Chapter 491
Lysander cast a sidelong glance at Hertha, who was mid-sentence, and then at Thalassa, who was slightly lifting her chin with a sense of entitlement in her clear
eyes.
Was she hiding something?
Lysander’s eyes darkened, “Starting tomorrow, you’ll work until 7 p.m.!”
With that, he strode away, followed by David.
Thalassa quickly stopped David, asking with a mix of confusion and hurt, “What does Mr. Sinclair mean? Why does he want me to work late?”
David grimaced slightly, “Because you have too much free time.”
With that, he hurried to catch up with Lysander.
Thalassa’s eyes widened, half angry, half amused, “I have too much free time? When am I free?”
“Exactly. You’re as busy as a bee and spending no time with your kids. How is that called free?” Hertha chimed in.
Thalassa was about to agree when she realized Hertha’s sarcasm. Her face instantly flushed as she nudged Hertha’s shoulder, “Stop teasing me”
“Ha-ha, at least you’re not completely oblivious, Hertha laughed heartily.
“Let’s go before Lysander comes back and catches you. Then you really won’t have time for your kids.” There was still a suspicious tinge of sarcasm in her voice, but she was also telling the truth.
Hertha held Thalassa’s hand as they left the shopping mall together.
On the ride home, Hertha drove while Thalassa sat in the passenger seat.
“Why did you interrupt me earlier? Did you need to hide something?” Hertha asked.
Thalassa shared everything that happened recently, her tone was filled with despair.
“What? Lysander has the same circular pendant and he thought you stole his? Are you the type to steal? Would someone who can easily give away $200,000 steal for it?”
Hertha was genuinely upset. His suspicion was unfair to Thalassa, who was kind-hearted, righteous, and principled.
But Thalassa worried about revealing her kids. So she didn’t dare to tell Lysander the truth.
It was such a bitter pill to swallow.
“In the end, it doesn’t matter what he thinks of me. The sooner he dislikes me, the sooner he’ll leave me alone” Thalassa hadn’t fully explained that she hadn’t stolen the pendant, intending to make Lysander dislike her
If he hated her so much and never wanted to see her again, that would be the best.
“Thalassa, I both envy and sympathize with you, Hertha sighed.
She envied Thalassa for having a man like Lysander – handsome, well-built, and chansmatic. But she also felt sorry for her loss of freedom and constant need to hide.
“I envy you too,” Thalassa said.
The black Rolls-Royce smoothly traveled down the asphalt road.
Lysander leaned back on the seat, his demeanor somber.
“David, look into the relationship between that woman and Thalassa, Lysander instructed.
Thalassa had hastily interrupted Hertha. What was she hiding? What did she not want him to know?
“Should I only look into their relationship or all of their interactions?” David asked.
“All of them,” Lysander commanded, his deep voice echoing in the car, his gaze inscrutable.
