The Billionaire’s Secret Quartet novel Chapter 1722

Thalassa didn't argue back. To get the answers she needed, confronting Susan directly was the best approach. After all, Callum was only there to uncover the truth for her. How could he possibly know the details of how Susan set her up?

They soon arrived at the police station. Susan was locked up, crouched in a cell, looking defeated and as miserable as a stray dog caught in a storm.

"Susan, get up. You've got visitors!" The officer banged on the metal door authoritatively.

Lifting her head slowly, Susan's dim gaze landed on Thalassa, and then on Callum standing beside her. Her eyes suddenly sparked to life. Scrambling to her feet, she rushed to the bars, gripping them tightly, her voice urgent as she addressed Callum, "Why did it take you so long to get here?"

Thalassa immediately stepped in front of Callum, eyeing Susan warily, "Mr. Gordon was gathering evidence for me. Why are you so bitter towards me?"

Susan's gaze tried to pierce past Thalassa, fixated on Callum with a clear plea in her eyes. Callum, usually smiling, now had a look of stern warning directed at Susan.

Seeing the shift in Callum's expression, Susan's briefly brightened eyes dimmed again, fear taking over. She lowered her lashes, only to sharply look up again, her gaze fierce as she spat at Thalassa, "What are you here for, to gloat?"

"Watch your mouth!" The officer rapped on the door again, a threatening reminder to Susan.

Intimidated by the authority, Susan slightly moderated her tone but her breathing was heavy with anger, her eyes still brimming with hatred and ferocity as she glared at Thalassa, her grip on the bars whitening her knuckles.
