The Billionaire’s Secret Quartet novel Chapter 948

Thalassa could sense the daggers in every icy glare that Charlotte directed her way. A barely noticeable smirk played on her lips as she recalled the last time Charlotte had attempted to frame her for theft.

It had blown up spectacularly in Charlotte's face when Lysander, in front of a crowd no less, exposed her ploy, leading to Zephyr announcing the cancellation of the Sinclair-Ravensong family alliance in a fit of rage.

Yet, here was Charlotte, not even bothering to apologize, instead choosing to throw shade at Thalassa as if she had any right to do so.

On a normal day, Thalassa would have settled the score, but today she was here on behalf of Crawley Group, with business to attend to. Personal vendettas would have to wait.

Ignoring Charlotte's provocative gaze, Thalassa's eyes drifted to the man seated next to her. It was none other than Richard Draven, the young owner of the Draven Antique Shop.

Richard and Charlotte sitting together? Was he here for the interview as well? Perhaps as Charlotte's friend?

Ignoring Charlotte's earlier attempt to engage her, Thalassa seated herself across from them, her smile cool and distant. She turned to Richard and said, "Mr. Draven, it’s quite unexpected to have your company for the interview today."

Richard caught the inquisitive tone in her voice and responded with a slight smile, "The Shop hasn’t been busy lately, so I thought I'd keep an old friend company."

His gaze softened as he looked at Charlotte, who seemed oblivious to the affection in his eyes. Her own eyes, marked with precision, remained fixated on Thalassa, wielding a look that could incite wars.

Charlotte was indignant that Thalassa had ignored her, her privileged upbringing making it impossible for her to accept such disregard.

The fire in Charlotte's heart was stoked by Thalassa's nonchalant demeanor.

Suddenly, Charlotte stood up, towering over Thalassa, "I'm speaking to you, did you not hear me? My engagement to Lysander might be off, but I'm the journalist interviewing you today. How dare you treat me with such disrespect!"
