The Billionaire’s Secret Quartet novel Chapter 66

David had just arrived at the graveyard when he saw Thalassa and Lysander turning back the way they came. He could do nothing but follow them back, feeling totally bummed out and thinking that this was no way for a person to live.

After the small country path, they hit the village road, which, comparatively, was easier to tread.

As Thalassa reached the village entrance, she saw a big crowd gawking at the Rolls-Royce. On spotting them, the villagers eyed Lysander with anticipation as their gazes filled with curiosity, admiration, and a hint of fear.

As Thalassa and Lysander approached, the villagers were awestruck by Lysander's intimidating aura, each taking a step back to maintain a respectful distance while still watching from a yard away.

"Lysander, slow down; wait for me." Isabella jogged over and began walking parallel to Lysander while looking up and grinning at him, her face full of adoration.

She looked at him with the adoration and tenderness of a smitten woman.

Lysander didn't even spare her a glance.

Isabella's adoring gaze at Lysander left the villagers gobsmacked.

Turned out that this loaded dude had come for Isabella.

Had Isabella snagged a rich boyfriend?

That would explain why Isabella had suddenly become so wealthy, driving luxury cars and building mansions. The guy must be rolling in dough, or how else could he afford Isabella's lavish lifestyle?

This rich, charming man must be Isabella's boyfriend.

The curious villagers felt they had their answer and began to chatter among themselves. They were all green with envy at Isabella.

The whispers inevitably reached Thalassa's ears. She heard the villagers say, "So this is Isabella's boyfriend. He's so handsome and rich. Isabella is so lucky."

For some reason, she felt a pang of sadness.

If Lysander was Isabella's boyfriend, why did he pull her onto his lap last night?

Was he toying with her?

After the wave of sadness, Thalassa felt a surge of anger.
