The Billionaire’s Secret Quartet (Thalassa and Elowen) novel Chapter 1719

"Keep it up, let's push through together," Zoey encouraged.

Moved by her words, Thalassa nodded vigorously.

After shaking hands, Zoey cautiously glanced towards Lysander before returning to her seat.

As Thalassa was about to sit, Cody announced, "Let's have our champion come up for a speech."

Under Cody's watchful eye, Thalassa reluctantly returned to the stage, took the microphone, and delivered a heartfelt thank-you speech.

Handing the microphone back to Cody, she descended the stage, only to see Rosalind pushing Lysander in his wheelchair, both heading towards the exit.

Lysander had left, showing no interest in the presentation of the design works.

Watching them leave, Thalassa felt a heaviness in her heart. Winning should have been exhilarating, yet the joy was muted without being able to share it with the person she wanted to the most.

No sooner had Thalassa stepped off the stage than a staff member ushered her backstage to register her banking details.

Zoey and Heidi had already completed their registration and were on their way out as Thalassa entered.

While Thalassa was filling out her information, she overheard a conversation.

"Cody, could you possibly allocate design number three to me?" It was Joshua's voice.
