The Billionaire's Secret Quartet

Chapter 1222

Thalassa could feel Lysander’s anger seeping into her skin like a frigid breeze, tensing every muscle in her body. She dared not take his mood lightly.

Her long lashes flickered as she looked up at him. “Callum came to see me today. It was about Debby. I didn’t have any ulterior motives, and I definitely don’t plan on running away again…”

She was cut off abruptly as Lysander’s hand clamped around her chin, his deep-set eyes flashing a warning chill. “If you even think of running away again, it won’t be just his legs I’ll break!”

A twinge of pain shot through Thalassa’s jaw where he held her, causing her to furrow her brow. “You’re hurting me.”

There was a fleeting softness in Lysander’s gaze as he slightly eased his grip.

Feeling a bit of relief, Thalassa continued, “He’s Debby’s cousin, and he was hoping you’d show her some mercy, maybe lessen her sentence.”

She didn’t hide anything from Lysander, telling him everything about her conversation with Callum that was centered around Debby’s situation.
