The Billionaire’s Secret Quartet novel Chapter 1820

In the dimly lit VIP lounge, a stern voice cut through the tension. Thalassa's heart sank. That voice... it was David's!

And the woman who had screamed just moments ago? Susan!

Before Thalassa could even process the situation, a sharp "slap" echoed through the room.

The sound of a palm striking flesh was unmistakable, and from the intensity alone, Thalassa could tell the victim must have been in excruciating pain, probably swelling up by the second.

"Stop, please, no more!" Susan's pleas for mercy were heartbreaking.

That's when Lysander's cool voice brought Thalassa back to reality. "This is the place. Open the door."

Jolted into action, Thalassa hesitated for a fraction of a second before pushing the door open with trembling hands.

"Lysander, you have no right to control me! You're nothing now. If you cross me, I'll make sure the people backing me won't let you off easily!" Susan's outburst was a mix of anger and desperation, her bold words clashing with the fear in her eyes.

Thalassa couldn't stand Susan's disrespect towards Lysander. Angrily, she retorted, "Keep yelling, and I'll shut you up for good!"

Susan responded with venom, spitting towards Thalassa. "You're the scum here, Thalassa! Why don't you just drop dead? Everyone would be better off without you!"
