Chapter 230 Thalassa replied, “Yes, five grand.” She couldn’t tell Evelyn she had been given the boot by the Sinclair group, who then forked out ten grand as compensation. If Evelyn knew, she would surely make noise at the Sinclair group. After all, Thalassa didn’t do anything wrong, so why was she given the axe? If Evelyn went there, she would know the reason for dismissal. It was because Thalassa had been stirring the pot at the company, saying she wanted to be Lysander’s wife. As a result, after Lysander got wind of this, he didn’t propose or console her. He just gave her the sack right off the bat. His intention was pretty clear. He didn’t want to marry her. The moment he heard Thalassa wanted to marry him, he just showed her the door. If Evelyn got a whiff of this, she would surely have a bone to pick with Lysander. Then, things would get really messy, which wouldn’t be good. Most importantly, Thalassa was worried that Evelyn might spill the beans about her having four kids in front of Lysander. Given the kids‘ ages, Lysander would know in a jiffy that they were his children. She couldn’t risk that. So she could only say she quit voluntarily and got picked up by another company. Although she hadn’t found a new job yet, she would hustle to find one. She said she only had five grand because the other five had been spent on compensating Lysander for the tire cost. She only had five grand left. When Evelyn heard Thalassa’s reply, her surprise turned into delight, and she said with a smile, “What a generous company to offer such a big payout. They sure have good taste, knowing my daughter is capable.” Thalassa laughed sheepishly without saying a word. If only she was that popular, she wouldn’t have to worry about finding a good job every day. “Thalassa, give me the money. I’ll keep it for you,” Evelyn said with a grin. Seeing her mom’s eyes, Thalassa knew Evelyn was itching to play poker again. The 1,100 dollars she made before was lost by Evelyn in just one night. It probably wouldn’t even cost Evelyn three nights to gamble away this five grand. Thalassa said, “I just looked up some nearby kindergartens on my phone, and I plan to sign up the kids tomorrow. This money is just enough for a semester’s tuition and living expenses for the four kids.” “What?” Evelyn asked in surprise. She didn’t expect Thalassa to do this. Thalassa put down her fork. She looked seriously at Evelyn and said solemnly. “Mom, the kids are four years old and they’ve never been to school. Other kids start school very early. Although we take them to the bookstore to study. They can read and learn to write, but it’s still not as good as learning in school.” Thalassa told Evelyn about that. Atticus and Dorian, Elowen and Sophia, who were eating, glanced at each other. They learned much more at the bookstore than they did at school. Otherwise, how could four–year–old Atticus be a computer whiz? He could easily dig up all the dirt on Lysander. Dorian loved reading about performance and had a deep understanding of it. In terms of performance, he was a prodigy. Otherwise, the Sinclair group’s receptionist wouldn’t have been so moved by Dorian’s performance that she let them in to see Mr. Sinclair. Elowen was a food lover. As long as she had a taste, she could tell what was added to the food and how it was made. Sophia, on the other hand, was a genius at identifying treasures. Thalassa was oblivious to all of this.

