The Billionaire’s Secret Quartet (Thalassa and Elowen) novel Chapter 542

Chapter 542 

The principal felt a knot in his chest, unsure of what Lysander Sinclair’s piercing gaze meant. Was he unhappy with the asking price? 

The principal was about to offer the school for free when Lysander’s deep voice cut through the silence, “You have so many stakeholders here, and with five hundred million, no one gets much. Let’s do this. I’ll pay two billion and buy it outright.” 

Everyone’s eyes met, shock and elation mirrored in their faces. 

The sudden twist of fortune was overwhelming, and all eyes turned to the principal, urging him to accept the offer. They feared the money would gone if they stalled for one more second. 

The principal, who was just in a state of anxiety, was now overwhelmed with excitement. He hastily agreed, “That sounds excellent, Mr. Sinclair. You certainly have a keen eye for investment.” 

“The money will be transferred to the school’s account within five working days.” With that, Lysander exited the room. 

The entire negotiation and agreement happened within ten minutes. 

When Thalassa got home, she prepared herself to start work at the Sinclair group. She didn’t see Lysander at Royal Estates but hoped she would at the office. 

The receptionist stopped her on her arrival at the Sinclair group, “Thalassa, I’m sorry, but David has instructed that you are not allowed in.” 

Thalassa frowned, “Why can’t I go in? How can I work if I’m kept outside?”. 

The receptionist had a good rapport with Thalassa. Though there was a small scuffle between them, the receptionist was a righteous and sensible person. 

So they were still friends after the problem was solved. 

But still, she must do her own duty. She said in a regretted tone, “I can’t answer your question. I just got a clear instruction that you are now allowed in. You can call David instead, 

Thalassa understood that the receptionist was just doing her job and decided to contact David herself. 

“David, I’m at the office. Is it your instruction that I can’t go in?” 

“Ms. Everhart, I’m sorry. You’ve been fired, and the company has transferred your severance pay of a hundred grand. Didn’t you get the bank notification?” David said in an aloof tone as if they were talking about the work business. 

Thalassa was taken aback but then felt it was something Lysander would do. 

He was doing everything he could to stop her from meeting their children or negotiating with him. 

Feeling melancholy, she heaved. She felt helpless about the cruel reality. 

“Got it,” she hung up, then checked her bank account balance to see if the severance pay had been transferred. 

When she opened the app, she got the shock of her life. 

Holy shit! Am I in a dream? This is much more than a hundred grand! She said to herself.
