Chapter 1345
Every woman would go crazy for the chance to be close to him. Susan would fight tooth and nail for even a sliver of an opportunity to get near him.
And now, she was just one step away from closing that distance. If she could drive a wedge between Thalassa and Lysander, she would be the one standing by his side.
For that, she’d risk her parents’ safety without a second thought.
Her father had AIDS, and he would die sooner or later. Her mother, clinging to such a pathetic excuse for a man, was a lost cause. The constant fights and the refusal to divorce had drained Susan of any filial affection.
Her parents had gambled away their life savings, and even the last money she’d earned had been squandered.
Susan could foresee it – her parents would come begging for money, indifferent to the hardships she endured, as long as she filled their coffers.
After all, Bruce loved nothing but money, and Lucy loved Bruce more than her own daughter.
What use were such parents?
Destroying them seemed the only logical step.
Bruce was in jail, which worked out perfectly. Susan knew all his dirty secrets, so, armed with an old sex tape of Bruce and Evelyn, she crafted a scandalous narrative and leaked it

If she was going down, she’d take everyone with her.
Evelyn had to die. Only with Evelyn gone would Thalassa hate Lysander.

“Daddy, that mean lady was awful. I had treated her a raw egg to eat,” Elowen said with a

trembling voice, still shaken.
“If I were a superhero, I’d use my power punch to make her spit blood,” Dorian declared, fists clénched.
“Daddy, I want to smash her with our vintage baseball bat!” Sophia said, her small hands mimicking the action.
“Daddy, I can hack her information, and drain her bank account!” Atticus puffed, furious at the thought of someone bullying his mom.
The children were angry, unable to tolerate the injustice they witnessed.
“No worries, she’ll be punished,” Lysander replied in his deep, soothing voice and turned to
look at Thalassa.
Their eyes met, hers brimming with tears, her lips and chin quivering with shock or perhaps heartache.
Seeing her like this sent a sharp pain through Lysander’s heart. He took a step toward her.
“Thalassa.”
“Don’t touch me!” Thalassa recoiled just as he reached out to her.
