The Billionaire’s Secret Quartet (Thalassa and Elowen) novel Chapter 1902

Lysander's words left Thalassa's ears burning a bright shade of red. What on earth had Lysander eaten today to be in such a flirtatious mood right in the middle of the hall? It was just a cup of tea, yet he managed to make even that seem suggestive. Thalassa deliberately ignored Lysander's last remark, pushing his wheelchair as she suggested, "Let's head out."

Once in the car, Thalassa remembered to ask, "Where are we heading?"

"To the orphanage," Lysander replied.

It took a moment for Thalassa to process this. "To see Susan's child?"

"To watch a spectacle," said Lysander.

Thalassa was puzzled. What kind of spectacle?

Seeing the mysterious smile on Lysander's lips, she didn't inquire further. Whatever the spectacle, she would find out soon enough.

Upon arriving at the orphanage, Thalassa wheeled Lysander inside, knowing exactly where to go. She headed straight for the room where Susan's child lived.

Susan was heartless, willing to use her own son as a bargaining chip. The mention of two million made Joshua pause, but Reginald, far more composed, scoffed at Susan's demand: "Two million? Susan, don't you think you're being a bit greedy? Look in the mirror. Are you really worth that much?"

Susan's response was even more frantic: "You won't give it to me? Fine, I'm taking him and jumping right now! Joshua, this is your own son. Think carefully!"

Susan, holding the child and perched on the window ledge, glared menacingly, her body tense with threat. The child, only two but aware of the danger, clung to Susan's clothes, his tiny body rigid with fear, crying helplessly.

His cries tugged at Joshua's heart. Seeing Susan's threatening move, he stepped forward anxiously: "Susan, let's talk this out. You need to come down first. We can only talk if you come down."
