The Billionaire’s Secret Quartet (Thalassa and Elowen)

Chapter 44
The truth was, Faye transferred all five million dollars to Isabella.
Isabella eavesdropped on Faye’s phone call and found out that Faye mistakenly claimed that the woman who had a past with
Lysander was dead.
But the only woman who had a past with Lysander was Thalassa!
Faye just couldn’t let Lysander know about it.
Isabella threatened Faye with this, saying she would spill the beans if Faye didn’t cough up the cash.
So Faye handed over the whole five million to Isabella to keep her trap shut
Over the past five years, due to this secret, Isabella kept shaking Faye down for money
This time, when Lysander asked Faye to dig up info on that woman, she immediately rang up Isabella, telling her to cook up a
seemingly legit and foolproof profile and get it into the boss’s office
Isabella’s timing was spot on, any delay, and Lysander would have known Thalassa’s real identity.
With Faye and Isabella’s stories adding up, Lysander didn’t smell a rat, but he was puzzled: “That family only has three people
left. With three million bucks, how could they be strapped for cash?”
Why would Thalassa have to steal and resort to fraud?
Isabella had her answer ready. She coolly told Lysander, “Mr. Sinclair, you might not know that Thalassas mother, also known as
Evelyn, is a gambling junkie, she can lose a fortune overnight Three million bucks is peanuts to her. And poor Thalassa, all the
money she cleverly earned was blown by her mother. I offered her a job at my company out of pity. But she made less dough
there than at the Sinclair Group; maybe that s why she hid her identity. preferring to pull a fast one on the Sinclair Group just to
keep her job here Mr. Sinclair, please don’t hold it against her. After all, shes got a tough life.”
To make it more believable, Isabella even pretended to put in a good word for Thalassa and plead her case in front of Lysander.
After all, if she came across as kind-hearted and friendly Lysander might buy her story.

If Lysander started to smell a rat and decided to dig deeper, that would be bad news.
After all, Celia did exist and did pass away, but she drowned in a village pond when she was three not killed by a falling object.
And she died a long time ago, not five years ago.
If Lysander dug deeper, he would find holes in the story.
Lysander was a bit worn out so he waved them off, “Got it, you can all take a hike now”
Isabella nodded slightly. She was the first to leave the boss’s office
David also left.
Faye stayed and she asked, “Mr. Sinclair, Thalassa has been working at the Sinclair group with a fake ID card, that’s fraud. I’ll
fire her right away and call the cops
She had to get rid of Thalassa from Lysander’s life completely to have peace of mind.
Lysander barely lifted his eyelids, looking lazy and tired. “No need, just have her correct her identity info,”
Faye felt a sinking feeling in her heart and asked urgently, “Why?”
Why was it that despite all the bad things Thalassa did, Lysander still wouldn’t fire her?
Mr. Sinclair once said, A lowly cleaner was not worth making a fuss about, if they fired her, they would have to find a
replacement, and that’s too much hassle. Faye thought this reason was acceptable.
After all, a clearer was indeed a small fry.
But the situation was different now, the cleaner had character issues, and quite serious ones at that
Mr. Sinclair always had no patience, even a strong aversion to people with bad character.
But why was he still unwilling to fire Thalassa?
Did he have a soft spot for Thalassa?
Faye felt anxious, and resentment started to build up.
