The Billionaire’s Secret Quartet (Thalassa and Elowen) novel Chapter 1802

Watching the scene unfold, Thalassa clenched her fists in fury, her gaze burning into Payton with unbridled anger. He had the audacity to blow smoke right in Lysander's face—a gesture of supreme disrespect!

Thalassa seethed with rage, more incensed than if she herself had been the target of such humiliation. Her breathing turned rapid, teeth gritted in anger, ready to confront Payton's audacity. But before she could speak out, David stepped forward, positioning himself between Lysander and Payton, cutting off Payton's contemptuous stare.

With a forced smile, he addressed Payton, “Mr. Sinclair, we're in the middle of an investigation. Rest assured, you'll be the first to know once we have any updates.”

Payton glanced at David with disdain, easily brushing him aside with a scoff. “You're nothing but Lysander's lapdog, barking up the wrong tree.”

His strength was undeniable as he pushed David aside, stepping closer to Lysander, radiating hostility. David's face flushed with a mix of embarrassment and shame. It wasn't the first time Payton had insulted him, but it was the first time in front of Lysander and Thalassa. His pride and dignity felt utterly crushed in that moment.

A wave of humiliation and discomfort surged within him. He bit down hard, struggling to maintain his composure. Payton, now wielding significant power, was not someone they could easily confront. Like Lysander, they had to bide their time.
