"You're telling me that Lysander's father died because of Bruce?" Evelyn's lips turned pale as the news sent shock waves through her core.
"Yes, Lysander hates me and our family." Thalassa's voice was filled with helplessness and resignation.
Evelyn gripped Thalassa's hand and dropped her gaze. Her eyes went blank, "Good heavens... I had been singing praises about the benefits of him marrying you to his grandmother. Was Sybil's death indirectly caused by me?"
The realization hit Evelyn hard and drowned her in guilt.
"Mom, stop overthinking. There's more to Grandma Sybil's death. Lysander is looking into it." Thalassa paused for a moment before adding an earnest remark, "Mom, stop trusting Bruce. He doesn't love anyone but himself. He's been deceiving you all along."
Evelyn's blank stare was replaced by a flood of tears as the harsh reality hit her. The pain was unbearable.
She had been hurt before, and now she was hurt deeply this time.
Evelyn said bitterly through her tears, "I hope that old crook gets hit by a bus!"
With that, her fists quivered as it slammed down on the sofa.
"He's stolen our money, so what can we do now? What should I do?" Evelyn gritted her teeth in anger.
She had ruined Thalassa's life and her own because of such a cheater.
Thalassa gently patted Evelyn's shoulder to comfort her. "Mom, just stop trusting him from now on."
Her eyes were steady and clear, "I'll get our money back!"
"How will you get it back? Don't confront him head-on." Evelyn held Thalassa's hand in worry.
