The Billionaire’s Secret Quartet (Thalassa and Elowen) novel Chapter 1063

Once again, Amelia's snide remark that Thalassa was just a country bumpkin stung deeper than she cared to admit.

Her brows furrowed, and she shot Amelia a look of displeasure.

"What are you staring at? Did I say something wrong?" Amelia snapped and rolled her eyes.

Lysander slammed his bowl of chicken soup onto the nightstand with a thud that resonated through the room, commanding attention.

Amelia's bravado wavered under Lysander's imposing presence. Her face morphed into a mix of flattery and deference as she addressed him, "I may have been a bit harsh just now, but everyone knows Thalassa wormed her way into your life with her cunning. Just look at Faye; she's been pining for you for a decade. You joined the army, and she enlisted, too, to be close to you. You became a CEO, and she was right there as your secretary. Ten years, and she hasn't managed to secure a proper place by your side, let alone the right to bear your children.

And Charlotte, she adored you. She was betrothed to you, promised through a deal between Zephyr and the Ravensong family. But Zephyr called off the engagement in public because of Thalassa's schemes. She's out to eliminate all the women around you!"

According to Amelia, both Faye and Charlotte had already been intimate with Lysander. It was completely normal for a rich man like him to be surrounded by women.

But they were not good enough to be favored by Lysander and have his child.

Faye had it worse, not even a title to her name.

Then Thalassa appeared. In just a few months, she had ousted Faye, dismissed Charlotte, and ascended to her position.

Amelia didn't hide her resentment and disdain for Thalassa as she spilled her thoughts to Lysander.

She was trying to open Lysander's eyes to Thalassa's true nature, to make him despise her, and ideally, cast her out and leave her with nothing.

Oh, how ironic. No matter what Thalassa had done or schemed, it was all inconsequential in Lysander's eyes. He cared only about her as a person, not her actions.

Amelia's forced a disappointed laughter. It seemed impossible to make Lysander punish Thalassa. She'd have to take matters into her own hands. She was determined to show Thalassa how capable she was and make it clear that the Sinclair family's doors were not open to her.

Suppressing her feelings of hurt and anger, Amelia got back to the point, "Didn't you give me back the keys to Leopold's Central Ring Villa? I went there today to clean up and found a box of birth control pills hidden behind a couch cushion, with three pills missing. Were they yours, from bringing a woman there, or were they from Leopold's time?"

After settling Leopold's company affairs, Amelia had gone to his private residence to look for traces of his life, hoping for some solace for her nostalgia.

But what she hadn't expected was to find an open box of birth control pills on the couch — an unpleasant reminder that someone else had been there.
