The Billionaire’s Secret Quartet (Thalassa and Elowen)

Chapter 1321
Evelyn was rattled, her emotions raw as she wrenched herself away from David's
grasp, tears brimming in her eyes as she glared at him. “I won't go, I refuse to set
foot in the police station. Don't you dare try to stop me!”
With those words, she made to leave.
But David was quick, stepping in front of her to block her path. Seeing her in
such a frantic state, he tried to soothe her fears. “Ms. Pendleton, you've got it all
wrong. Mr. Sinclair isn’t sending you to the slammer. He just needs you to testify.”
A flicker of panic gave way to confusion in Evelyn's tearful gaze. “Testify?” she
asked, incredulous. “To what?"
“About Bruce's fraud,” David clarified.
The realization that she wasn't being carted off to jail calmed Evelyn
considerably, and she followed David into the police station.
Inside the precinct, Captain Payne was briefing Lysander on the Bruce case.
“We've practically got him nailed for money laundering. He's conned a fair share
of women over the years, amassing a small fortune by illicit means and then
plowing that money into the stock market, looking to double it. Money laundering
through investment. But to nail him for fraud, we're going to need a witness to
attest where that cash really came from.”
As Captain Payne laid out the situation to Lysander, Evelyn caught Lysander’s
piercing gaze. It sent a shiver down her spine, a mix of dread and panic seizing
her.
Evelyn was usually assertive at home in Thalassa’s presence, but she found
herself shrinking away outside of it, especially under Lysander’s intimidating
stare. She felt her courage crumbling to dust.
She could barely hold his gaze for a second before she quickly looked away,
unable to withstand the pressure of his scrutiny.
“She’s the witness,” Lysander’s voice cut through the tension with a chilly edge.
Captain Payne turned to Evelyn, his tone matter-of-fact. “Please come with me.
We need to get your statement.”
Though Captain Payne spoke softly, the inherent authority in his voice still made
Evelyn flinch. She looked helplessly at David.
David nodded at her reassuringly. “It's okay, just tell them what you know, that's
all.”
Taking a deep breath to steady her nerves, Evelyn followed Captain Payne into
the interrogation room.

The room was dim, with a single harsh light hanging over the table creating an
ominous atmosphere. Evelyn sat down, her body tense with anxiety. She had
never faced such a situation in her life, and it was a true test of her mental
resolve.
Captain Payne sat across from her, a notebook in hand, a recorder set up on the
table.
Once Evelyn seemed ready, Captain Payne began. “You knew Bruce, right?"
Evelyn nodded, her voice barely above a whisper. “Yes, I knew him.”
“And what was the nature of your relationship?” Captain Payne's voice remained
even.
