The Billionaire’s Secret Quartet novel Chapter 579

Thalassa brushed it off quickly, “I got fired because I ditched work for a few days.”

Evelyn stared at her in surprise, thinking about how Thalassa had fled with the kids, then was found by Lysander, spent several days in a funk at home, and never went to work.

She had indeed been missing work for several days.

Companies in those days were ruthless, ready to fire an employee at the drop of a hat.

Evelyn was upset. She couldn’t figure out how she had been swindled out of three million dollars!

If it hadn’t been for her losing three million, which happened to be the price she got for selling Lysander's pendant, Lysander wouldn’t have lost his temper. Her four grandchildren wouldn’t have been taken away by Lysander so decisively.

The more Evelyn thought about it, the more she blamed herself.

In a fit of frustration, she vented at Thalassa, “What does it matter if you got fired? Didn’t Atticus scam a billion for you? That billion is more than enough for us to live on for the rest of our lives! Who needs a job?”

Evelyn said, panting with rage, her words sharp and bitter.

Thalassa’s heart skipped a beat at Evelyn’s words, and she looked at Evelyn in disbelief, her expression turning serious, “Mom, that money is Lysander's, not ours. Atticus doesn’t understand the concept of money. But we're different. We're adults. We understand money, and we know not to take what's not ours. I’ve already given that money back to Lysander.”

Thalassa’s eyebrows slightly furrowed as she spoke.

Evelyn stared at Thalassa, her eyes wide open in shock, then despair, “What did you say? You gave it back?”

“Yes.” Thalassa confirmed.

Lysander had said before that he would use a billion dollars to buy out her and the children’s bond. That money was to buy her children. If she accepted it, it meant she agreed to sell her children.

How could she have possibly accepted that money with a clear conscience, knowing what it was for?
