye, what brings you here?"

"I only just found out that Thalassa has given birth to four children for Lysander. They all had dinner together at Mr. Sinclair's grandparents' house, the Sinclair Mansion, this afternoon. I've heard that from now on, Zephyr will pick up the children from their kindergarten and take them to his place for dinner every day."

Faye diverted the conversation towards Thalassa. She had originally come to visit her sick father but overheard Evelyn's conversation with Bruce at the door of the hospital room. Faye felt a golden opportunity presenting itself.
