The Billionaire’s Secret Quartet (Thalassa and Elowen) novel Chapter 498

Chapter 498 

A dangerous aura radiated from Lysander. His low growl shook the room like a mini earthquake. 

Amelia, startled by his fury, realized Lysander was telling her to leave after she slipped her tongue. Without hesitation, she bolted from the office. 

Thalassa was also affected by Lysander’s anger; his icy demeanor made her believe he wanted her out as well. She turned on her heel and hastily made her way towards the exit. 

Just as she was about to reach the door, a vice-like grip clasped around her neck, sending a wave of intense pain through her. 

Thalassa froze. She gritted her teeth against the pain and her breath was hitching in her chest. 

Before she could react, she was yanked back by Lysander and stumbling into his muscular chest. 

The strength of him was overwhelming; it was like being caught in a dangerous storm. 

” 

Thalassa’s heart pounded, “Mr. Sinclair, please calm down…” 

Her voice was laced with fear 

Lysander’s hand moved to her chin, squeezing it so tight that her mouth puckered and her cheeks contorted. 

His gaze was dark and menacing, “Tell me, where is Leopold?” 

His icy breath prickled her skin, causing a sharp pain that only heightened her fear. 

Thalassa lifted her hands, grasping Lysander’s wrist in a futile attempt to loosen his grip and alleviate some of the pain. 

However, her strength was insignificant compared to his. 

Biting back the pain and the rising panic, Thalassa stammered, “…I don’t know where Leopold is…” 

“Still not telling the truth, huh?” Lysander’s gaze was cold and unwavering as he tightened his grip. 

Thalassa gasped for breath; her voice came out as a desperate plea, “I really don’t know where he is. After I ran into him outside the mall, I left immediately. I don’t know where he went, and I haven’t been in contact with him…”.. 

“Really? So, he didn’t go somewhere to wait for you, and you didn’t pull a fast one to elope with him?” His chiseled face was taut. His sharp eyes cut into her as if trying to see right through her. 

She even accepted the family heirloom from the Sinclair family, a token for their daughter-in-law. 

And why she had the audacity to deny her engagement with Leopold? 

In the midst of her panic, Thalassa shook her head, “No, that’s not true. I would never elope with him.” 

“Let’s see how you can prove that!” Lysander scoffed, letting go of her. 

Thalassa stumbled back a step, reaching up to touch her throbbing chin. She took ragged breaths, her eyes wide with fear as she looked at him. 

Lysander, now, was like a king with an intimidating presence, a God of all living things. He could just crush her with a snap of the fingers. 

Thalassa’s heart clenched with anxiety; every cell in her body was screaming danger. 

“How…how can I prove it?” Thalassa stuttered, unsure of what Lysander was implying.
