The Billionaire’s Secret Quartet

When Lysander spoke, Thalassa went from feeling innocent to all sorts of tense and jumpy.

If she couldn’t explain things clearly, she might be up the creek without a paddle.

In a nap, she blurted out, “I didn’t swipe this, my neighbor Greta said she found it and was planning to

give it back to me. I lost the exact same emerald pendant five years ago, everyone in the neighborhood

knew about it. When Greta said she found my missing emerald pendant, I rushed back from Starhaven.

I even gave her $300 as gratitude, But I didn’t know this emerald pendant was a phony.”

Despite her jumbled words, Lysander caught the important bits.

His eyes grew colder and filled with suspicion, “You’re saying you lost a real emerald pendant?”

A nearby cop was all at sea. The emerald pendant was clearly real. He was stumped.

Thalassa nodded frantically, her eyes welling up with innocent tears, her lips trembling slightly, she said

in a hurt tone, “Yes, I lost a real one five years ago, I never found it.”

Lysander’s heart rate suddenly picked up, he pulled Thalassa close and lifted her chin with his finger,

forcing her to look directly at him, into his eyes.

His icy gaze bore into her, not missing a single flicker of her expression, “Was the one you lost your

cousin Celia’s emerald pendant?” Content held by NôvelDrama.Org.

Thalassa shook her head, “No, it was mine. A man gave me that emerald pendant Celia passed away

where she was three or four.” When he heard this, Lysander felt like he’d been struck by lightning, just

like that stormy, rain-soaked night five years ago. He was thrilled, excited, passionate, and shocked.

He stared at Thalassa’s clear and sparkling eyes, her petite face, and her cherry-like lips, everything

felt so familiar, so natural.

No wonder he felt a deep sense of familiarity the first time he saw her

Her scent, the feel of her skin, even her bite felt exactly the same!

So, she was the woman he was with five years ago!

Thalassa stared into his deep eyes, it seemed like there were stars twinkling in them, and a kind of

inexplicable shock and deep emotion, which made her feel a bit panicky. She stammered, ‘Mr. Sinclair,

what’s up with you?”

Lysander kept his gaze on her, his hand letting go of her chin, saying, “I’m bailing her out. As for the

truth about the emerald pendant theft, it’ll be at the police station by this afternoon at the latest”

That was for the cop.

The cop was a bit torn, about to refuse, but David showed him some kind of ID.

Thalassa didn’t get a good look at what it was, but she saw the cop become very respectful after

seeing it.

“Alright, we’ll release her right away.”

Thalassa’s handcuffs were removed, and after some necessary paperwork, she followed Lysander out

of the police station.

Both times she was brought to the police station, it was Lysander who helped her out.

Though both times she was misunderstood and wronged, if no one helped her clear things up, she

would definitely be behind bars. Both times, it was Lysander who helped clear her name. She felt

wronged but also extremely grateful.

What upset her were the constant set-ups and false accusations. Raising four kids on her own, she

already had her plate full with work. With the added stress of being constantly wronged, even the most

optimistic and resilient person would feel worn out

When she was at her lowest and most helpless, Lysander’s appearance gave her hope.

For a moment, her emotions became complicated, filled with sentiment.

She caught up with Lysander’s pace, quickly following behind him, saying, “Mr. Sinclair, thank you. We

only met by chance, but you’ve gone above and beyond to help me. I don’t know how to thank you

enough. How much does the mansion you’re building for me cost? Once I’ve saved enough, 111 pay

you back slowly.”

Lysander suddenly stopped, Thalassa also stopped in her tracks.
