The Billionaire’s Secret Quartet novel Chapter 24

It became easy to handle now. Only, she felt a pang of regret for missing out on a golden chance to fire Thalassa. She quickly composed herself and politely said to the police, "Sir, please follow me. Evelyn is right over here."

In the office, Thalassa was halfway through tidying up, deeply troubled about her four children. She called Evelyn, "Mom, the kids showed up at my workplace just now. Are you around?" Her biggest fear was the kids running lost.

"I found them! These little rascals came back to me on their own! I just brought them out for some fresh air and to broaden their horizons, but these little devils ran off and nearly scared me half to death! What did I do to deserve this kind of torture!" Evelyn roared, her voice high pitched and filled with panic from crying.

Thalassa held the phone a bit further from her ear, else she'd be deafened by the yelling. Though Evelyn was complaining, Thalassa caught the main point - the kids were back with her. That was a relief.

"Mom, thanks, we all love you. Take good care of the little ones, I'll bring some treats home after work," Thalassa said softly, trying to soothe Evelyn.

At that moment, the office door was opened and several people walked in. Thalassa spun around in alarm and saw Faye and two police officers at the door. She hurriedly said into the phone, "Mom, I've got some stuff to deal with now, I'll talk to you later." And with that, she hung up and quickly pocketed her phone.

Seeing Thalassa's reaction, Faye's anger and hostility grew. She had heard Thalassa's phone call when she walked in. Those four children were definitely Thalassa's! And one of them was Mr. Sinclair's child!

Faye felt like she was on the verge of a breakdown from jealousy, but she had to keep her calm and deal with the situation in a polite manner.

"Evelyn, you've stirred up trouble. You'll have to sort it out at the police station," despite her best efforts to remain composed, Faye's tone was sharp and noticeably hostile when she spoke to Thalassa.
