The Billionaire’s Secret Quartet novel Chapter 972

Lysander’s gaze was too penetrating, too intense. Thalassa couldn’t help but feel a twinge of guilt under his scrutiny.

Unable to hold his gaze any longer, she lowered her head, her eyes skirting away as she stammered, “It’s... it’s the guy you had escorted out just now.”

Lysander's eyes, profound pools of intrigue, deepened further as he observed her in silence.

As the silence thickened, Thalassa felt an unbearable weight pressing down on her.

His piercing stare seemed almost tangible, as if it could bore a hole right through her.

Feeling increasingly panicked, Thalassa struggled to withstand the pressure.

Lysander finally spoke, “Is that so? So, the case is closed then?”

Callum added, “When I burst into the room, all I saw was that scumbag.”

Thalassa was shocked and disbelieving as she cast a glance at Callum, quickly averting her eyes back to the ground.

Her reaction was immediate, a physical response devoid of thought.

As she realized her reaction might have been too telling and lowered her gaze, Lysander had already caught the fleeting change in her demeanor.

His eyes were icy, as if they had frosted over.

Thalassa dared not look at anyone, especially Lysander beside her. Even without making eye contact, she could feel his chilling, intimidating presence, like needles on her skin.

Callum had clearly seen Bruce, yet he went along with her lie, choosing not exposing him.

What could be Callum's motive for doing this?

Thalassa couldn't fathom what was going through Callum's mind. She had been surprised by his willingness to back up her lie, prompting her to involuntarily glance at him.
