The Billionaire’s Secret Quartet (Thalassa and Elowen) novel Chapter 1826

Reginald's eyes widened in disbelief as he stared at Susan. "What did you say?"

"You heard me loud and clear, didn't you? Why ask again!" Susan retorted, her tone firm.

Despite the pounding headache that felt like her head was splitting apart, she couldn't afford to show any signs of weakness or cry out in pain. No one cared about whether she was hurting anymore.

Ever since her parents passed away, it felt as though no one in the world cared about her feelings or whether she was suffering.

Losing her parents made Susan realize how cold and malicious the world could be. Just surviving had become an uphill battle.

She was no longer the pampered darling she used to be, cherished in the palms of her loving parents.

It was the harshness of the world that made Susan cherish the memory of her parents even more, regretting that her desire to be Lysander’s woman had led to their demise.

But there were no second chances in life.

Without her parents, life became even tougher.

Reginald stood before her, his gaze fierce. "Good, I'll be ridding my mother of a problem!"

With that, he bent down and grabbed Susan by the neck, squeezing hard, intending to choke the life out of her.

"Ah..." Already in pain, Susan felt her throat constrict, her headache intensifying, as she started to lose consciousness, her eyes rolling back, foam forming at her mouth.

Reginald, on the brink of rage, was too engrossed in his fury to notice Susan's deteriorating condition.
