He waved his hand to the security guard, signaling him to escort a woman out.

“Please show this lady the door,” he said, before quickly following Lysander’s strides.

The guards approached Evelyn and grabbed her by the arms.

“Get off me!” Evelyn protested, furious. “This isn’t fair!”

“Hold up!” Thalassa rushed over, maintaining a polite smile. “Let me handle this; you guys have done enough.”

“Thalassa, they’ve really crossed the line.” Evelyn vented as soon as she saw Thalassa.

Thalassa kept her smile, comforting her. “I know, I know. Just take a breather.”

Seeing that the two women knew each other, the guards released Evelyn. “As employees of the Sinclai r Group, we can’t let personal grudges get in the way of business, especially not with Mr. Sinclair,” one of them said to Thalassa.

“I get it; it won’t happen again. Thanks.” Thalassa nodded in gratitude.

kay, I’ll stop right now. I’ll return the villa to him and cut all ties,” Thalassa said.

elyn frowned. “The villa was a gift from him; you have no reason to return it! He hurt you so there has to be some compensation! You can’t return the villa! Just keep your stance from him.”

e villa was their old house, built on their land, and Thalassa’s aunt lived there.

she gave the villa back, Evelyn wouldn’t have anywhere to live.

tha at’s more, considering the deep hurt Lysander had inflicted on her daughter, compensating with a villa was the least he could do.

hout hiding anything, Thalassa said bluntly, “That’s my mom.”
