The Billionaire’s Secret Quartet

Chapter 194

Chapter 194

Thalassa was a hot mess. Her heart was filled with bitterness, heartache, disappointment, and loss. He

r swirling emotions were a mixed bag.

She clenched her fist at her side, trying to keep her emotions in check.

She had once been deeply in love with Leopold.

But after that unexpected incident

and five years of life grinding them down, she knew there was no going back to what they had.

Taking a deep breath, she looked at Isabella and said flatly. “What’s done is done. There’s no undoing it

. And as for Leopold and I, we’re strangers now”

With that, she tumed on her heel and left the room, leaving Isabella wordless.

Isabella watched her go, wanting to call her back but couldn’t. Every movement caused excruciating pa

in in her hands and feet, and even her heart ached with each breath.

Lysander sure had a heavy hand. He had left her in this pitiful state and it was all thanks to Thalassa.

Now that Lysander knew Thalassa was the woman from that night five years ago, he would surely pam Content © NôvelDrama.Org.

per her with a life of luxury and

ease.

Wouldn’t he treat her even better, considering how kind and generous the people around this woman fr

om his past were?

Isabella was green with envy and not about to take it lying down!

Why should Thalassa get to live a sweet life? To be cherished by Lysander?

She should be stuck in the gutter, living hand–to–mouth!

So Isabella hatched a plan. She would make Lysander despise Thalassa and kick her to the curb.

And what’s the best way to make a man hate a woman? Make him see her betray him.

Which man could stand being betrayed?

When the time came, Lysander would toss Thalassa aside like yesterday’s trash.

And the only man who could get Thalassa’s attention was Leopold.

She had thought that expressing regret about the past would make Thalassa forgive Leopold and agre

e to reconnect with him. But Thalassa, ever the straight shooter, shot her down!

Five years ago, Isabella used her status as Thalassa’s cousin to add Leopold on social media.

She had been messaging him for five years and never got a reply.

Until she offered him news about Thalassa. That’s when he finally responded.

That’s when she realized he hadn’t deleted her because he had feelings for her, but because he wante

d to keep tabs on Thalassa!

It was a slap in the face for Isabella.

But she had no choice. To take down Thalassa, she had to swallow her pride and give up on Leopold.

Thalassa quickly left the hospital.

She had thought that hearing about Leopold again wouldn’t affect her.

That she had moved op from her past feelings.

But when Isabella merely mentioned his name, her heart started racing, unable to find calm.

Almost without thinking, she pulled out her phone and opened Facebook, and sure enough, there

was a friend request.

She clicked on the profile picture. It was a selfie of Leopold.

His handsome face was as it always was, only now it was devoid of its usual smile and filled with melan

choly.

His eyes were full of youthful energy, as if the sun itself was dancing in them.

Seeing him brought her back to her college days, the happiest and most vibrant time of her life.

A wave of suppression washed over her.

She quickly closed the picture, exited the app, and did not accept the friend request.

Just as she had told Isabella, a mistake was a mistake, and regret changed nothing. Leopold’s betrayal

was just that. There were no

excuses.

Now, she and Leopold were strangers. Their lives would never intersect again.

She went to the hospital cafeteria, found Evelyn and the kids, and told Isabella’s mother, “Ma’am, Isabe

lla is asking for you. I’ll cover the meal. Could you take some food up to her? We’ll leave once we’re do

ne eating.”
