Chapter 230
Thalassa replied, “Yes, five grand.”
She couldn’t tell Evelyn she had been given the boot by the Sinclair group, who then forked out ten
grand as compensation.
If Evelyn knew, she would surely make noise at the Sinclair group.
After all, Thalassa didn’t do anything wrong, so why was she given the axe?
If Evelyn went there, she would know the reason for dismissal. It was because Thalassa had been
stirring the pot at the company, saying she wanted to be Lysander’s wife.
As a result, after Lysander got wind of this, he didn’t propose or console her. He just gave her the sack
right off the bat.
His intention was pretty clear. He didn’t want to marry her.
The moment he heard Thalassa wanted to marry him, he just showed her the door.

Then, things would get really messy, which wouldn’t be good.
Most importantly, Thalassa was worried that Evelyn might spill the beans about her having four kids in
front of Lysander.
Given the kids‘ ages, Lysander would know in a jiffy that they were his children.
She couldn’t risk that.
So she could only say she quit voluntarily and got picked up by another company.
Although she hadn’t found a new job yet, she would hustle to find one.
She said she only had five grand because the other five had been spent on compensating Lysander for
the tire cost.
She only had five grand left.
When Evelyn heard Thalassa’s reply, her surprise turned into delight, and she said with a smile, “What
a generous company to offer such a big payout. They sure have good taste, knowing my daughter is
capable.”
Thalassa laughed sheepishly without saying a word.
If only she was that popular, she wouldn’t have to worry about finding a good job every day.
“Thalassa, give me the money. I’ll keep it for you,” Evelyn said with a grin.
Seeing her mom’s eyes, Thalassa knew Evelyn was itching to play poker again.
The 1,100 dollars she made before was lost by Evelyn in just one night.
It probably wouldn’t even cost Evelyn three nights to gamble away this five grand.
Thalassa said, “I just looked up some nearby kindergartens on my phone, and I plan to sign up the kids
tomorrow. This money is just enough for a semester’s tuition and living expenses for the four kids.”
“What?” Evelyn asked in surprise. She didn’t expect Thalassa to do this.
Thalassa put down her fork. She looked seriously at Evelyn and said solemnly. “Mom, the kids are four
years old and they’ve never been to school. Other kids start school very early. Although we take them

to the bookstore to study. They can read and learn to write, but it’s still not as good as learning in
school.”
Thalassa told Evelyn about that.
Atticus and Dorian, Elowen and Sophia, who were eating, glanced at each other.
They learned much more at the bookstore than they did at school.
Otherwise, how could four–year–old Atticus be a computer whiz? He could easily dig up all the dirt on
Lysander.
Dorian loved reading about performance and had a deep understanding of it. In terms of performance,
he was a prodigy.
Otherwise, the Sinclair group’s receptionist wouldn’t have been so moved by Dorian’s performance that
she let them in to see Mr. Sinclair.
Elowen was a food lover. As long as she had a taste, she could tell what was added to the food and
how it was made.
Sophia, on the other hand, was a genius at identifying treasures.
Thalassa was oblivious to all of this.
