Her ID card showed she was 45, but the woman in front of the cop just couldn’t match in appearance.
Thalassa’s heart skipped a beat. Just as feared, the inevitable happened.
Thankfully, the photo on the ID card was of her mom when she was young, and she and Evelyn looked strikingly alike.
People always said she was the spitting image of a young Evelyn.
Awkwardly, she chuckled and said. “Well, I do a lot of cosmetic treatments, even had some facelift surgeries, so I might look a bit younger than my age.”
The officer gave her another puzzled look, but didn’t dwell on it and just proceeded with the registration.
Facelift surgeries were pretty commonplace. It wasn’t a big deal to see someone in their 40s looking like they were in their 20s.
Thalassa let out a sigh of relief. Thank god she wasn’t busted, or she could kiss her job at the Sinclair group goodbye.
She had a big family to support. If she lost her job, they’d have no money and would be in serious trouble.
Just as her nerves started to relax, Thalassa felt a cold gaze on her.
She turned around and found Lysander’s icy eyes staring at her.
The intensity of his gaze sent shivers down her spine. Holy crap, it was terrifying What had she done wrong?
A mocking smirk appeared on Lysander’s face. He looked away in disdain,
This woman… no wonder she was so desperate, hooking up with random men. Because she was dirt poor yet obsessed with beauty treatments and addicted to facelift surgeries,
Her face was full of chemical fillers.
The thought of him touching her, even finding her skin soft and famuliar, sent chills down Lysander’s spine.
How could he be interested in a woman who’s had facelift surgeries?
The case was moving forward smoothly, supported by David’s testimony and the recorded evidence.
The accusations from John’s wife that Thalassa seduced her husband were unfounded. Plus, there was no evidence tying the broken leg incident to Thalassa
So, the police let Thalassa go.
John’s wife wouldn’t let it go, but Thalassa wasn’t a pushover. She filed a counterclaim against John for harassment, and against his wife for slander. causing her emotional distress.
-The police took the case and held John’s wife for further investigation.
Thalassa was satisfied with the outcome.
Seeing Lysander and David walking out of the police station, she hurried to catch up, “Mr. David.”
David stopped and turned to her, “What’s up?
ל
Gratefully. Thalassa said, Thank you. If it weren’t for you, things wouldn’t have gone so smoothly today.”
David replied, “No problem. You should be thanking Mr. Sinclair.”
After saying this, David hurried to catch up with Lysander.
In fact, the smooth progress of the case was also due to the respect the police had for Lysander. Seeing Lysander and David together, they assumed he was on their side and weighed the evidence more heavily, which worked in Thalassa’s favor.
Thank Lysander? Why should she thank him?
Thalassa blinked in confusion.
But, as long as the matter was resolved, she was glad.
Thalassa hailed a taxi from the roadside. She wanted to go home and check on her kids first.
Lysander returned to the Sinclair group
Faye immediately approached him, reporting as they walked, “Mr. Sinclair, we’ve found the families of the four children. I was just about to discuss compensation issues with them”
As Lysander strade towards his office, his voice was stern and resolute, “Pass these documents to David. Let him handle it. You go to Hollowbrook and investigate that woman.”
