The Billionaire’s Secret Quartet (Thalassa and Elowen)

Chapter 777
Hertha nodded, her face a picture of regret, “I later realized I had been too loose-lipped. I tried telling him that I was just talking
nonsense and that he should move on because you are doing so well. It’s like he didn’t hear a word I said.”
Thalassa rubbed her forehead, understanding now why Leopold had spoken as he did earlier.
So, he thought she was still holding onto him.
“Thalassa, I’m so sorry. I know I messed up. You can yell at me or hit me. I promise I won’t spill the beans next time. I won’t tell
anyone what you’ve told me in confidence.”
Hertha was filled with guilt. She took Thalassa’s hand and smacked her own arm with it a few times, indicating that Thalassa
should
blame her and hit her.
Thalassa grabbed her hand. She was about to say something before she sighed, “Forget it. You were just drunk. Just try not to
drink so much next time.”
“I know. I love you so much, Thalassa. Even when I mess up, you still care for me,” Hertha wrapped her arms around Thalassa
as she fawned.
Thalassa couldn’t help but shake her head with a smile. That day she also tried to make Leopold understand that he should let
go, look ahead, and fall in love with someone else. She hoped he’d get the message.
A week later, Leossa Electronics delivered their products on time.
Leopold, and his team checked the goods without objections and marked the end of the collaboration with the Crawley Group.
Thalassa was busy for the whole week. She had been constantly going back and forth between the Crawley Group and Leossa
Electronics.
After the collaboration ended, Ethan gave Thalassa a day off. She didn’t need to come to work the next day.
Thalassa, who had been on edge for a week, finally got to relax.

She went to the restroom to wash her face. Looking in the mirror, she saw two dark lines on her neck. She stretched her neck to
wash it, finding it hard to clean with her necklace on. She took off her necklace and placed it aside, then cupped some water to
rinse her neck.
After washing, she dried her neck with a paper towel and left the restroom, completely forgetting her necklace on the counter.
Just as Thalassa left, Betty walked out of the stall and saw the necklace on the counter.
She picked it up, recognizing it as the necklace Thalassa often wore!
Betty knew luxury brands. This necklace was a limited edition from a renowned brand. She had seen it in a magazine, and it was
worth a fortune.
She had always thought Thalassa was wearing a fake, but holding it now, it was clearly genuine!
How could a junior secretary afford such an expensive necklace?
She must have hooked up with someone influential, someone who bought her this necklace!
Could it be Mr. Ethan?
At this thought, Betty’s eyes flashed with jealousy and resentment.
She clenched her fist around the necklace and slipped it into her pocket!
When it was time to leave work in the afternoon, Thalassa stood up from her chair and stretched her sore neck. As she
massaged her neck, she noticed the absence of her necklace,
She looked down to find her necklace missing!
Thalassa’s heart pounded in panic. She remembered taking it off in the restroom and forgetting to put it back on.
She hurried to the restroom, but the counter was empty, and the necklace was nowhere to be found. She even checked the trash
bin but found nothing.
What could she do? The necklace was a gift from Lysander, who had asked her never to take it off!

Thalassa shuddered at the thought of his reaction if Lysander found out that she had not only taken off the necklace but also lost
it. Fear and panic clouded Thalassa’s mind, leaving her in a state of shock.
