The Billionaire’s Secret Quartet novel Chapter 99

"Mom, let me give you a back rub." Elowen kicked off her shoes. She quickly climbed onto the couch, her small hands on Thalassa's shoulders, kneading away.

"Mom, I'll massage your legs." Dorian toddled over, his little palms rubbing Thalassa's legs, his baby face filled with concentration.

Atticus and Sophia joined in too. Sophia worked with Elowen, one on each side, massaging Thalassa's back. Atticus teamed up with Dorian, each taking a leg.

Even though the kids' strength was far from enough to give a proper massage, Thalassa felt a warmth in her heart. Her fatigue was swept away, replaced by a sense of happiness.

"Thalassa, you're usually not this worn out from work. What happened?" Evelyn emerged from the kitchen, noticing her daughter's unusual state, she couldn't help but express concern.

While being pampered by her four children, Thalassa said to Evelyn, "I got to work today and found out everyone was talking about the CEO and his secretary. And somehow, the secretary claimed it was me who spread the rumors. I felt so wronged."

"Well, you should've explained. We can't just be blamed for no reason." Evelyn, who is usually quite strict with Thalassa and always pushing her to improve, is firm when it comes to principles and expects Thalassa to stand her ground as well.

Their family was honest and hardworking, they couldn't just be falsely accused.

Thalassa said, "I did explain. But yesterday when I was cleaning the CEO's office, I happened to see the secretary confessing her feelings to the CEO. She used that as a reason to accuse me of spreading rumors."

"That's tricky. You need to find proof to vindicate yourself." Evelyn also felt troubled.

The worst thing Thalassa could do now was to quit. If she did, it would look like she was guilty and had resigned, this would solidify the accusations of her spreading rumors.

Thalassa understood this. It was the reason she hadn't tendered her resignation.

"Today, while I was cleaning the CEO's office, I noticed there's a CCTV camera. It must've recorded me in the office yesterday. If there's a video, it would prove I didn't overhear their conversation. I'll ask the CEO to review the footage tomorrow and clear my name. Don't worry, mom." Thalassa said optimistically.

Even though Evelyn was often strict with her, Thalassa always felt comfortable sharing her problems with her mother. Because her mother was principled when it came to interpersonal relationships and worldly matters.

This was in line with Thalassa's own values.

"That's good, go wash your hands and get ready for dinner." Evelyn said.
