The Billionaire’s Secret Quartet novel Chapter 1210

Hearing Bruce's venomous threat, Thalassa felt a lump of air trapped in her chest, anger tensing her entire body. She clenched her teeth and spat out, "Bruce, I've recorded this call. You threaten me again and I swear I'll see you behind bars for good!"

She was immensely relieved that she had asked Atticus to hack into Bruce's phone and computer, eradicating the disgusting videos he had taken.

Otherwise, Bruce, that rabid dog, would truly scatter those videos everywhere!

Bruce was fuming, his blood boiling. The two hundred thousand he had painstakingly gathered had vanished in a matter of days. Now, his family of three had barely two hundred thousand to their name!

For someone who once flaunted assets in the hundreds of millions, this financial decimation was a cataclysmic blow, especially for someone as greedy and avaricious as Bruce!

He was desperate to recoup his losses.

The first person he thought to squeeze was Thalassa, for some quick cash.

He had assumed that with leverage over her, she would be easy to manipulate. But to his surprise, Thalassa stood her ground, utterly unfazed by his threats and even dared to intimidate him!

Furious, Bruce snarled, "Thalassa, you dare talk to me like that? Are you not worried that I'll release the videos of your mother on the bed? Letting everyone see just how loud she screams, how wanton she is!"

Thalassa felt her skin crawl with revulsion, the urge to vomit overwhelming her.

How could such a vile creature, a lowlife, not drop dead?

Shaking with rage, Thalassa retorted, "Bruce, I haven't even reported your last kidnapping stunt to the cops, and that's been the last shred of mercy from me. You want money, go beg your daughter for it! I'm not your daughter, so stop calling me!"

If she were to report him, Bruce would turn on her completely, lashing out in rage. He would surely expose the affair between him and her mother, Evelyn.

From Bruce's mouth, he would never confess to forcing himself on Evelyn. He would claim she had willingly been with him, slandering her name, calling her shameless in her passions.

The resulting scandal would be public, and the destructive power of gossip immense. The uninformed masses would surely vilify her mother, unleashing a torrent of online abuse.

The thought of her mother bearing the brunt of such unwarranted pressure, potentially leading to another suicide attempt, was too horrifying for Thalassa to even consider.

She couldn't bring herself to report Bruce's kidnapping to the police. If pushed to the brink, there was no telling what he might say.

The videos might have been deleted, but Bruce still had a tongue.
