Chapter 1314
Thalassa’s heart skipped a beat as she watched Lysander flip open the folder. Time seemed to crawl to a halt, each tick of the clock stretching into eternity. She could hear her own heavy breathing, her pulse thundering in her ears, heart leaping to her throat as she reached out desperately.
But in that split second her hand lunged forward, Lysander deftly shifted his grip, avoiding her touch.
She grasped at thin air, shock painting her face as she turned to face Lysander, whose calm and handsome features had now transformed into a tempest of icy wrath. His usually eyes flared crimson, anger pulsing through the veins on his hand clutching the documents.
Thalassa was petrified, her breath caught in her chest as she watched the fury blaze across Lysander’s face, like an imminent volcanic eruption that chilled her to the bone.
Witnessing Lysander finally confront the contents of the folder, Susan couldn’t hide the smug triumph on her face.
Ethan and David had been in a fog, unsure why Thalassa had been so anxious about a mere folder. But now, as they saw Lysander’s reactions after laying eyes on those documents, they understood.
Exchanging a knowing look, Ethan and David remained silent. Lysander was on the razor’s edge of rage, and whoever spoke out at this moment was in for misfortune.
Thalassa had given up on trying to snatch back the folder. Her heart felt like a heavy stone, pounding against her ribcage, each beat a hammer strike.
Trembling, her body shook uncontrollably as she watched the frost on Lysander’s face grow thicker, his eyes bloodshot with fury.
He flipped through the pages-first, second, third, fourth… By the time he’d scrutinized all the pages, his handsome face became a mask of cold fury, his temples throbbing with visible veins.
An icy aura enveloped him, freezing even the air around them, his presence so powerful it was suffocating.
As Lysander finished reading, his blood-red eyes cut sharply toward Thalassa.
Her heart quivered under his piercing gaze, her muscles tensing in involuntary response.
“Look what your father had done! He must pay with his life!” Lysander seethed through clenched teeth, his eyes ablaze as he hurled the folder at Thalassa.
The icy breath of his anger brushed against Thalassa’s face, her own breath crystallizing in fear.

She pressed her hands against the folder instinctively.
Lysander turned abruptly and walked away.
“Lysander, I had no idea my dad had done such vile things. I found this folder in our study and thought I should bring it to you,” Susan’s voice feigned anxiety. “To think Thalassa’s mother and my dad, how despicable they were…”
“Shut up!” Lysander stopped dead, his razor-sharp gaze slicing toward Susan.
The frozen, lethal look in his eyes, coupled with the deep growl of his anger, sent shivers down Susan’s spine.
Lysander was terrifying now, almost scaring her to death.
Susan shuddered, her eyes wide with fear as she faced Lysander.
His cheeks twitched with rage, his temples bulged, and his crimson eyes glinted with fury. If looks could kill, Susan would be riddled with countless arrows now.
Rooted to the spot, Susan’s heart pounded as she took a step back.
She had hoped to shape her image in front of Lysander, to reveal how her father, Bruce, had dishonored Thalassa’s mother, hoping Lysander would see Thalassa in the same light.
