The Billionaire’s Secret Quartet (Thalassa and Elowen) novel Chapter 924

The assistant's heart skipped a beat as she clamped her mouth shut, her fingers trembling as she called for an ambulance.

Before long, Bruce was carted away by the ambulance.

...

Thalassa was at home, sharing a cozy dinner with Evelyn when her phone buzzed with a message.

She snatched up the device, her eyes wide with panic. Ever since Bruce sent her that disturbing video, she had been on high alert, terrified that Bruce, in his lack of humanity, might send another video to threaten her.

She had deleted the video from Bruce the moment she stepped out of the coffee shop.

If he sent another one and Evelyn accidentally saw it...

She couldn't bear to think of the consequences.

Noticing the message wasn't from Bruce, but from the bank, Thalassa exhaled in relief.

The bank notification showed a deposit with a leading digit of 5 followed by a string of zeroes.

At first, Thalassa thought it was her paycheck, maybe five thousand, but on closer inspection, the zeroes seemed to multiply.

Good heavens, it was fifty million!

She thought she miscounted and double-checked the zeros. Still, fifty million!

What in the world? Who would transfer fifty million to her?

She immediately logged into her mobile banking app to check the transaction history.

The record showed that it was a transfer from a luxury jewelry brand.

But she had no ties with a jewelry company. Why would they suddenly transfer fifty million to her?

Evelyn, sitting across the table, noticed Thalassa's expression go from shock to confusion and asked with concern, "Thalassa, what's wrong, honey?"

"Oh, it's nothing. Looks like there's been a mix-up at work, money sent to my account by mistake. You go ahead and eat, Mom. I need to make a quick call." With that, Thalassa excused herself and retreated to her room with her phone.

She dialed the jewelry company first.
