The Billionaire’s Secret Quartet (Thalassa and Elowen) novel Chapter 1294

"Then you go ahead, Mr. Ethan. I'd rather not mix in," Thalassa said without turning back.

"But Susan got hurt trying to save Lysander. You should go and thank her on his behalf," Ethan paused his stride, not following her anymore.

Thalassa's brisk walk came to an abrupt halt.

Her hands clenched tightly. Her breathing became uneven. She turned, glaring at Ethan, and said, "Yes, she saved Lysander, and the one who was saved is Lysander! That's his business, what does it have to do with me? On what grounds should I thank her for him?"

This was the thorn in Thalassa's heart.

Lysander believed that she had deliberately manipulated the wire, intending to hit him with a prop.

He thought she wanted him dead!

Thalassa couldn't forget the icy, cold look in Lysander's eyes at that time—his eyes swirling with a blizzard and a chilling disappointment.

Yes, he had looked at her with disappointment.

He was convinced that she was the culprit and had tried to hit him on the head, to take his life.

He had never trusted her.

As Thalassa spoke with agitation, her breath heaving, tears involuntarily welled up in her eyes.

She looked up, blinking, trying to force the tears back.

What was she upset about? What right did she have to be upset?

There was nothing between her and Lysander. Mutual distrust was normal and natural, wasn't it?

Ethan hadn't expected his words to upset Thalassa so deeply.

The hand holding the bouquet drooped, and his face lost its usual teasing smile, replaced by a serious expression.
