The Billionaire’s Secret Quartet novel Chapter 679

Thalassa heaved a sigh, playing to Bruce's emotional side, a trick he was a master of,

"I wasn't really mad," she said. "My mom is right. After all, you are my father, that's a bond that can't be changed. I used to hate you, but these past few days my mom has told me a lot of good things about you. You've been in love with her for so many years and it hasn't been easy. There’s no need for me to keep hating you. Us getting closer would make my mom happy."

"Absolutely, your mom is right," Bruce hastily agreed as he rubbed his hand.

Thalassa noticed his habit. It seemed like whenever he was trying to gain someone's favor, he would always be rubbing his hands.

Thalassa glanced at his hands before looking back at him, "I found a perfect place for a day trip; it could also help us strengthen our father-daughter relationship. Everyone who's been there has nothing but praises for it, because it requires mutual help and trust. It's a way to show your true intentions."

"I truly care about you and your mom," Bruce said anxiously, eager to prove his sincerity.

Seeing his desperate demeanor, Thalassa couldn't help but sneer inwardly.

He was just afraid of losing his two billion, that’s all.

"I want to believe you," Thalassa continued. "I took the day off today and you're free as well, why don't we go on that trip today? We can see if you’re really as caring and helpful as you claim to be."

Without a second thought, Bruce agreed, "Sure, let's do it today."

He thought, what's the big deal? Just being attentive, asking if she's tired, or thirsty, or hungry.

No one could play this sweet-talk game better than him.

Without delay, Thalassa and Bruce hopped into a cab and headed towards Starhaven's Phoenix Mountain.

Phoenix Mountain was a challenging terrain with steep cliffs and rugged trails. A careless step could lead to a twisted ankle or a fall into one of the many perilous caves.

It was generally a popular choice among adventure-seekers.

During the trip, people got to help each other to the mountain top, get down, and then go home to make a smooth sailing.
