Chapter 162
Lysander’s gaze was as cold as ice, piercing straight into Faye.
His eyes were like a sharp sword, stabbing Faye’s heart. She felt a chill run through her body and involuntarily lowered her head.
Isabella was scared out of her wits, fearing that Lysander wouldn’t believe her, which would lead to more torture. Shaking in David’s grip. her teeth chattering, she pleaded and defended herself in terror, “Mr. Sinclair, I didn’t lie. Everything I said is true. Thalassa slapped me today because I lied to her. The swelling on my face, it was all because of Thalassa.”
As she spoke, she pointed at her swollen face with trembling hands, hoping to prove the truth of her words.
Seeing that she had spilled all the beans, David let go of her, feeling like his hand had been dirtied by her.
He pushed her away and dusted off his hand in disgust.
Isabella fell to the ground, shaking all over. A puddle of water spread out on the ground.
She was so scared she wet herself.
Faye was panicking inside.
What a blockhead Isabella was! How could she spill the beans like that?
Now Lysander would be even more determined not to let them off the hook!
Lysander’s eyes flickered as he looked at Isabella’s face.
Her face was indeed swollen, her eyes puffy, making her look like a bloated frog.
So, it was Thalassa who hit her.
It seemed that Thalassa was deeply disgusted with their actions too.
She must have wanted to find him sooner….
It was Isabella and Faye who conspired together, causing him and Thalassa to miss out on five years.
This was unforgivable.
Lysander’s gaze was as cold as frost as he turned to Faye, asking. “Do you have anything to say for yourself?”
Five years ago, he asked Faye to find Thalassa and bring her to him. But Faye had the audacity to say Thalassa was dead and even conspired with Isabella to confuse and deceive him by having Thalassa’s family hold a funeral for a dead pig!
The nerve of her!
Faye was kneeling in front of Lysander, her body taut, her heart trembling with fear, but she managed to keep her face expressionless, only showing a pitiful look.
“Mr. Sinclair, Thalassa was born in a rural area, poor and uneducated. Her family is a mess, she didn’t even graduate from college. Whether the education or family background, she is far from your match. So, I lied about her death to make you give up. There are many outstanding daughters of wealthy families around you, any of them are better than Thalassa.”
Normally, Faye was smart and capable, always high and mighty, bustling about.
But now, facing Lysander’s coldness, even though she was constantly encouraging and comforting herself, trying to calm herself down, she was still intimidated by Lysander’s powerful aura. Even her voice was trembling.
She wanted to say that she did it all for Lysander’s sake, hoping that Lysander would be lenient.
Lysander sneered, “For my sake? Who do you think you are to qualify?”
She was just a secretary arranged by Zephyr.
In her work, apart from carrying out her assigned tasks, what right did she have to interfere in his personal affairs?
The Sinclair family didn’t need to enhance their glory or expand their influence through his marriage. With his capabilities, increasing the Sinclair group’s profits was a piece of cake.
Neither Zephyr nor Sybil had the right to interfere in his marriage. Not to mention Faye, as a secretary, had the power to interfere in his personal matters.
What a fool she was!