Chapter 228 As a mom, Thalassa had mastered the art of dealing with emergencies, making her reactions quicker than ever. With the speed of lightning. Thalassa grabbed Sophia’s hand and yanked her aside, saving her from a nasty burn from the boiling water. Boiling water sloshed from the stove. Worried about the rest of her children, she outstretched her arm and nudged them away from the danger zone, Seeing her little ones safe and sound in front of her. Thalassa felt a wave of relief wash over her, her heart still pounding like a drum, She looked at her children, who were still a bit dazed from the sudden commotion, Thalassa took this as an opportunity to give them a quick lesson. “Hot water is the enemy when making formula. If you get scalded, it could harm your skin. So, if you guys want to make your own formula with boil water, when you need to reach the kettle, you better get a stool as a booster, then you’ll be able to reach the kettle,” “Mama, got it. From now on, I’ll help my sisters make their formula,” piped up Atticus in his tiny voice. He was the eldest and was always the most sensible and mature one. He always had his own ideas, plus he was quite handy. When the kids were still figuring out how to dress themselves, Atticus was the first to master it, and then he helped his younger siblings with their clothes. “Mama, me too! I’ll go get the stool,” Dorian announced. Swinging his short legs, he dashed out to fetch a stool. Elowen just stared at Thalassa with her big eyes, not uttering a single word. Sophia’s cheeks flushed from the fright. She said timidly, “Mama, I understand, I won’t reach for the kettle directly anymore.” Thalassa smiled, gently patting Sophia’s head, “Sophia, you’re the best. I’ll make you another bottle of formula, one for you and one for Elowen.” “Mama, let me do it. I’ll make the formula for my sisters.” Dorian waltzed in with a toddler’s chair almost as big as him, He was struggling with the chair, but he stubbornly persisted. Thalassa didn’t stop him, instead she said, “I’ll clean up the water on the counter first.” She quickly grabbed a cloth, wiped up the hot water Sophia had accidentally spilled, and stabilized the kettle, Then, she made way for Dorian. Dorian climbed onto the stool and filled the kettle with cold water. He placed it back onto the base, and pressed the switch. His movements were a bit clumsy, but he had the sequence down pat. Even though Thalassa hadn’t shown him how to boil water, Dorian figured it out by himself. Children’s speed of learning and action often exceeded adult expectations. She would never stop her children from being proactive in learning and doing things. Even when there’s danger, Thalassa would teach them how to avoid it, instead of outright stopping them or doing it for them. She couldn’t always be there to protect them. She needed to nurture their self–protection and autonomy, so that they could take care of themselves, which was the best protection for them. Soon enough, the water was ready. Dorian carefully yet clumsily poured some hot water into the bottle, followed by some cold water. Then, he mimicked Thalassa’s movements and added formula to the bottle. Dorian’s tiny hands were a bit shaky, so some formula spilled outside of the bottle. But a bottle of formula was successfully prepared nonetheless. Dorian picked up the bottle and noticed the formula stuck to it. He scratched his head awkwardly and said, “I held it steady. I didn’t shake, but why?” Thalassa gave a gentle smile and said, “Dorian, you did really well, you’re amazing.” Dorian beamed with pride and joy. “I’m mama’s child, mama’s the best.” The innocent and crisp voice of her little one warmed Thalassa’s heart to no end. Elowen and Sophia had their fill of formula, while Dorian and Atticus didn’t want any. The four of them played around Thalassa for a bit, then retreated to their rooms to play with their toys. CMAWAY Chapter 229
Chapter 227 Thalassa wasn’t in the office, but on her desk sat a resignation letter. David went back to the CEO’s office with the envelope in hand and handed it over to Lysander. Lysander saw the words “Resignation Application” on the envelope. He frowned slightly. Opening the envelope, the reason for the resignation was written inside. “Sorry, but I’ve got a better gig and no longer wish to work at the Sinclair Group.” The words were typed but the signature below was unmistakably Thalassa’s own handwriting! That was her true handwriting! Lysander’s face turned gloomy. She really had the guts to quit! Could she afford the $20,000 penalty for breaking the contract? Lysander dialed the HR department. The HR manager said, “Thalassa insisted on quitting and immediately paid the $20,000 penalty. She mentioned her new job offers great benefits. They even gave her a $20,000 signing bonus to poach her.” Zephyr had instructed that Lysander was not allowed to know that Thalassa was actually sacked. If Lysander asked, the HR manager should concoct a story to make him believe that Thalassa quit willingly. After careful consideration, the HR manager thought the excuse he just made up was pretty plausible. After hearing the HR manager’s report, Lysander’s face turned icy