The Billionaire’s Secret Quartet by Thalassa
Chapter 472

Chapter 472 

Bruce assumed that she, out of paternal affection, persuaded Lysander to sign the investment contract. 

Lysander believed that she did it out of self-interest. He thought the bonds between her and Bruce ran deep. 

No wonder Lysander’s punishment of her escalated after the gourmet competition. 

He became colder and more overwhelming. 

He thought she was in cahoots with Bruce, and that made him despise her even more. 

And he vented all his anger on her! 

But why did he ask for her opinion when signing the contract? 

Could she just brush it all of if he didn’t ask? 

In her shock, Thalassa suddenly understood why Lysander had asked her. 

He wanted to see if she really had any bond with Bruce. 

Because she said to sign, he was even more convinced that her heart was with Bruce. 

Thinking about this, Thalassa hated herself. 

Why did she suggest him to sign? 

She admitted that at the time she hoped the gourmet competition would go smoothly because her daughter was participating. 

But she was more than that. She was committed to being fair in her work. 

As a businesswoman, she put profit in the first place. 

She thought that the gourmet competition would create profits for the Sinclair Group, so she suggested signing. That was a justifiable response. And the contract was already in Lysander’s hands anyway.. 

If Lysander had no intention of signing, the contract wouldn’t have appeared before him. 

One wrong word had caused so much misunderstanding. 

Thalassa wished she could turn back time, back to when Lysander asked her whether to sign or not. 

She would definitely say no without hesitation! 

This way, neither side would misunderstand her intentions. 

Regretting her previous actions, Thalassa was furious with Bruce. 

She glared at Bruce and said, “You’re overthinking it, Bruce. Whether Lysander invests or not isn’t something I, a low-tier secretary, can decide. No one can sway his decisions! It’s the profits from the gourmet competition that will attract his investment. I didn’t say anything!” 

“Thalassa, you’re too humble. You’re not just a secretary. You’re the mother of Lysander’s kids.” Bruce leaned in closer with a knowing, condescending grin. 

Thalassa leaned back in defense, “What are you doing?” She pulled back her chair and asked in fear. 

Thalassa, don’t be scared. You’re my daughter. I wouldn’t do anything to hurt you.” Her rejection was adamant, so Bruce reassured her that way as he distanced himself. 

“I’m just… happy for you.” He said.  Sᴇaʀ*ᴄh the Find_Nøvel.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

“I’ve told you, I’m not the mother of those kids. And the kids are not Lysander’s!” Thalassa gazed into his eyes. Feeling fraught, she hastily denied any relationship with the children 

f 

“Thalassa, you’re wrong. There’s no need to hide it Besides, having Lysander’s kids is an honor. Many women wish to bear Lysander’s child but they don’t have the opportunity. You’re ahead of them with a better chance of marrying Lysander. Later, you can depend on your kids and even help me. My promotion will count on you.” 

Bruce was too happy to contain his greed and ambition. 

He didn’t expect to have a daughter who accomplished so much, bearing the children of Lysander, the king of Starhaven. And she was close with Lysander. 

What’s more, Lysander, who was showing interest in his daughter, helped her mother out and almost beat his ass off. 

Despite being beaten, Bruce was still very happy. 

Thalassa was shocked. 

So this is Bruce’s plan, she thought.
