Chapter 1300
The chances of marrying Lysander were pretty high if the woman was recognized
by Zephyr.
Susan couldn't mask her disappointment as she realized her moment of playing
the heroine had all been for naught. She had imagined herself basking in
Lysander’s affection, standing proudly by his side for all to see in the future.
Even if she didn’t end up marrying him, becoming his lady like Thalassa seemed
pretty likely. But before Lysander could even utter a word, Zephyr had shot her
down.
The higher Susan's hopes had soared, the deeper her spirits now plunged.
She was fuming, and she wasn’t about to let Thalassa off the hook. She spitefully
reminded Thalassa that her days of bliss were numbered, that Lysander would
soon marry another woman.
Thalassa snapped out of her daze, her melancholic gaze sharpening as she
glared at Susan. “Save your pity for yourself. After all you've schemed, all you got
was just a medical bill,” she spat out before storming out of the ward.
“You-argh!” Susan choked on her anger. The previous slap from Thalassa
combined with the stinging words, sent her into a fury. She grabbed the bouquet
from the bedside table and hurled it to the ground, screaming at the top of her
lungs.
“Susan, calm down,” Lucy pleaded, trying to soothe her daughter.
Bruce's face was like thunder. He had thought his daughter was about to
transform from a nobody into a phoenix. Now all they had got a mere coverage of
the medical expense! His plans to cash in crumbled, and how could he not be
angry?
Meanwhile, Ethan found the whole spectacle rather amusing.
What a bunch of phonies, he thought to himself. They flip-flopped faster than
actors in play, changing their tune to suit whoever they faced. He had never seen
such hypocrisy up close.
“Susan did save Lysander. It's only right that he covers the medical fees,” Ethan
remarked nonchalantly before following Thalassa out.
The family was left seething at Ethan’s words, their cheeks burning with
humiliation.
“Damn it!” Susan exclaimed, tossing a pillow violently to the floor, her face
twisted with
rage.
Lucy continued to pat her back soothingly. “Susan, try to stay calm, dear. You're
still injured, and the doctor said you need rest. Don’t do anything rash that might
worsen your wounds.”

The injury on Susan's shoulder blade could easily tear open if she wasn't careful.
But she couldn't swallow the bitterness of defeat, turning to her mother in
frustration. “Didn’t you hear what Thalassa and Ethan said? I saved Lysander
and got nothing but just the hospital bill!”
And she might be left with a big scar on her back.

“Didn't Zephyr leave a bodyguard to
protect you?” Lucy tried to offer some
solace. “I know that damned
Thalassa is infuriating, and I'm angry
too. But we need to keep our cool for
now. Lysander is already having
doubts about Thalassa. Their
relationship is fragile and ready to
break. That's when you make The

your move.”
Seeing her daughter slapped by Thalassa and then rejected by Zephyr, Lucy was
livid.
But what could they do? They had no choice but to bide their time and wait for
another opportunity.

“Your mom's right, Susan. You still
have a chance. With Lysander's
bodyguard here, you can reach out to
Lysander through him. Having a
bodyguard is a privilege, one that
even Thalassa doesn't have. So,
you're still in the game,” Bruce finally
regained his composure. Though
Lucy was known for her fiery temper
and wasn't one to back down from a

That was a big reason why, despite
his disdain for Lucy, Bruce had never
gone through with a divorce.
Sometimes, her suggestions were so
