The Billionaire’s Secret Quartet novel Chapter 699

David’s unprovoked confession surprised Lysander.

Lysander's hand paused over the document he was holding as his piercing eyes shifted towards David.

"Ms. Everhart sent the funds back to me, and I placed them in the company account." David confessed, avoiding eye contact.

Lysander's intimidating gaze sent a chill down David's spine, making his entire body tense up.

The room seemed to grow colder after David's confession.

Silent threats were the most challenging for one's mental endurance, and David was feeling all the pressure.

Just as he was preparing himself for a verbal lashing, Lysander's icy voice echoed in the room. "Get out!"

David felt as if he had been pardoned and hurriedly left the office.

Now that it was just her left, the finance manager started sweating bullets. When she saw Lysander's gaze turn towards her, she stammered, "I… I only know what David told me... I have no other information."

She, too, left the office shakily.

She was relieved that David had taken the brunt of Lysander's anger. If it had been her alone, she would have been so terrified of Mr. Sinclair's imposing demeanor that she probably would have started crying.

With a heavy thud, Lysander threw the documents onto the table. The sound of the paper hitting the wooden surface rang out through the entire room.

With each deep breath he took, his eyes became even frostier.

Did she think returning the money would sever their ties?

It seemed like she didn't understand her situation at all!

...

Back at Royal Estates.

Thalassa had a good night's sleep after settling her affairs.

A weight was lifted off her shoulders, leaving her feeling much lighter.

She still remembered Lysander's livid and venomous look when he discovered that the billion in her account was used to buy a mansion for Bruce.
