Chapter 1820
In the dimly lit VIP lounge, a stern voice cut through the tension. Thalassa’s heart sank. That voice… it was David’s!
And the woman who had screamed just moments ago? Susan!
Before Thalassa could even process the situation, a sharp “slap” echoed through the room. Ads by PubFuture
The sound of a palm striking flesh was unmistakable, and from the intensity alone, Thalassa could tell the victim must have been in excruciating pain, probably swelling up by the second.
“Stop, please, no more!” Susan’s pleas for mercy were heartbreaking.
That’s when Lysander’s cool voice brought Thalassa back to reality. “This is the place. Open the door.”
Jolted into action, Thalassa hesitated for a fraction of a second before pushing the door open with trembling hands.
The scene that greeted her was even more chaotic than the sounds had suggested. Two burly men had Susan pinned on a couch, while another held her head back, slapping her relentlessly as David watched, his expression ice-cold. Ads by PubFuture
The sight sent shivers down Thalassa’s spine.
Hearing the commotion, David turned to see Lysander and Thalassa. His stern face softened slightly as he approached Lysander and reported, “Susan hasn’t confessed yet who pulled strings to get her into the finals.”

wasn’t lost on Thalassa. Under normal circumstances, Susan should have been behind bars, yet here she was, participating as a mode in a high-stakes jewelry competition. It was clear someone with considerable influence had orchestrated her release and participation. Content belongs to NovelDrama.Org

Tears streamed down Susan’s face, one side visibly swollen as she looked up and met Lysander’s steely eyes. The fear in her heart was palpable, yet à sudden burst of defiance seemed to overtake her.