cold, as if a storm was brewing. Without uttering a word, he hung up. At Thalassa’s home. She and Hertha had returned home. They heard from Evelyn that while she was out for a bit, Elowen wanted milk and went looking for her to get the milk. Elowen ended up on the road and almost got hit by a car. halassa’s eyes welled up with tears. She was filled with fear and dread. he picked up Elowen’s soft little body, gently patting her tender face, her heart filled with regret and fear, “Elowen, sweetheart. If you want milk, you can tell the neighbor or earn to make it yourself. You can’t go out alone again, okay?” ensing her mom’s concern, Elowen obediently nodded, “Okay, I’ll learn how to make milk. The granny in the neighborhood is too busy to listen to me.” earing Elowen’s innocent words, Thalassa felt a heartache. he wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and put Elowen down. She squatted to her level and gently said, “How about learning how to make milk now?” Okay.” Elowen nodded. Mom, I want to learn too.” Sophia joined in with her little legs swinging. le too.” Dorian raised his hand, “Once I learn, I can help my sister make milk.” ticus said with his serious little face, “I want to learn too.” His reason was the same as Dorian’s. eing her children so enthusiastic and positive, with the two older brothers so caring towards their sisters, Thalassa felt both relieved and heartbroken. right, you all come here, I will teach you.” alassa took the kids to the kitchen and took out the formula and bottles from the cupboard. e mixed hot water with a cold one to make warm water, then scooped a few spoons of formula into the bottle. she worked, she instructed. “If you need 120ml of water, scoop four spoons of formula, if it’s 150ml, scoop five spoons. After scooping the formula, put the lid on and shake it this. Once it’s mixed, it’s ready … Read More “The Billionaire’s Secret Quartet by Thalassa Chapter 227” »
Chapter 226 Seeing a car coming ahead. Hertha quickly swerved the steering wheel to avoid the car thanks to a previous mishap. She didn’t want any accidents happening again because of her carelessness. When the two cars were a decent distance apart, Hertha changed direction and got onto the main road, going with the flow. David pulled up in the car that Lysander was in, parking the car. Lysander opened the door, his shiny black shoes stepping onto the ground, his suit pants nice and crisp. Tall, with an aura of sophistication, Lysander naturally exuded a noble yet intimidating vibe. David followed him into the Sinclair group. In the lobby, Daryl was whispering with Cherry, but she felt a powerful vibe approaching. Turning her head, she saw it was CEO Lysander entering. She quickly stepped aside, bowing her head to greet Lysander’s arrival with respect and humility. Lysander walked into the elevator, his vibe overbearing and intimidating, even the air around him seemed to tremble at his presence. He didn’t even spare a glance at anyone in the room. Lysander took the private elevator up to his office. David was supposed to follow Lysander, but he saw Daryl and Cherry whispering something. So, he stopped and asked Daryl, “What were you guys talking about?” Caught off guard, Daryl knew David was Lysander’s right–hand man, and his position carried a lot of superiority. Pissing off David meant indirectly pissing off Lysander. Daryl dared not to irritate David. She nervously laughed, her eyes darting around, thinking of what to say, “Sir, we said you and Mr. Sinclair are very handsome.” She gave him a thumbs up, her expression and gesture perfectly coordinated. David was pleased to hear this compliment. He had always heard employees discussing Mr. Sinclair’s handsome face, but no one talked about his own appearance. Now hearing someone say he’s handsome made him happy. But he still said, “Don’t discuss this during work hours.” Daryl paused and said weakly, “Okay.” ‘Discuss it after work.” David smiled, then walked into the elevator. Daryl stood there dumbfounded. What did David mean? Discuss his handsomeness after work? In reality, that comment was made up on the spot. She was actually whispering to Cherry about why the higher–ups banned gossip about Thalassa, otherwise, people would be fired and never rehired. Thalassa was fired for spreading these rumors. The warning made all the employees too scared to mention Thalassa’s ambitions of becoming Mrs. Sinclair and a high–ranking officer, and getting the Sinclair group’s shares. Not even a word was dared to be mentioned. Daryl was specifically warned, so of course she dared not to mention that. Lysander returned to his office to finish up his work. There was a meeting in the afternoon. The secretary had to prepare the meeting room in advance. Lysander dialed the secretary’s office phone. However, no one answered. Just then, David walked in and informed Lysander of his schedule, “Mr. Sinclair, the meeting starts in half an hour.” Lysander hung up the phone, then said to him, “Can you check what Thalassa is doing?” This was Thalassa’s first time as a secretary. She should be giving it her all to show her ability and value. David nodded, then went to the secretary’s office.
