The Billionaire’s Secret Quartet (Thalassa and Elowen)

Chapter 543
An additional hundred thousand was a severance package from her termination.
So how come there was a billion?
Maybe it was a clerical error from the Sinclair group, mistaking one hundred thousand for a billion and one hundred thousand?
Thalassa was stunned, she quickly checked her bank account transaction history.
The hundred thousand was deposited into her account today.
A billion, however, was deposited yesterday afternoon.
She had turned off her phone as she was escaping with her children yesterday afternoon. So she didn’t have time to check her
phone.
Today, after turning her phone back on, she was so focused on seeing her children that she didn’t bother checking her
messages.
But when she did, she almost had a heart attack.
She was both puzzled and incredulous.
How did a billion end up in her account yesterday afternoon?
Who had transferred it to her?
Could it be Lysander?
A light bulb went on in Thalassa’s head as she suddenly remembered what Lysander said last night about buying her maternal
rights for a billion.
At that time, she thought he meant something different, that he’d never let her see the kids again.
She thought she still had the chance to negotiate. She was going to say that she didn’t need money; instead, she needed the
visitation rights.

But she never expected that Lysander had already deposited a billion into her account yesterday afternoon.
She no longer had the right to negotiate.
Maybe he had already prepared to buy out her maternal rights after figuring out the four kids were his?
Without her approval, he had transferred the money into her account.
Did she ever say she wanted a billion?
And did he think he could trade her kids with a billion?
Could children be measured by money?
Was he treating the kids like merchandise?
Thalassa felt wronged, her chest heaving with anger and her eyes welling up with tears.
“Thalassa, are you okay? Is the severance package too hard to accept?” The receptionist asked on seeing Thalassa’s distress.
Clutching her phone tightly. Thalassa tried to maintain her composure and responded, “I’m fine. I’m just overwhelmed by the
generous severance package.”
Her words were cheerful, but her pale face was defying her words.
After speaking, she quickly walked out of the Sinclair group building.
The receptionist watched her leave, puzzled.
If she was happy, why did she look so upset?
Thalassa tried calling Lysander several times, but no one answered.
Lysander was clearly determined to ignore her and leave her with ways to go.
Thalassa was frantically pacing with no solution in sight. She was like a cat on hot bricks.
The afternoon arrived in the blink of an eye.

After work, Hertha showed up at Vibrant Oasis Residences, “Hello, kiddos, Hertha’s brought you your favorite egg tarts, fried
chicken, cola...” Hertha’s cheerful voice filled the living room, but no little ones came to greet her.
Usually, as soon as she arrived and called out, the children would waddle over to her like little bear cubs, surrounding her and
buzzing around her. Today, however, it was strangely quiet.
Curious, Hertha walked towards the bedrooms, opened one door, and saw Evelyn sitting at her desk. Her head was hanging low
and she looked lost.
She opened another door and saw Thalassa sitting on the bed, her dark circles so prominent it looked like she was a panda; her
look was desolate and sorrowful. Seeing this, Hertha blinked in confusion, “Thalassa, what’s wrong with you and Evelyn? Where
are the kids? Haven’t you picked them up from preschool yet?”
