Chapter 385
“Never mind, Thalassa declared, “I drove here. You take mom and two of the kids, I’ll take the other
two.”
Hertha was taken aback. Since when did Thalassa have a car?
Evelyn, on the other hand, was unfazed. She had known for a while that Thalassa had a company car.
When they returned home, it was already past nine in the evening.
Together, Hertha and Thalassa bathed the kids and put them to bed.
Evelyn sat in the living room, stewing in her own frustration.
By the time the kids were finally asleep, it was half past ten.
As Thalassa and Hertha stepped out of the room, Evelyn’s gaze was a mix of anger and worry, all
directed at Thalassa.
“Now that the kids are asleep, can we talk about what happened?” She demanded.
Hertha also looked at Thalassa with a curious and expectant expression.
A few days ago, after she had rescued Thalassa from the hotel, she brought Evelyn back to Thalassa’s
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇthometown. During those days, she hadn’t been able to get in touch with Thalassa at all.
Bearing her mother’s intense gaze, Thalassa knew she had to come clean this time.
Otherwise, she would never hear the end of it from Evelyn.
She took a seat at the dining table, followed by an eager Hertha who was looking forward to hearing
her story.
Thalassa sighed and began, “Didn’t Hertha tell you? Lysander from the Sinclair Group took a liking to
me. He wants me to be his woman.”
“He doesn’t even want to marry you! Being with him is a waste of your youth!” Evelyn retorted
vehemently, slamming the table.
“I know, I don’t want this either. But he’s powerful and influential, I don’t have a choice, Thalassa
replied.

“This is like him taking advantage of a helpless woman! I’ll report him right now!” Evelyn exclaimed,
rising from her seat.
Thalassa quickly reached out and stopped her, “Mom, don’t be impulsive. I made a mistake. We can’t
accuse him of anything.”
“Mistake? What mistake?” Evelyn asked, curiosity and anxiety evident in her voice.
Η
Thalassa grimaced and confessed, “I smashed a lot of antiques at Lysander’s place, worth 100 million
dollars. If we report him, he will definitely demand compensation. If we can’t pay, I might end up in jail.”
*100 million dollars?” Evelyn felt dizzy and saw stars. She sat down heavily on her chair.
Hertha was equally shocked.
Thalassa was something else. Not only did she smash things, but she targeted antiques worth 100
million dollars.
No one could match her audacity.
Thalassa bit her lip and stayed silent, giving her mother some time to process the information.
She didn’t want Evelyn to impulsively report Lysander. Besides that, if the police got involved, her four
kids might get exposed and Lysander would find out.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThen, she would lose everything.
Lysander had made it clear that he didn’t want her to bear his children and marriage was out of the
question.
It was crucial that Lysander remained unaware of the kids.
After Evelyn calmed down a bit, Thalassa tentatively said, “Mom, can you promise me not to intervene
in this matter? Lysander is softening up and I might be able to get out of this mess in some time. But if
you confront him and he demands 100 million dollars in compensation, there’s no way out.”
Evelyn sat there stunned, still shocked by the astronomical sum..
100 million dollars. Even if they’sold Thalassa, they couldn’t repay the debt.
What a tragedy.
Evelyn looked at Thalassa, her face a mixture of grief, anger, and deep concem. She snapped out of
her daze and glared at Thalassa.
“Fine, I won’t meddle in your affairs anymore. Do whatever you want!” She slapped her thigh and
stormed off to her room.
