The Billionaire's Secret Quartet

Chapter 1114

Ethan was seething inside after Lucy’s brazen comment, chewing over the rumor about him and Lysander as if it were a piece of juicy gossip.

She had some nerve, spouting off like that in front of him.

As his expression changed, Thalassa spoke up.

With a smirk that didn’t quite reach his eyes, Ethan retorted, “Someone who can never speak kind thought, well, sounds more like a barking dog to me.”

Lucy’s face flushed with embarrassment, her intent to lash out at Thalassa thwarted. Thalassa hadn’t called her a dog outright; it was Ethan who had uttered the word.

Without any real grounds for a comeback, she forced a laugh, then turned to Ethan with a sycophantic smile. “Mr. Ethan, I apologize for the spectacle. To be frank with you, Thalassa is the result of my husband’s indiscretion. I just worry she might follow in her mother’s footsteps- shameless and fickle, always have one eye on what they already have and the other on what they don’t. I wouldn’t want you to be misled.”

Ethan was about to respond when a chilling, commanding voice cut through the air.
