The Billionaire’s Secret Quartet novel Chapter 89

He actually did that in front of Faye; wasn't that just asking for trouble?

She only found out today that Faye had a thing for Lysander.

But Lysander turned Faye down. After seeing her like that, Thalassa felt a wicked sense of satisfaction.

When her four kids came to the Sinclair Group, Faye was so rude to them that she scared them into running wild around the office.

Since then, Thalassa had no love for Faye and even started to dislike her.

This time, she was actually pleased to see Faye looking so down.

Finally, it was time to clock out.

Thalassa got home, only to have Evelyn storm up to her, poke her forehead, and angrily complain, "What did I ever do to deserve a daughter like you?! I asked you to go on a date, and not only did you offend the guy, but you also lied about having a boyfriend?! Now that your reputation is ruined, who's gonna care about you in the future? Do you think you can still get married?”

Thalassa pouted, looking innocent, and tried to soothe her by holding her arm, "Mom, why do I have to get married? Isn't my life pretty good right now?”

"Good? You're raising four kids on your own; if you were some successful office worker making tens of thousands of dollars a year, that would be one thing! But you're a cleaner, with no man to rely on, carrying everything by yourself. Do you think you're invincible? Can't you learn from others? Just look at Isabella, look at how successful she is, and then look at yourself; you've got nothing! It's infuriating!”

Evelyn's chest was heaving as she got more and more worked up.

"Mom, who says I've got nothing? I have four adorable, smart kids. That's a happiness that others can't have.”

"Mom, I've met Isabella's boyfriend. He is indeed very handsome, but you might have misunderstood. He's not Isabella's boyfriend.”

Thalassa knew that Evelyn must have seen Lysander when he went to Hollowbrook, and like the other villagers, she misunderstood and thought he was Isabella's boyfriend.

Initially, she had the same thought, but Lysander denied it himself. Isabella wasn't his girlfriend.

Thalassa trusted him because he wouldn't lie about such a small thing, and there was no need to lie to her.

"How do you know they're not a couple?” Evelyn's eyes brightened as she looked at Thalassa, "Are you close with him?”
