The Billionaire’s Secret Quartet

Thalassa towers over Isabella, who always tries to even the score by strutting around in high heels. But

right now, she was just rolled out of bed, barefoot and all, looking a bit shorter next to Thalassa in her fl

ats.

Also, Thalassa was used to doing the grunt work, so she had got some serious muscle.

With ease, she grabbed Isabella.

Isabella didn’t see it coming. She’s knocked off her feet

and gets a solid slap across the face. Her head’s spinning, her face throbbing with pain

She turned her head around, glaring at Thalassa, “You dare to hit me?”

Isabella tried to pull herself up, but Thalassa pinned down her thrashing arms and slapped her other ch

eek.

Panting. Thalassa snapped, “Those slaps are to make sure you get my point!”

Isabella still playing dumb!

After everything she had done to hurt her and she played innocent. Well, if she didn’t listen, maybe a sl

ap in the face would do the trick!

Five years ago, Isabella tricked Thalassa into fetching firewood from the shed and locked her in. Then

she took off to get busy with

her boyfriend, leaving Thalassa to be taken advantage of by a stranger named Lysander.

She deserved a slap! Those two slaps were five years overdue!

But slapping Isabella didn’t extinguish Thalassa’s rage.

Isabella’s head was knocked to one side, and the burning pain in one cheek hadn’t even subsided whe

n the other cheek got a slap. The doubled pain was unbearable.

Isabella was scared out of her wits, her breath coming in ragged gasps. The pain is so intense she coul

dn’t move. She closed her eyes, trying to numb the pain. Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

Seeing her silent, Thalassa angrily shoved Isabella aside, “Next time I catch you scheming against me,

a slap won’t be the only thing you’ll get!”

With that, Thalassa turned and left.

Isabella lied on the bed, both cheeks swollen and throbbing. She gingerly touched them, winces at the

pain, and quickly put her hand

away.

She was so angry that it felt like her chest was a going to explode. Tears welled up in her eyes, her gaz

e full of malice. She screamed in a suppressed voice.

“Thalassa! You bitch, just you wait!”

Back home, Thalassa told Evelyn, “Tomorrow we’re off to Starhaven. The day after tomorrow, I start wo

rk.”

Before Evelyn could chat with Thalassa, she had already headed into her room, shutting the door behin

d her.

Thalassa leaned against the door, her tension collapsing into a wave of bitterness and sorrow. Tears w

elled up in her eyes and streamed down her face.

She was crying for the past five years of grievances.

Even if she did teach Isabella a lesson, it wouldn’t bring back those lost five years, or give her children

a single day of fatherly love.. From the bottom of her heart, she felt sorry for her four children.

In the past, she thought it was her fault for losing the emerald pendant and leaving the kids without a fa

ther.

At first, she was full of confidence, believing that if she found the pendant, she could find their father an

d reunite them.

No matter how tough life got, she faced it with optimism, believing she would one day find their father.

She wanted her children to experience a father’s love.

But now, even though she had found their father, he was not interested in them.

Her belief that finding their father would bring them love had shattered.

It felt like her world was collapsing, leaving her powerless and in pain, filled with a sense of injustice.

“Mommy…” Atticus woke up on the bed, rubbing his sleepy eyes, and called for Thalassa with his childl

ike voice.