Chapter 225 Though sneakers can’t give her that royal elegant vibe, they sure do make her feel secure. Faye was so pissed her foundation was about to crack. Her breathing hitched, but she tried hard to keep her anger at bay. Being the heiress of the Brennan group, she had to stay cool and composed. She shouldn’t act like Thalassa, the rude chick who lost her crap. Thalassa stepped out of the Sinclair group, bumping into Hertha parking her car in the lot. Noticing her, Thalassa approached, “Hertha, what brings you here?” “Thalassa, I’m here to pay the compensation, David told me yesterday I needed to wire the money to his account by this afternoon. But all I have is cash,” Hertha said, patting her purse. Thalassa quickly grabbed her arm, whispering. “Keep it low–key so that you won’t get rubbed.” Hertha got cautious, lowering her voice. “Should I go find David then?” Thalassa guided her into the car and hopped in. “You said David asked you to wire the money to his account. Did he give you the account number?” Hertha nodded. “Yes, he texted it to me.” She showed Thalassa the text on her phone. Thalassa saw a string of digits, the bank account number. She said. “Your cash is from your parents, right? Give it back to them. I’ll transfer you five grand, then you can wire that to David.” Hertha’s parents were both civil servants with stable jobs and decent salaries. Although Hertha was working, she’d always spend her entire salary each month. Thalassa knew that Hertha wouldn’t have five grand, so Hertha must’ve asked her parents. Whenever Thalassa was in a tight spot Hertha was always there to help, no questions asked. She was truly touched and grateful Having such a devoted friend like Hertha was the biggest luck in Thalassa’s life. Hertha’s eyes widened in shock, “Thalassa, did you do anything stupid?” Thalassa asked, “What stupid thing would I do?” “You’re not actually considering accepting Lysander’s offer, are you? Paying him out of his own pocket, Thalassa, have you lost your mind?” Ever since hearing about Thalassa’s story with Lysander, Hertha had been strongly against them continuing their relationship. It was clear that Lysander was just toying with Thalassa with no attempt of marrying her. How could Thalassa be so naive? Thalassa was taken aback, then laughed. “You’re overthinking it. The money is from the Sinclair group as compensation for firing me.” “What? You got fired?” Hertha was even more shocked. Thalassa nodded, explaining everything about her promotion to secretary and being fired less than a day later. Hertha gave her a thumbs–up, “Thalassa, that’s some next–level move. But this just further proves that Lysander doesn’t want to marry you. If he did, he would’ve married you right away instead of firing you when he heard the rumor.” Even Hertha could see the logic here. Thalassa said. “Let’s get going. No more visits to the Sinclair group.” Hertha started the car and drove off. Meanwhile, David was driving a Maybach. With Lysander in the car, he pulled into the Sinclair group’s parking lot.

Thalassa asked “Aren’t you supposed to pay me severance?” “Ten thousand dollars has been transferred to your account. Check it,” the HR supervisor said and hung up.

Chapter 222 Another colleague nudged her arm lightly, warning. “Don’t shoot your mouth off.” “I’m not just blabbering; these were Thalassa’s own words. Plus, you see, just yesterday Thalassa was scrubbing floors like the rest of us. Then after work, Mr. Sinclair himself drove her off for overtime, and the next day, boom! She’s Mr. Sinclair’s personal assistant. With her climbing the ladder this fast, it’s just a matter of time before she’s in upper management or even owns a piece of the company.” Daryl was so jealous that her eyes were practically glowing green. She’d honestly thought when Mr. Sinclair had Thalassa get in his car yesterday, it was to clean another office, scrub toilets, or something. She had no idea her overtime meant this. She stopped in her tracks, leaning on her mop, looking all pitiful. “When will Mr. Sinclair ever notice me? I’m not half bad either.” Another colleague chuckled, “There’s a big difference between you and Thalassa. Thalassa’s pure and charming, the type that men fall head over heels for.” “What about me?” Daryl grumbled. “You, my dear, are the type women fall for.” They kept yakking away, completely oblivious to the person still standing in front of the reception desk in the lobby. Faye, overhearing their chatter, shot them a withering look. Cherry, the receptionist, gave a discreet cough to alert them. Hearing the cough, Daryl turned around and was met with a stare as cold as ice. The woman had a commanding, ice–cold, and intimidating presence. Daryl was instantly silenced, hanging her head low, dropping the subject, and going back to mopping the floor. Faye gave Cherry a nod, then stepped into the elevator. She didn’t head to the top floor but went to the executive level to verify what Daryl had been saying. The news traveled faster than she’d thought. The entire executive level knew what Thalassa had been bragging about. The executives were not pleased with this woman, but Thalassa was the