The Billionaire’s Secret Quartet novel Chapter 618

"What's going on? Where are you?" Thalassa questioned anxiously.

"I… I'm at… ah!" Evelyn's voice was choked with tears, and before she could finish her sentence, her phone was knocked out of her hand.

Thalassa held her phone. The other end was filled with chaotic noise.

Simply hearing it was enough to know it was urgent, Thalassa's heart pounded, her voice tense and desperate. "Mom, where exactly are you? Can you still hear me?"

"Throw her in the slammer!" A man's voice echoed through the phone, sharp, cold, and violent.

The voice struck Thalassa's heart like a bolt of lightning, her heart racing.

It was Lysander's voice. She recognized it. He sounded furious, commanding his bodyguards to take Evelyn to the jail.

Then, Evelyn's cries came intermittently through the phone, her voice growing fainter and fainter.

Thalassa's heart tightened in fear.

What had happened?

Why was Lysander so angry?

Why was Evelyn being taken to jail?

Thalassa was as frantic as a cat on a hot tin roof. She rushed out of the Crawley Group, intending to go to the scene.

But she didn't know where they were. She had to calm down.

Thalassa took a deep breath, trying to piece together the situation.

It was 5:30 p.m., and Evelyn was supposed to pick up the kids from school.

So, had Evelyn and Lysander fought over the kids, provoking Lysander to take her to jail?

In that case, the incident must have occurred at the preschool or the Royal Estates!

Thalassa called their butler, Fitch, and asked him what had happened.

Seeing the situation, Thalassa's own heart lodged in her throat. She tried to stay calm and asked, "Mom, what happened? How did you upset Lysander?"

Evelyn's face paled, her voice trembling in fear, "It wasn't me who pushed Sybil. I was just talking to her, trying to get her to accept you, to let Lysander marry you. I only went to the stairwell to help Sophia, who had fallen, and when I came back, Sybil was on the ground..."

"What?" Thalassa's mind went blank, her body numb from the shocking news.

Grandma Sybil had an accident?

Evelyn grabbed Thalassa's hand, her grip strong but shaking, "Thalassa, it wasn't me. It really wasn't me. Please, save me..."

"Ms. Everhart, we're on a tight schedule. Please don't obstruct," one of the bodyguards inside the car said expressionlessly.

The car then started moving.

Evelyn clung to Thalassa's hand, pleading through her tears for her to save her.

Thalassa's heart was pounding. She was frantic. She ran alongside the car for a while, but as the car's speed increased, Evelyn was forced to let go of her hand.
