The Billionaire’s Secret Quartet (Thalassa and Elowen) novel Chapter 1000

“Let me give you a ride,” Bruce stood up.

Thalassa’s heart clenched at the proposal, her entire body vigilant.

She didn’t need Bruce’s charity at all. Was this another one of his veiled threats?

“It’s just a short walk, and there’s no need for a ride. Please just sit down and eat!” Lucy griped. She grabbed Bruce’s wrist and pulled him back down to the dinner table with a force that brooked no argument.

Bruce didn’t dare to protest Lucy’s assertiveness. Arguing over such a trivial matter was not worth the hassle, especially when it would just lead to Lucy dredging up the past.

Bruce sat back down reluctantly.

Lucy shoved a fork into his hand, “Just keep eating.”

Bruce slumped in his chair. He looked unhappy. His disdain for Lucy had reached its maximum, and he yearned to be free from her right now.

But Lucy had him in a vice grip.

Bruce knew he was nothing without money.

He had to suppress his revulsion, go back to play the devoted husband, and share the meal with her.

Thalassa hastily left the Bruce’s place, got into her car, and sped away.

Once she was clear of their territory and driving on the open asphalt road, Thalassa finally felt her nerves begin to relax.

Her breathing, which had been so constricted, was now eased.

Her grip on the steering wheel tightened as she fought to calm the nervous excitement within her.

Now, she had Bruce’s phone number and family network IP in her possession. She would simply just request Atticus to hack into Bruce’s phone and computer and delete the video.
