The Billionaire's Secret Quartet

Chapter 970

If Lysander were to discover that Bruce had brought her to the hotel, kidnapped her, and even had plans to take advantage of her, Lysander, being so clever, would have undoubtedly realized that Bruce was not her father.

But what haunted Thalassa the most was the video in Bruce’s possession.

Before leaving, Bruce had darkly threatened her. If Lysander ever discovered that he had taken her to the hotel, he would unleash that video across all major social media platforms, making Evelyn the star, the center of a scandalous viral sensation.

For Evelyn, this type of attention could be deadly.

Thalassa could never shake off the memory of Evelyn’s breakdown, the way she had tried to hang herself. The fear and shadows that incident cast were profound.

If the video went public, Evelyn would be cyber bullied, heckled every time she set foot outside the house.

Evelyn always cared about keeping up appearances. If she became the butt of every joke, the subject of scornful remarks, she’d never survive it. What extreme lengths might she go to in order to escape the humiliation?

These thoughts sent shivers down Thalassa’s spine and a painful clench to her heart.
