The Billionaire’s Secret Quartet (Thalassa and Elowen) novel Chapter 1601

No matter if he stood up or not, Payton Sinclair was always going to cling to the CEO position at Sinclair Enterprises like it was his birthright, and he wasn't about to let go. Worse, he was intent on sidelining him, cutting him off from any ties to Sinclair Enterprises. His earlier words had made that painfully clear.

"Your cousin's got nothing on you when it comes to business. Ever since he took over Sinclair Enterprises three years ago, the company hasn't collapsed, but it's been bleeding money. Sinclair Enterprises used to be top dog, but now it's been overtaken by Draven Group's curiosity shop, slipping to second place. At this rate, Sinclair Enterprises will be bled dry. For the sake of the company, he'll come around eventually. No need to rush it," Zephyr said.

"By the way, did your cousin mention you and David are working on a jewelry project?" Zephyr zeroed in on the key point, asking Lysander Sinclair.

"How far along is the project?"

"We've purchased the designs, and the production process is all set up. We're about to start manufacturing the final products." Lysander didn't hold back when it came to work.

"You bought the designs? Which designer? You know, in the jewelry business, the designer's fame is everything. A piece of jewelry branded with a well-known designer's name can skyrocket in both price and sales," Zephyr expressed his concern.

He hoped this project would pave the way for Lysander's smooth return to Sinclair Enterprises.

"The designer is Thalassa Everhart," Lysander said.

"Thalassa, doesn't ring any bells as a famous designer..." Zephyr pondered for a moment, then something clicked, and his expression darkened. He looked sharply at Lysander, "This Thalassa, she wouldn't happen to be the mother of your child, would she?"

"That's her," Lysander confirmed.

"Ridiculous!" Zephyr slammed his coffee mug down, glaring at Lysander. "You're treating a major project like child's play. What are you thinking?"

"Who said anything about child's play?" Lysander countered.
