The Billionaire’s Secret Quartet (Thalassa and Elowen)

Chapter 1358
Susan stepped away from the cold, marble gravestones, her heart heavy with
loss. Yet as she dialed Callum’s number, a sly smile played at the corners of her
lips, her grief momentarily displaced by a cunning ploy.
“Mr. Gordon, how have you been holding up?” she cooed into the phone, her
voice dripping with feigned concern.
“Cut to the chase,” came Callum’s icy reply.
Their relationship was strictly business. There was no warmth there. If Susan
was calling, she wanted something. Empty pleasantries were useless to him, and
he had no desire to hear them.
Susan didn’t bother with any more niceties. She laughed and said pointedly, “We
had an agreement, didn’t we? To drive a wedge between Lysander and Thalassa.
That goal has been achieved. Do you have any idea what I had to sacrifice to
make that happen?”
“I'm all ears,” Callum responded, his tone as flat as a pancake.
Susan's fists clenched until her knuckles turned white. She fought to hold back
the rage and sorrow as she said, “My parents are dead. It's because I showed
Lysander and Thalassa those incriminating files my dad had hoarded. Lysander
flipped and had my dad thrown in jail. Then Thalassa’s mother testified, sealing
my dad's fate with accusations of fraud and money laundering. He was fast-
tracked to the electric chair, and my mom... she couldn't handle his death; she
followed him to the grave.
“Oh, congrats on reaching your goal,” Callum said with a hollow indifference that
stu Susan to the core.
Human emotions, Susan realized bitterly, are not universal. Her agony was
nothing b passing tale to Callum, an insignificant blip void of any real impact.
Callum couldn't possibly understand her heartache and loss. Even though she
had paid dearly, to him, it was all just part of the game.
Susan took several deep breaths to steady herself and quell the turmoil within.
She quickly regained her composure and said calmly, “Even though Lysander
and Thalassa have split, I'm still no closer to Lysander. It's unfair, and I can't
stand it.”
“That's your problem, not mine,” Callum said, about to disconnect the call.
Anticipating his hang-up, Susan hurriedly blurted out, “Mr. Gordon! I need your
help. If you turn me down, I'll spill the beans to Thalassa. I'll tell her about our
little scheme to ruin her relationship with Lysander. Considering how stubborn
she is, do you think she'll ever forgive you once she finds out what you've done
behind her back?”
Susan knew Callum had followed Thalassa to Eldoria. She didn’t know exactly

transpired between them there, but Thalassa’s coldness to Lysander upon her
return was telling enough. Something unpleasant must have happened in
Eldoria, and Callum was involved.
It was because of Callum that Thalassa’s image of Lysander had been tainted,
allowing
Susan the chance to fan the flames of Thalassa's resentment.
