Chapter 1731She couldn’t believe it. All this time, Thalassa thought Joshua had come up with some genius
strategy to pull the Whitman Group out of its slump. But no, his grand plan was to ride on
Lysander’s coattails to save the company’s reputation!
After all, Lysander was a titan in the business world, a name that could send shivers down the spine
of his competitors. His prowess and audacity were beyond question.
With Joshua stepping down, the personal reputation issues plaguing the Whitman Group’s CEO
would vanish, allowing the stock to recover. And with Lysander’s international renown, his taking
over would surely lure more partners to the Whitman Group.
More partnerships meant a better reputation, which, in turn, meant only one thing for the company’s
stocks: they were going up.
Joshua was a sly old fox, alright. This move would only make the Whitman Group stronger.
Turning around, Thalassa saw Hertha looking utterly dejected. She couldn’t help but burst out in
indignation, “What in the world is Joshua playing at? For three years, he keeps you hidden from the
media, and the moment he acknowledges you, he marries off his youngest daughter to Lysander
and hands over the company. Is he recognizing you or using you?”

The more Hertha thought about it, the angrier she became. Just yesterday, she thought Thalassa
was finally getting the fatherly love she deserved. But today? Today was an entirely different story.
Did any of them even consider Thalassa’s feelings?
It seemed Thalassa was just there to be exploited.
“And Lysander! He claimed to have feelings for you, and now, out of nowhere, he’s marrying
Rosalind! He’s not in love with you. He’s in love with power, with the endless wealth!” Hertha was soworked up she half-wished she could yank those three out of the tablet screen and give them a
piece of her mind.
Thalassa merely offered a bitter smile, saying nothing.
Then came Rosalind’s speech, thanking everyone for their care and looking forward to her
marriage.

seated in a wheelchair, silent and expressionless, were enough to command respect and instill a
sense of awe.

Watching Lysander on the screen, Thalassa felt as though he was looking right at her, his
penetrating gaze seeming to peer into her very soul, causing her heart to ache.
The reporter boldly asked, “Mr. Sinclair, what’s your primary reason for marrying Rosalind from the
Whitman Group? Is it to solve the company’s crisis, or is it out of love?”
“Wow, that reporter’s got guts, hitting Lysander with such a direct question,” Hertha exclaimed, now
thoroughly intrigued.
She quickly looked at Thalassa and asked, “What do you think? Why is Lysander marrying
Rosalind?”
Thalassa pressed her lips together, her eyes still fixed on Lysander’s. It was as if Lysander had this
magical aura that made it impossible to look away once you locked eyes with him.
“It’s impossible to guess what he’s thinking; otherwise, he wouldn’t be Lysander,” Thalassa said
quietly.Hertha pondered, “True, Lysander’s always been unpredictable. But I still want to know, is it for
status, wealth, or does he genuinely love Rosalind?”
As she finished, Hertha focused intently on the live feed on the tablet.
The room fell silent after the reporter’s question, everyone eagerly awaiting Lysander’s response,
hoping to catch a bombshell news story.
Everyone wanted to know if the notoriously cold-hearted Lysander could genuinely love the woman
he was about to marry.
