The Billionaire’s Secret Quartet (Thalassa and Elowen)

Chapter 881
Payton was heartbroken and baffled, unable to comprehend why Leopold had chosen such a path.
His death had left the deepest wound on his own family.
After Leopold was gone, Amelia had begged Lysander on her knees not to expose Leopold’s errors in the bombing incident.
She’d pleaded that he preserve Leopold’s last shred of dignity.
Lysander, swallowing his own sorrow, had agreed. He’d announced to the press that the accident had been the result of a lapse
in judgement by Leossa Electronics, a subsidiary of the Sinclair Group.
Zephyr hadn’t objected to Lysander’s approach.
All Lysander had hoped for was that Leopold would have the courage to admit his mistakes so that the Sinclair family could help
him resolve the issue.
Who could have predicted that Leopold would rather take his own life than confess that he’d planned the whole incident?
Lysander was heartbroken and tortured.
“You!” Amelia’s face changed instantly when Payton brought up the subject. She shot him a sharp glare, grinding her teeth as
she spoke. “Shut up, Payton. Don’t ever talk about this again. Leopold is dead! You show no sympathy for him, always tarnishing
his name! Are you really his father?”
Full of anger and sorrow, Amelia stormed off the party after her harsh words, leaving Payton with a heavy sigh. As a
businessman approached with a donation, Payton quickly adjusted his demeanor to greet him.
Zephyr had called Lysander to the conference room..
Zephyr sat in his chair, the weariness evident in his eyes as Lysander took a seat next to him.
“I know you insisted on checking the surveillance footage to prove Thalassa’s innocence. You didn’t even know the full story, and
were you so sure that the bracelet wasn’t stolen by Thalassa?”
Zephyr could see the protective streak Lysander had for Thalassa.

He feared that Lysander was falling for Thalassa, just like his father had fallen for a woman he shouldn’t have loved. He was
afraid that Thalassa might be a person of questionable character.
What would be the consequences of such love?
Zephyr didn’t dare to imagine.
“I had my suspicions about her stealing before, but the reality is, even in her poverty, she hasn’t stolen anything,” Lysander
calmly responded to Zephyr.
First, there was Faye, who had framed Thalassa for stealing plans to sell to other companies, and then Isabella, who had
accused Thalassa of stealing the dragon pendant.
Indeed, Lysander had initially suspected Thalassa, thinking that she might be involved.
But the truth had proven that Thalassa had never stolen anything. She had been framed all along.
Why would she return the money to him, if she was interested in ill-gotten wealth? Even when he refused to accept it, she had
used David to ensure the money made its way back to the Sinclair Group.
Faced with such a sum, she had never shown any desire to possess it. Would she risk everything for a bracelet worth less than
$100 million dollars?
It was Thalassa’s integrity that made Lysander believe that she wasn’t the thief.
Zephyr’s heart sank with Lysander’s resolute response. He had a bad feeling about where this was heading.
“Lysander, tell me truthfully, do you have/feelings for Thalassa?” This time, Zephyr asked directly.
