The Billionaire’s Secret Quartet (Thalassa and Elowen) novel Chapter 881

Payton was heartbroken and baffled, unable to comprehend why Leopold had chosen such a path.

His death had left the deepest wound on his own family.

After Leopold was gone, Amelia had begged Lysander on her knees not to expose Leopold’s errors in the bombing incident. She'd pleaded that he preserve Leopold’s last shred of dignity.

Lysander, swallowing his own sorrow, had agreed. He’d announced to the press that the accident had been the result of a lapse in judgement by Leossa Electronics, a subsidiary of the Sinclair Group.

Zephyr hadn’t objected to Lysander’s approach.

All Lysander had hoped for was that Leopold would have the courage to admit his mistakes so that the Sinclair family could help him resolve the issue.

Who could have predicted that Leopold would rather take his own life than confess that he'd planned the whole incident?

Lysander was heartbroken and tortured.

Full of anger and sorrow, Amelia stormed off the party after her harsh words, leaving Payton with a heavy sigh. As a businessman approached with a donation, Payton quickly adjusted his demeanor to greet him.

Zephyr had called Lysander to the conference room.

Zephyr sat in his chair, the weariness evident in his eyes as Lysander took a seat next to him.