personal assistant handpicked by the president himself. Faced with Thalassa’s enormous ambition, these top brass could only fume in silence, not daring to voice their anger. “Murray, don’t worry; I’ll call Zephyr right away and tell him what’s going on with the company,” Faye reassured Murray once she had checked things out. Murray had been with the Sinclair Group for ages and he’d been there since Zephyr took charge. When it came to Zephyr’s grandson Lysander’s turn to take over, he was still there. He’d never seen a woman this power–hungry. He was genuinely afraid that Lysander would hand over the company that had been painstakingly built up by generations to some woman of unknown origins, just because of a crush. Faye called Zephyr, exchanged a few pleasantries, and then got straight to the point. “Grandpa Zephyr, I’m at the company right now; you might not know what’s going on here.” Faye’s voice was gentle and respectful. Zephyr asked, “What’s going on?” Faye seized the opportunity to spill the beans. “Last night, Lysander personally drove Thalassa home from the company and they had an overnight ‘overtime‘ session. This morning. Thalassa is Lysander’s personal assistant. Thalassa’s gotten a taste of the good life, and she’s become arrogant and disrespectful, even openly stating that if she can’t be Lysander’s wife, she’ll be a top executive at the Sinclair Group, and she also wants a share of the Sinclair Group.” Anyone with half a brain would know what “overtime session” meant. Wasn’t this hinting at a special arrangement between the two of them? Lysander was actually this smitten by a woman! Zephyr was already furious, and Faye’s words made him even more angry. However, he couldn’t just take Faye’s word for it, he was somewhat skeptical, asking. “How did you find out about this?” Faye explained, “Thalassa was so smug she blurted it out to her colleagues, and they spread the news around. Now the whole company knows about it. Murray, you tell Zephyr.” Faye handed the phone to Murray. Murray took the phone, looking worried, and said solemnly, “Zephyr, it’s true. In the seven years since Lysander took over the Sinclair Group, he’s always been steady. He can’t lose himself over a woman and ruin the whole Sinclair Group.” This statement made things very serious. This was no longer a minor affair between a man and a woman. This was like a king being bewitched by a beauty and neglecting his duties. This was a disaster for the nation and its people.
Chapter 221 This thing called fate was pretty wild. The little girl’s face vanished from Lysander’s view as the car sped up, replaced by the monotonous cityscape. He closed his eyes to rest and recover, Soon the car arrived at the police station. Lysander pot out. Captain Payne explained to him, “Zephyr personally stepped in and decided not to blame Faye for her mistake, which once led to the enemy company copying the Sinclair Group’s clothing designs. He even signed a guarantee requesting Faye’s release. We can only respect the principal’s wishes and release Faye.” Zephyr, Lysander’s grandpa, was a veteran with national treasure status. Despite his retirement, his prestige still stood, and he had a broad network. Usualb, even Lysander had to consider his grandpa’s wishes, let alone Captain Payne’s. And this case was an internal matter of the Sinclair Group, If the Sinclair Group didn’t pursue it, it’s just a matter of Faye making a mistake. The police can’t force a pursuit, they can only release the person according to their wishes. Lysander didn’t expect his grandpa to interfere in this matter and release Faye. After understanding the situation, Lysander looked really bad, his eyes deep, and he said. “If Grandpa says so, let’s go with it.” His clothing design project was just to satisfy his grandpa’s wish to pick a unique dress for his grandma. It his grandpa didn’t care about the leak in the design plan, he could only respect his wishes. After walking out of the police station, Lysander called Zephyr, his tone icy and authoritative: “This can’t happen again.” He hung up after finishing. On the other side of the phone, Zephyr wanted to talk but only heard the busy signal. His face turned grim. Lysander actually threatened him! He had never spoken to him so coldly. Ever since Thalassa came into his life, his attitude had gotten worse! Zephyr took a deep breath, pissed off. The Sinclair Group After being released, the first thing Faye did was go to the beauty salon to doll herself up, then she went to the Sinclair Group. She wanted to use returning work items as an excuse to see Lysander one more time and say a proper goodbye. But when she got to the Sinclair Group, she found that Lysander wasn’t there. She heard something that made her very angry. Her personal secretary position had been taken over by Thalassa! She had been by Lysander’s side for ten years and couldn’t win his heart. What the hell was Thalassa? Just because she slept with Lysander, she easily won his favor! Thalassa’s really something. She had only been at the Sinclair Group for a month and had climbed from a janitorial position to become the president’s personal secretary. Why!
