Chapter 854
Thalassa felt her world spinning as she hit the ground, but she wasn’t in pain. A strong hand had cushioned her head, sparing her from the impact of the
concrete.
Her body rolled a few times in the man’s embrace before coming to a stop.
The chaotic scene left Thalassa disoriented.
“Thalassa, are you okay?” A lean, muscular arm scooped her waist, lifting her from the ground. The deep baritone voice couldn’t hide the underlying anxiety.
Lifting her head, Thalassa met the tense face of Lysander and his eyes, which were focused on her so intensely.
She swallowed a lump of fear, whispering, “I’m okay.”
Lysander’s tight gaze relaxed slightly as his deep eyes instantly filled with anger. He growled, “What were you doing standing in the middle of the road? Have you lost your mind?”
Thalassa flinched at his roar. His intense anger was terrifying and making her heart throb.
She steadied herself on the ground, gently pushing away the hand circling her waist and avoiding his intense gaze. “There was no crosswalk… she began. “And you knew there was no crosswalk! Why did you cross there?” Lysander’s voice was harsh, his eyes filled with rage.
Had he not checked her location and rushed over, she would’ve been hit by a truck and turned into dust!
Thinking about it made Lysander shudder, his anger uncontrollable.
Thalassa listened to Lysander’s reprimand, her body cold and pale. She clenched her hands at her sides, and after a while, she turned back to him with teary eyes, “I’ve seen the accident clarification news released by the Sinclair group! You’ve known about the cause of the accident due to the phone’s quality issues, why are you only addressing it now?”
After she finished, she looked at him with a mix of hope and anxiety. She hoped things weren’t as they seemed.
She hoped Leopold’s death wasn’t his fault.
She hoped his explanation would be reasonable and understandable.
But Lysander just looked at her accusing with doubtful gaze. It felt like a thorn that caused pain in the deepest part of his heart.
His handsome face turned cold and her eyes were icy as he met her gaze, “Are you questioning my business decisions?”
Business decisions?
Thalassa’s hope and perturbation faded away at his words.
Her heart, which had been filled with a vague hope, suddenly felt empty and heavy.
Yes, what excuses or reasons could he have for his actions?.
It was all because of his business decisions!
Because of his business decisions, he could even ignore the lives of others!
This was Lysander, the ruthless and merciless businessman who would stop at nothing to get what he wanted.
Like when he took over the Thorne group and the Brennan Group, he used the same decisive and ruthless methods.
Thalassa lowered her gaze; her breath hitched and she felt like she was plunged into an icy pit.
Lysander, the man who was standing in front of her, was as terrifying as a hellish devil.
How could she stay with such a terrifying man?
How could she leave her kids with such a horrific person?
