The Billionaire’s Secret Quartet (Thalassa and Elowen)

Chapter 675
“If you find it too much of a hassle, I’ll cut you in for two billion dollars after I have my hands on the three billion. Then you can
buy your own house, even two if you want,” Thalassa grasped the chance and pressed on him.
Bruce’s interest was piqued upon hearing the two billion dollars, yet he couldn’t shake off the feeling of risk.
Making the house under Thalassa’s name felt like he was buying that for her.
But the lure of two billion was too tempting to let go.
“Give me some more time to think about it...” Bruce said.
Thalassa was instantly irked, “So you’re not willing? You don’t trust me, do you? And you claimed to only have my mom and me
in your heart. That was a lie, wasn’t it? I should’ve never believed you when you said you’d divorce your wife and marry my
mom. I shouldn’t have given the card to my mom and let her give it to you without a second thought! You lack even the basic
trust. Let me tell you something, Lysander asked me yesterday if I’ve spent all the money, I told him yes, but didn’t disclose what
for. Given his nature, he’d definitely look into where the money went.
I’m asking you to temporarily put the house under my name not only because I want to continue getting the three billion from
Lysander, but also for your sake. If Lysander finds out that this billion-dollar house is under your name, what do you think he’d
do? He’ll bankrupt the seller and leave you with neither the house nor the money.
But if he finds out that the house is under my name, he’d stop there and keep providing me with money. By the time I get the
money, I’d transfer the house to your name, and he’d never find out. If you’re unwilling, then forget it. Let Lysander investigate by
himself.”
With that, Thalassa hung up, fuming.
She ended the call to make Bruce realize that she was truly angry.
From what she’d observed of Bruce over time, he was self-centered and opportunistic. He wouldn’t easily let go of money within
his grasp.
She was gambling on Bruce’s greed.
After hanging up, Thalassa set her phone on the table and waited.

Bruce was still dreaming of the two billion dollars on the other end. It was so sudden that Thalassa got angry and called it off.
He was torn.
He wanted to continue pleasing Thalassa, but was also reluctant to put the house under her name.
Just as he was indecisive, questioning the truth behind Thalassa’s words, the estate agent called.
Bruce hastily answered, “Are we going to complete the property transfer, sir?”
“No, there’s a problem. We just got word that the housing authority’s system is down. They’re investigating all the buyers who
paid for their houses the night before last. It seems like the Sinclair group is involved. I wonder who’s offended someone from the
Sinclair group.”
Hearing this, Bruce was taken aback. Thalassa had just mentioned that Lysander might look into where the billion went, and now
the Sinclair group was investigating those who bought houses the night before last!
Apparently, Thalassa was right. Lysander would definitely probe into the billion!
If Lysander found out that the house was under his name, he would be in deep trouble. Just like Thalassa said, he might end up
with neither the money nor the house.
Bruce promptly hung up and called Thalassa again.
Thalassa, who had been waiting at the table, didn’t pick up immediately when her phone rang. She let it ring for a while before
answering just as it was about to stop.
“What are you calling for now?” She asked.
