Chapter 1341
And Thalassa’s mother was the key witness, as Bruce had once swindled billions from
Evelyn.
By chance, Evelyn came to him that day, revealing that Thalassa was actually not Bruce’s daughter. The news was like a ray of light piercing through the dark storm clouds of his rage and bitterness.
In that moment, he decided he would marry Thalassa! He would never let her go for as long as he lived.
She was carrying his child, and was already the mother of his four other children. For this life, he only had the intense desire to keep Thalassa by his side forever.
Leopold was gone, no longer a threat to him, and Thalassa wasn’t Bruce’s daughter. He had no reason not to marry her.
And the most important thing was that he loved her, and he wanted to make her his wife.
Whether she agreed or not was irrelevant. The desire to make her his was his alone.
Lysander’s sleek black Rolls-Royce made its way straight to Thalassa’s home.
Thalassa and the children were seated around the dining table enjoying a meal, having just endured a nasty exchange with Isabella, who Thalassa had sent away with some sharp words.
Now, harmony was restored to the household as they ate, until someone entered through
the door.
This person brought with them a chill that seemed to spread through the room.
Thalassa, thinking it was Isabella returning to annoy her again, spun around in irritation. “Can’t you take a hint and leave us alone?”
But before she could finish her sentence, she caught sight of Susan, who was decked out in heavy makeup, dressed in shorts and a belly-baring top.
Thalassa paused mid-sentence.
Susan’s trendy outfit was the epitome of urban glitz and glamour, completely out of place amid the pastoral serenity of the countryside.
Thalassa frowned, clearly annoyed. “What are you doing here? There’s nobody for you.”
Thalassa knew all too well that Susan was after Lysander.
That woman was shameless, dead set on bedding Lysander, and now she had even followed them out to the countryside.

Chapter 1341
“When Isabella said this was your place, I didn’t believe it.” Susan looked around the large, well-decorated villa in surprise. It was truly where Thalassa lived.
She had always assumed Thalassa came from some backwater village, that her family was poor and their home shabby. She never imagined Thalassa’s living conditions would be so good.
Did Isabella give Susan their address?
Thalassa caught the implication in Susan’s words.
That Isabella, always siding with anyone who was Thalassa’s enemy, hadn’t changed one bit. She was still obsessed with making Thalassa’s life miserable.
It was infuriating. The slaps she gave Isabella before were clearly not enough to teach her a lesson.
“What are you here for?” Thalassa’s tone was unfriendly, and she had never been one to mince words with unwanted guests.
The four little ones put down their utensils, climbed off their chairs and toddled over to Susan. They looked up at her with fierce expressions, forming a barrier between Susan and their mother.
Atticus wrinkled his young brow and huffed, “If my mom doesn’t welcome you, neither do we!”
“Exactly, Auntie Wall-Paint, Isabella’s place is over there, please go join her!” Dorian crossed his arms over his chest, pouting defiantly.
“Our food isn’t that good anyway; you should go eat at Isabella’s,” Elowen chimed in, hands on her hips, her cute face looking worried.
She thought Susan had come to mooch off their breakfast. Her favorite treats were not to be shared with someone her mother disliked.
Susan glanced down at the four children at her feet and let out a cold laugh. “So Evelyn. got my dad arrested, and now he’s facing the death sentence. She’s not around to suffer through it or to help you with these four kids, is she?”
