The Billionaire’s Secret Quartet novel Chapter 896

"Gosh, that jerk is terrifying!" Behind Evelyn, little Elowen suddenly burst into tears.

Her tiny hand, tightly clutching Evelyn's finger, trembled with fear.

Evelyn felt a pang in her heart. She shot Bruce a furious glare. "I'm telling the truth, Bruce. You need to stop bothering us. My daughter and I have nothing to do with you anymore!"

Bruce, already infuriated, took a menacing step towards Evelyn at her words, his posture threatening.

Thalassa, visibly shaken, quickly stepped forward, blocking Bruce’s path. With a stern expression, she said, "I saw your daughter, Susan, at the dinner party last night. She was thrown out by Lysander. My children are Lysander's children!"

Her words were few but firm.

Bruce paused, his sinister gaze shifting to Thalassa. "And what about you? Are you my daughter?"

Bruce could tell that Thalassa was using Lysander as a threat. Lysander had allowed Thalassa to attend the dinner party but had thrown out Susan, Bruce's daughter. This was a clear indication that Lysander respected Thalassa but would not extend the same courtesy to anyone associated with her.

If he scared her children, Lysander would not let him off easily.

Bruce's question to Thalassa held a double meaning.

Firstly, he wanted to confirm whether Evelyn had betrayed him.

Secondly, he wanted to use Thalassa to gain favor with Lysander.

Thalassa met Bruce's cold, threatening gaze, as though he would strangle her on the spot if she answered negatively.

Thalassa gritted her teeth and said, "I wish I weren't your daughter! I dream of it!"

Evelyn’s eyes widened in disbelief as she gazed at Thalassa. She hadn't expected Thalassa to say that.
