The Billionaire’s Secret Quartet novel Chapter 698

David was staring at his phone, recalling the moment Thalassa admitted that she liked money and intended to keep it all for herself.

He scoffed at the mere thought of her.

Even though he had agreed to let her use his account to withdraw the money, he did so in a cold voice.

In just a few minutes, Thalassa had completely flipped the situation on its head, leaving him feeling like a sucker.

Was this a sign of her being money-minded?

It seemed more like she was treating money like dirt. Any other woman would've been ecstatic. They would have eagerly indulged in the extravagance of a billion dollars and then some.

But Thalassa was stubbornly determined to return it all to Lysander.

What sort of gem of a woman was she?

Poor him; he'd been used as a tool in the strange back and forth between Lysander and Thalassa.

He sent a message to Thalassa to confirm, one last time, if she really wanted to go through with this.

[You still have time to back out.]

She replied swiftly.

[I won’t back out. I'm just worried you'll hold this against me. You have no room to back out now, David. I'm sorry.]

His lips twitched as he read the message.

He had lost his chance to back out when he gave Thalassa his bank details.

She had him all figured out. She played him like a fiddle.

Thalassa and Lysander were two peas in a pod.

With Thalassa's confirmation, David was now left with the task of returning this massive amount of money to Lysander.

Handing it over directly would surely put him in Mr. Sinclair’s line of fire.

So, he had to go through the finance department.
