The Billionaire's Secret Quartet

Chapter 1080

Hertha just couldn’t wrap her head around what Callum had to do with Leopold.

Seeing the bewildered look plastered across Hertha’s face, Thalassa let out a heavy sigh and began to unravel the tale.

After listening, the light bulb went off for Hertha. “Oh, I get it now! Callum was Leopold’s best bud, kind of like you and me.”

Thalassa nodded in agreement.

With her eyes wide as saucers, Hertha fixed her gaze on Thalassa. “Are you saying Leopold’s dying wish was for you to leave Lysander? And Callum is helping carry out Leopold’s last request?”

“Yep,” Thalassa replied.

Callum had tried to convey that very message in their conversations, and it made sense. While Leopold was still kicking, he’d often expressed a wish to whisk Thalassa away to someplace Lysander would never find them. Back then, Thalassa had vehemently rejected Leopold’s proposals, hoping to quash his feelings so he could start fresh, fall for someone else, and get on with his life.
