The Billionaire’s Secret Quartet by Thalassa
Chapter 506

Chapter 506 

While in a local card club, Evelyn, to make herself look better, inadvertently lost a fortune. 

A man who introduced himself as a fund manager sat beside her, regaling her with the benefits of investing in mutual funds. 

And all her card buddies were egging her on. 

In a moment of impulsivity, Evelyn was swayed by the man’s words and invested her entire three million into the so-called mutual funds. 

Throughout the process, her phone was off due to a drained battery. It was only after the man had finished his operations that she left the club. 

While she was picking up the kids and returning home, Evelyn had the dreadful realization-she might have been conned. 

She was in a daze, her heart pounding with fear. 

Yet, a glimmer of hope remained made her believe that she might not have been duped.  Sᴇaʀ*ᴄh the Find ɴøᴠel.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Now, hearing Thalassa’s thoughts, Evelyn’s defenses completely crumbled. 

With a palpable tension in the air, Thalassa took a deep breath, moved closer, and gently patted Evelyn’s back. She tried to console her, “Don’t cry, mom. We can report it to the police and get it back. Just give me the contact details of the man and describe his look to me.” 

Evelyn clutched Thalassa’s clothes in tears. She was sobbing intermittently as she recounted the incident. 

Meanwhile, at the Royal Estates. 

Lysander had just finished his breakfast and was about to head to the company. 

The butler, Fitch, emerged from the backyard in a fluster. He quickly approached Lysander and respectfully reported, “Lysander, I discovered this circular pendant under the leg of a table in the antique gallery.” 

Lysander’s deep-set gaze swept over to him. 

In Fitch’s left hand was a circular pendant, and in his right hand was another identical circular pendant, presented in front of him. 

Two identical pendants-the very same one that was reported missing from the Royal Estates! 

The sole pendant seemed to magically double itself. 

Lysander’s piercing gaze landed on Fitch, “You better have a good explanation for this!” 

Fitch, frightened by Lysander’s intimidating demeanor, hung his head and cautiously explained, “We indeed searched thoroughly for the missing circular pendant, but we found nothing. This time, I discovered it under the table leg while cleaning. It was being pressed by the leg, luckily unbroken. If our circular pendant from the Royal Estates wasn’t lost, then this other one might belong to Ms. Everhart…” 

Knowing Thalassa’s unique place in Lysander’s heart, Fitch tried to explain the sudden appearance of the pendant while also defending Thalassa. 

The pendant wasn’t stolen by Thalassa. Everyone had misunderstood her, especially Lysander. 

He should understand that it was all a misunderstanding. 

He hoped his words would ease Lysander’s mood. 

But as he finished speaking, Lysander’s aura turned icy, his face dark and cold. 

His gaze was sharp and chilling, filled with oppression and frost. 

Fitch stiffened, not daring to utter another word. 

Lysander’s penetrating gaze fixated on the two identical pendants in Fitch’s hands. 

A sense of danger and coldness began to spread. 

If this was just a misunderstanding, why hadn’t Thalassa cleared it up? 

Why did she stop halfway through her explanation, and rather bear the blame of stealing the pendant? 

Was she hiding something? 

Was there a secret she didn’t want him to know? 

Lysander’s breath became heavy. He recalled that she had enthusiastically brought Amelia to see him at the office earlier that morning. 

And she had even stayed in the office after Amelia’s arrival. 

Her demeanor had shifted to a nervous one after hearing David mention that the toy store owner’s information had been sent to him… 

Lysander took out his phone and logged into his work email. He continued reading the data he hadn’t finished earlier. 

Besides the introduction of the toy store owner, there were two videos in the data. 

Both were related to Thalassa. 

They showed Thalassa shopping at a mall with the four children.
