The Billionaire's Secret Quartet

Chapter 442

She felt a cold sweat trickling down her spine.

There was a nagging urge to spill the beans, to stand up for Thalassa, to demand child support from Lysander, to accuse him of his years of neglect and his indifference to the needs of his own children.

Just as she was about to voice her thoughts, Thalassa’s worried face flashed in her mind; she recalled Thalassa’s fear of losing her children.

Thalassa had warned her that if Lysander were to find out about the children, he would definitely snatch them away and might not even allow her any visitation rights.

Although Thalassa had raised them, Lysander was so powerful and resourceful. If he wanted to snatch away the children, it would be a piece of cake.

Her sympathy for Thalassa eventually overcame her impulsive thoughts.

Hertha managed to suppress the urge to spill the truth.

She planned to stay over, so she took a shower and changed her clothes. But she left her clothes behind so I washed them for her.”
