Chapter 45 

Linda’s face contorted with anger, the mere sight of Thalassa making her blood boil. 

Thalassa tipped her head to the side, shaking her head with an unsurprised look on her face. “I always knew your were a wretched woman, but you’ve reached an all–time low. Threatening a man who’s only politely asking for something you promised to give?” 

Linda shot to her feet and faced Thalassa. “You stupid girl. You tricked me! You tricked me into bidding that amount.” 

“Tricked you?” Thalassa couldn’t help but laugh. “Don’t be so dense, Linda. I didn’t point a gun at your head to bid that high. You did it because you were too proud to lose to me. It’s your own stupidity that cost you.” 

Fury flashed across Linda’s face as she stepped forward and threw her hand, but Thalassa saw it just in time and grabbed her wrist, squeezing tightly. 

“You don’t learn, do you, Linda? I already warned you not to throw hands at me because I’ll throw it back at you. 

“Let go of me,” Linda groaned in pain, trying to free her hand. Thalassa squeezed it some more for a few seconds before finally letting go. 

“You stupid girl,” Linda spat as she caressed her wrist, which already had red marks. “You’re going to regret this.” 

as you’re going to regret it if you refuse to pay the amount you promised in the bid,” Thalassa said 

“Not as much as von calmly. 

“You can’t force me,” Linda sneered. 

Thalassa sighed. “Yes, I can’t force you, but he is right. There are rules to auctions. You can’t just bid and back out 

any 

time you feel like it. The foundation can sue you, and with even an average lawyer, they’re sure to win. And trust me, I’ll be right there supporting them with any money they need to ensure they win. Not to mention, if it goes to court, everything will go public. Imagine what people will say when they hear that the great Linda Miller bid money to donate to a foundation and tried to back out of it using threats. How scandalous.” 

Linda’s face turned red from anger and helplessness as she gritted out, “You’re going to regret this, you stupid girl.” 

Thalassa rolled her eyes. “You bark too much like a dog, yet it seems you don’t even have teeth to bite. Oops, I 

mean money. 

While Thalassa chuckled, Linda, her face filled with humiliation, stormed out of the office and returned to the hall. 

“Mum, why do you have that expression? What happened?” Tyler asked once he saw the gloomy look on his mother’s face. 

“Where’s Kris? I need to speak to Kris,” Linda said. 

“Kris said he was going outside for a bit,” Karen informed her. 

“Sister, calm down and talk to us,” Aunt Cynthia stepped closer to her. “What has gotten you so upset?” 

“That stupid Thalassa,” Linda gritted out under her breath “I tried to withdraw my bid, but she came in and threatened to help them fight me in court and disgrace me publicly. And look what she did to me.” 

She held up her wrist, showing the reddened spots where Thalassa had squeezed, 

Susan’s face contorted with anger. “Don’t worry, Mum. I’m going to teach that bitch a lesson.”

After discussing everything she needed to with the organizer regarding her donation, Thalassa returned to the hall only to be met with a loud, angry scream. 

“You lowlife bitch! How dare you treat my mother like that?” It was Susan Miller, her teeth bared like an animal as she moved toward Thalassa. 1
