The Billionaire’s Secret Quartet (Thalassa and Elowen)

Chapter 365
Evelyn had called her earlier, but she hadn’t picked up. And Evelyn didn’t call back.
She had no idea where Evelyn and the kids were or how they were doing.
She called back.
It only rang once before it was picked up. To her surprise, Evelyn didn’t start with her usual rant about her being a reckless child.
Instead, her tone was calm and low, a’s if weary, “What’s your excuse this time for ignoring my call? Did you trick me and the
kids into leaving so you could handle some big issue on your own?”
Thalassa felt a pang of guilt. The situation was urgent at the time, and she didn’t have time to explain much to Evelyn. All she
could do was ask her to cooperate and take the kids back home quickly.
Knowing that Evelyn would be worried about Astrid, she had lied, saying Astrid was in the hospital.
By now, Evelyn and the kids must have reached their countryside home.
Thalassa was under the control of Lysander, who had treated her horribly last night!!
Despite her unwillingness, she couldn’t escape the destiny of being Lysander’s mistress, a woman he kept hidden from the
world.
She felt bitter and wronged.
And now, her beloved mother was angrily questioning her.
The bitterness in her heart deepened, as if she had swallowed a bitter pill.
With a low voice, she asked, “Mom, how’s Aunt Astrid doing?
“Thanks to you, she’s still tough. Now answer my question.” Evelyn didn’t scold her, but rather spoke softly:
Thalassa was used to her mother’s loud and domineering tone. But now, Evelyn’s soft tone made Thalassa feel uneasy, sparking
a sense of fear that something terrible had happened.

“Mom, I thought you and the kids haven’t seen Aunt Astrid in a while and might want to visit her. Since Hertha was also there,
she could help, and that’s why I asked you guys to go back. It was late at night, and I was afraid you wouldn’t want to leave, so I
made up a reason.”
“Keep lying!” Evelyn cut through her lies mercilessly. “Are you with Lysander again? Did you worry he would find out about your
four kids, despise you, and reject you? Is that why you hurried us away, to clear the ground for you and Lysander?” Evelyn’s
voice was soft, but the accusation was clear.
Hearing Evelyn revert to her usual tone, Thalassa somehow felt relieved.
Hearing Evelyn’s words, Thalassa cautiously asked, “Did Hertha tell you?”
Thankfully, Evelyn didn’t know that Lysander was the father of her children. Otherwise, she would have gone after Lysander right
away.
“Don’t blame her. She only told me under pressure.” Evelyn defended Hertha.
Thalassa immediately understood. Hertha had given in to Evelyn’s interrogation and revealed some truths about her and
Lysander.
“Mom, my situation with Lysander is complicated. I’ll explain everything when I get back. You have to understand that Lysander is
powerful. If he gets upset, it could harm you and the kids. You wouldn’t want our little ones locked up without food or water,
would you?”
“What? Lysander would do that to your kids?” Evelyn was shocked.
“Yep, he doesn’t like children. He finds them noisy, Thalassa said.
“Then why are you still with him? He looks down on you, won’t marry you, and doesn’t like your kids. Why are you still dating
him?” Evelyn was agitated.
Thalassa felt helpless, “I wish I weren’t. But he’s a powerful capitalist, and we ordinary people are no match for him.”
“He’s forcing you?” Evelyn’s heart tightened in fear and concern for Thalassa.
“Mom, it’s complex. I can’t explain everything over the phone.”

As Thalassa was explaining, the door behind her opened, and a chilling and icy aura flew in.
The air seemed to ripple, and a low pressure engulfed the room.
Thalassa froze as she turned around to see a tall, imposing man walk in, his shadow looming over her.
Her heart skipped a beat.
