The Billionaire’s Secret Quartet (Thalassa and Elowen)

Chapter 536
The little ones were eager and overjoyed at the prospect of seeing their mother soon. They scurried towards the exit with
lightning-fast steps.
But as they neared the door, the path was blocked by two towering figures.
Sophia, who was leading the pack, could not halt her steps in time. She crashed into one of the bodyguards, who managed to
catch her in time, reducing the impact so that she did not fall. The other three tumbled into the mix, creating a pile of excited
children. It was a near-disaster, but the brawny bodyguards were able to prevent any serious mishaps by each catching two
children in their arms.
“Let go! Our mom is waiting for us outside. She’ll be upset if she has to wait too long,” pleaded Dorian, struggling in the arms of
the bodyguard. His young, sweet voice was full of longing
and concern.
The bodyguards did not release the children but instead turned to Lysander for guidance.
Lysander did not respond immediately. So, the bodyguards stayed their course. Atticus furrowed in frustration. He also looked to
Lysander, awaiting his decision.
Just as Lysander was about to speak, his cell phone rang. It was a call from Zephyr.
As soon as he answered the call, Zephyr’s voice, deep and filled with suppressed irritation, came through. “Lysander, the three
months we agreed on are up. What are you planning to do about your relationship with Thalassa?”
During the observance of Lysander’s parents’ memorial, Zephyr and Lysander had agreed to allow Lysander three months to
understand Thalassa better. If Thalassa proved to be a good match for Lysander, Zephyr would support their union fully.
But if Thalassa turned out to be a manipulative gold-digger, Lysander was to sever all ties with her.
That day marked the end of those three months.
Upon hearing that, Lysander’s calm demeanor darkened considerably. “I will handle it,” he assured Zephyr.

“I just got off the phone with the top brass at the company. The Sinclair Group has been hit by a cyber attack, with a million
dollars transferred into Thalassa’s account. You haven’t recovered the money or shown up at the office. Lysander, I don’t want to
see you repeating your father’s mistakes. Some bonds are meant to be broken,” Zephyr cautioned, his voice filled with genuine
concern for Lysander and disappointment in Thalassa.
Lysander clenched his jaw, and his face grew darker.
Zephyr continued, his voice breaking with anger and frustration. “I’ve heard from your aunt that Thalassa is your nephew
Leopold’s ex-girlfriend. She’s been stringing him along even after their breakup, even managing to obtain a family heirloom
meant for his wife. Leopold is completely under her spell. She’s playing both sides and even made off with a chunk of money!
How is she any different from Belinda? Lysander, I trust you’ll handle this properly. The Sinclair family cannot afford another
Belinda. Hasn’t your father suffered enough?”
Lysander gripped his phone tightly. The veins on the back of his hand were bulging. His face was as dark as a stormy sea.
“I won’t forget our agreement. Don’t worry,” he reassured Zephyr before hanging up.
He looked up to meet the questioning gaze of the bodyguards, as well as the hopeful, bright-eyed stares of the four little ones.
Their eyes were twinkling, full of anticipation of meeting their mother.
Lysander gritted his teeth and declared sternly, “Go back and change your clothes. We’re off to a new preschool.”
Their eyes, previously shining with anticipation, were immediately filled with disappointment.
Elowen’s big, bright eyes welled up with tears and she began to pout.
Sophia let out a loud wail.
Dorian stiffened. His whole body was tense with anger and his breath came in short, sharp gasps.
Atticus, utterly desolate, began to struggle vigorously in the arms of the bodyguard, no longer caring about following any rules.
