The Billionaire’s Secret Quartet by Thalassa (PDF)
Chapter 279

Chapter 279

Zephyr was ranting, a mix of anger and heartbreak in his voice.

Initially, Zephyr didn't care that Belinda was of humble origins. All he cared about was that Barnett was happy with her.

But then it hit him. How on earth could Belinda have gone from a nobody to somebody, even catching Barnett's eye and beating out all those high-born ladies to become his wife, if she didn’t have some tricks up her sleeve, if she wasn't sharp as a tack, if she wasn't ruthless in her ambition? She must have had her ways, must have been clever, and must have had a knack for drawing men in to climb from the bottom to the top.

A woman like that won't stop when she's reached her goal. It's just not in her nature.

She loved being the center of men's attention and had a knack for stirring up trouble at home, causing headaches for Barnett.

In the end, it even cost Barnett his life.

Every time Zephyr thought of Barnett, his heart ached.

Such a good, brilliant son, gone because of a woman.

As Zephyr recounted the past, it stirred up Grandma Sybil's sad memories.

Thinking about her poor son's past troubles brought tears to her eyes, streaming down her face uncontrollably.

Lysander knew how his parents died, but he'd never heard Zephyr talk about it before.

Hearing it now, he was shaken, his gaze heavy as he looked at Zephyr.

As a kid, he knew that his mom was in love with another man, that she didn't listen to his dad, and that she kept going out on dates with that man.

They fought constantly, throwing things around.

He was small then.

Their fights scared him. He was afraid of losing his home and of being abandoned

As an adult, he often dreamed about their fierce fights, about things shattering, and about broken glass scattered all over the floor.

The nightmares often woke him up.

Childhood traumas took a lifetime to heal from.

He hated that man, the one who tore his family apart.

But he never thought that his parents’ deaths were also caused by that man.

His mom wanted to run away with that man, and his dad went after them, and that's when the accident happened.

“Lysander, if you're not ready to get married, your grandparents won't rush you. Don't make the same mistake your father did.” Zephyr turned around, looking at Lysander with a serious and worried expression.

In Zephyr's eyes, Thalassa was another Belinda.

She came from the bottom, played dirty, stole the Sinclair group's design plans to sell to other companies, and even managed to get Lysander to forgive her, to let her off scot-free. She even pulled Faye Brennan in as the scapegoat.

Her methods not only got her close to Lysander but also got Faye fired from her secretary position, which she then took over.

Such a woman, with no boundaries, would do anything to achieve her goals!

Zephyr had already lost his son in grief, and he couldn't bear another blow like this.

Lysander got it. Zephyr was talking about Thalassa. He said, “Everyone is unique.”

Zephyr felt a pang in his heart, very angry. “Lysander, those on the sidelines can see more clearly. You might be too entangled to see the truth. Fine, let's set a three-month deadline. Three months should be enough to see a person's true colors. If by then you still hold the same view, I won't interfere,” Zephyr said, compromising.
