The Billionaire’s Secret Quartet (Thalassa and Elowen) novel Chapter 701

Chapter 701 

She averted her gaze slightly, trying to change the subject. 

Lysander’s deep-set eyes glanced at her foot, which was bandaged and resting on the bed. 

“I see you’re still able to run around. It seems like it doesn’t hurt then.” Lysander’s voice was low and icy. 

Thalassa understood the hidden meaning in his tone. David must have returned his money. 

Was he upset about that? 

He was a strange man. He was upset when he thought she had taken his money, and he was still upset when she returned it. 

What did she have to do to please him? 

“The billion wasn’t for Bruce. The situation is complicated, but in short, I’ve retrieved both the billion and that ten million. I also got back the three million from the sale of the circular pendant, which Bruce also swindled. Since you were unhappy when I asked for your account details, I transferred the money to David. It should be in the company’s account now, right?” Thalassa stated firmly. 

Instead of being tormented by his cold demeanor, she decided to lay her cards on the table. 

“And then?” Lysander stood by the bed. His deep gaze pierced into her like a hawk.

“So you think you can wash your hands of this? You’re really naive. You can never stay out of it, understand?” 

His icy, angry breath hit Thalassa’s delicate face. All her senses were screaming for her to get away from the danger. 

He meant that, as long as she had Bruce’s blood in her veins, he would never let her go. 

“Lysander, you should let yourself go…” 

“No! It’s you that I won’t let go of! You’ve angered me, and you know what price you should pay.” His voice was cold and suppressed. Suddenly, he sealed her lips with a harsh kiss. 

“Um… no…” Thalassa was taken by surprise. His kiss was so dominant and wild. 

She could barely breathe as he consumed her. 

It wasn’t until she was nearly suffocating that Lysander released her lips. His dominant kisses began trailing down her chin to her delicate neck. Thalassa struggled to breathe, causing her chest to heave with his every kiss. His kiss felt like a fire igniting on her skin, burning and shaking her to the
