Chapter 272
Thalassa turned towards the sound, spotting a tall and lean man. He was decked out in a dark blue
pinstripe suit with a black undershirt, all adorned with gold threads. His pants were skin-tight and his
shoes were the latest in black leather fashion.
The guy just oozed an aura of nobility.
Usually, he’d wear a soft smile, but right now, his face was a mask of seriousness and even a bit of
frostiness. His handsome eyes were blazing with anger.
That was Leopold!
He came over and stood beside Thalassa, his eyes cold and piercing as he stared down Charlotte.
Charlotte, who’d been acting all high and mighty in front of Thalassa, instantly deflated at his arrival.
She tried to win him over, grinning and saying, “Leopold, Thalassa’s no angel. She’s definitely up to
something in the Sinclair Group.”
Leopold was the youngest of the Sinclair family. He was three years younger than Lysander but he held

He was quite the golden boy.
Charlotte, being a Ravensong heiress, naturally knew him.
She’d been all swagger in front of Thalassa, but when Leopold showed up, she switched gears to being
all sweet and flattering.
Leopold’s gaze turned even colder, sharp as a sword as he said, “Apologize to her again! Or I swear,
the Ravensong family won’t know what hit them!”
Anger filled his eyes, and Charlotte, who’d been clinging to hope that Leopold would take her side, was
taken aback by his toughness.
What did Thalassa have that not only had Lysander hooked, but Leopold too?
Charlotte was feeling pretty peeved, but due to Leopold’s intensity and fear of the Sinclair family’s
retaliation, she lowered her head, and grudgingly said, “Sorry.”
“Who are you apologizing to? Who can hear that whisper?” Leopold snapped.
Startled, Charlotte quickly looked at Thalassa, lowered her head and said sincerely, “I’m sorry,
Thalassa. I was wrong. Please forgive me.”
Thalassa watched as Charlotte apologized.
Her anger didn’t subside, if anything, she could feel the resentment in Charlotte’s forced apology.
She said coldly, “I’m not forgiving you because I’m soft-hearted, but because I don’t want to lose my
cool like you.”
Charlotte was taken aback by her words. Just as she was about to retort, Leopold said with a smirk,
“She’s right, Ms. Ravensong. You should really take her words to heart.”
With that, he casually draped his arm over Thalassa’s shoulders, leading her away.
The gesture, although protective, looked incredibly intimate to onlookers.
Charlotte was taken aback by Leopold’s arm around Thalassa’s shoulders. She quickly whipped out
her phone and snapped a picture of their retreating figures.
She was sure that there was more to Leopold and Thalassa’s relationship.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmKnowing that Thalassa used to work in the cleaning department, she got Noreen to organize a staff
dinner and invited Thalassa.

cleaner who wanted to climb the social ladder!
Her plan was to slap her down, make her lose face in the company, and ensure she’d be driven out of
the Sinclair Group!
But she hadn’t expected to stumble upon Leopold and Thalassa’s relationship!
This discovery lifted Charlotte’s spirits.
The rest of the people in the private room held their breaths, not daring to make a sound.
Having been bribed by Charlotte, Noreen hastily organized the staff dinner.
Charlotte proclaimed herself as Lysander’s fiancée, who would soon to be Mrs. Sinclair! The other
women were scheming home-wreckers trying to seduce Mr. Sinclair and usurp her position.
