The Billionaire’s Secret Quartet (Thalassa and Elowen) novel Chapter 1129

He treated Thalassa with such domineering affection. They were really close to each other, and Lysander even sought her love.

Where did she fall short compared to Thalassa?

Once, a virgin like her could take it slow. Now that she was no longer one, her prospects for winning Lysander's favor had diminished. She had to hasten her steps; only by securing Lysander could she find peace.

She suddenly remembered Callum.

Thalassa seemed to favor him and unabashedly engaged with him in full view of everyone. And Callum had mentioned he could help her.

Susan's gaze calculated as she looked toward the clubhouse entrance.

"Susan, have you been swamped with work lately? Why are you never home at night?" Lucy asked with concern.

"Yeah, swamped," Susan replied curtly, her eyes still venomous as she stared out the car window. "I need to make money. How else am I going to give you two hundred thousand to play the stock market?"

She didn't tell her parents about the hardships she endured outside. There was no point in doing so; they would only blame her. And telling them about her own grievance and bad shapes only offered them ammunition to criticize her.

She had to secure the title of Mrs. Sinclair on her own.

Back at home, Susan pulled Bruce aside into the study, away from Lucy's ears, "Dad, send me the video you have that's blackmailing Thalassa."

"What are you planning? Getting back at Thalassa for earlier?" Bruce asked warily.

Susan's face twisted with loathing, "Thalassa's gone too far. She has been provoking me time and again so I'll teach her a lesson she won't forget."

She recalled how Thalassa had defied her threats by pinning her down and slapping her fiercely the day before. That debt of humiliation had to be settled.

Bruce tried to calm her, "Don't be rash. You need a plan."

"How could I plan when she’s stepped on me?" Susan snapped, her anger flaring at the thought of her recent indignities.
