The Billionaire’s Secret Quartet novel Chapter 997

"Alright, fair enough. If you want to snag a catch like Lysander, you gotta have a game plan." Lucy conceded for her daughter’s safety.

Still, she harbored doubts and asked Thalassa, "Do you really mean to give up on Lysander, for the sake of your family?"

Thalassa paused. Her gaze shifted to Bruce.

Bruce looked away, his hand absentmindedly brushing his nose.

That gesture was a telltale sign of guilt.

Thalassa knew then that Bruce hadn’t confessed to Lucy his dirty secrets. He and his daughter were in cahoots while keeping Lucy in the dark.

"You might not be aware, but all I want is my children. Only if Susan wins Lysander over could I take my children away." Thalassa covered for Bruce once more, even as her heart trembled with rage.

Once she got rid of that damning footage, she was going to make Bruce pay his dues!

Lucy suddenly understood, and her confusion dissipated.

She had suspected Thalassa's motives. How could Thalassa give up on a good man like Lysander for Bruce, a father who shirked his responsibilities?

So, it was about the custody of the children. Thalassa, just like her mother, was foolish enough to forego wealth and status for her kids.

Indeed, these country women were stupid as such!

Lucy silently scoffed at Thalassa and her mother Evelyn.

"Thalassa, come and eat. These dishes were made just for you." Lucy said and picked up her fork and knife, ready to serve Thalassa some food.
