Chapter 43 

The files mentioned that Lysander spent the night with a woman named Celia Everhart. 

Celia’s dad kicked the bucket when she was just a little squirt due to sickness. 

Celia lived with her mom, aunt, and cousin, who was her aunt’s daughter. 

Her aunt, named Evelyn, hailed from Rivertown, Eldoria. She was a bit of a wild child, she had a kid out of wedlock and couldn’t register the kid’s identity So she moved to Hollowbrook and registered her daughter under Celia’s parents’ names as Thalassa.  Sᴇaʀ*ᴄh the FindNøvᴇl.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Thalassa had been using her mom’s ID card all along, which explained why shed tell Lysander she was from Rivertown, Eldoria. 

However, five years ago, Celia got whacked by a collapsing old house during a heavy downpour, leaving only her mom, aunt, and cousin in the family 

Thalassa was no saint. She had a sticky finger habit since she was a kid, she even got nabbed for it and spent some time in the slammer, so she had a criminal record. 

With the record, Thalassa found it tough to get a job or do anything, so she’d been out and about using her mom Evelyn’s ID, pulling all sorts of scams, doing odd jobs, and reeling in men. 

Now, the janitor at the Sinclair Group named Thalassa was Celia’s cousin 

Just like the file said, not only was she good at getting men all wound up, she was a crook too! 

Lysander didn’t see it coming that she was also a thief and had even been tossed into the police station for stealing. 

How could such a woman be Celia’s cousin? 

They grew up together, could their characters be somewhat similar? 

Lysander had a poker face and deep black eyes 

Maybe he could figure out Celia’s character from Thalassa 

After all, they grew up together, under the same roof, and received the same upbringing 

Even if Thalassa’s character wasn’t exactly like Celia’s, it certainly had similarities 

That night, if it weren’t for Celia saving him with her body, he’d be pushing daisies by now 

And that night, amidst the thunderstorm, he tried to have his way with her. 

She bit him hard, and he felt her helplessness and fear 

The taste of her lingered in his mind. 

She was irreplaceable to him and she was the only past he couldn’t forget. He longed to find her and apologize deeply. 

No wonder he found Thalassa familiar; it turned out she grew up with Celia and lived under the same roof for over twenty years. 

Celia and Thalassa must have similarities, that’s why he sensed familiarity with Thalassa. 

Although Isabella was Celias cousin, he never had a soft spot for her, she was just like a stranger 

If it weren’t for Isabella being Celia’s cousin, he wouldn’t let her step foot in his office. 

After skimming through the files, Lysander put the files back, and his deep gaze fell on Faye: “How much green did you give the Everhart family back then?” 

Lysander gave Faye 5 million dollars back then and asked her to help Celia’s family with it and distribute it among her relatives and friends. 

He didn’t ask for the nitty-gritty because he had always trusted Faye’s ability to handle things. 

Faye was a bit guilty, but she hid it well. She sat up straight and answered Lysander directly: “I gave them 3 million. The remaining 2 million was handed over to her other relatives and friends.” 

“Yes, Faye gave me and another uncle 500,000 each At this point, Isabella also came forward to defend Faye, 

After speaking, she swiftly glanced at Faye, who also silently returned the glance. 

The two exchanged tacit understandings; this was the understanding that they had developed over the past five years.
