The Billionaire's Secret Quartet

Chapter 362

Previously groggy from sleep, Lysander snapped fully awake at the sight of the incoming call. His obsidian eyes bore into the phone screen, a chill flickering in their depths.

Thalassa watched as he stared at the screen, her heart pounding like a boiling kettle on the stove. Every nerve in her body was tightly strung.
