The Billionaire's Secret Quartet

Chapter 904

Gasping for breath, Thalassa set down the dining chair, pacing like an ant on a hot pan, anxiety written all over her face. A sudden thought flashed through her mind-there was a spare key to the room in the drawer at the entrance hall. Rushing to the drawer, she rummaged through its contents and, thankfully, her fingers closed around the cool metal of the key. With the urgency of a wildfire, she hurried back to the room and swiftly unlocked the door.

The door swung open to a scene that sent shivers crawling up Thalassa’s scalp; her mind went blank, and fear exploded like thunder in her ears.

Dangling from the ceiling light was a long piece of fabric, and hanging from it was a body-Evelyn!

Her limbs were still, her entire being suspended in silence.

“Mom!” Thalassa’s heart-wrenching scream filled the room as she rushed forward, climbing onto the bed to relieve the pressure of the fabric from Evelyn’s neck.

In her overwhelming panic, she struggled to untangle Evelyn from the makeshift noose.

Her body weakened by fear, and she mustered every ounce of strength she had to lift Evelyn down from the dreadful suspension. Evelyn was unconscious, her body limp and collapsing.
