With shock written all over her face, Thalassa turned to Leopold. âLysander is your uncle?â
Leopold gave a nod âYes, but heâs only three years older than meâ
Thalassa felt like she had been struck by lightning. She gasped for air.
Lysander Sinclair, Leopold Sinclair So they were family Thalassa had always thought they just shared the same last name, and it was a coincidence.
It turned out that Lysander and Leopold were both Sinclairs!
Five years ago, Isabella slept with Thalassaâs boyfriend, Leopold. And now Thalassa had hopped into b ed with Leopoldâs uncle, Lysander!
Was this like the realâlife version of, If I canât be your wife, then Ill be your uncleâs mistress?
Thalassaâs heart pounded. She felt anxious.
Hertha also felt shocked. With her eyes wide open, she glanced from Leopold to Thalassa.
Leopold was Lysanderâs nephew! This was too much!
Seeing the panicked expressions on Thalassa and Herthaâs faces, Leopold knew they had been fibbing .
He almost believed the information he got was wrong and that Thalassa had a new boyfriend.
But when he heard Hertha say that Thalassaâs boyfriend was Lysander, he knew they were bullshitting.
His tense heart relaxed.
Hertha bragged in front of everyone that Thalassaâs boyfriend was Lysander, only to be busted on the s pot.
Herthaâs previously smug vibe deflated and she immediately turned listless.
She looked embarrassed but still managed a strained smile. âThalassa and I have something to do. We âll be going now.â
She grabbed Thalassaâs arm, ready to bolt.
Just then, a commanding presence entered the bar. It was a man in a handmade black suit, looking ser ious, intimidating, and prestigious.
He strode towards them.
The moment he entered, the air seemed to tremble, making it difficult to breathe.
Thalassa saw the man coming in and felt a mix of terror and nervousness. Her heart pounded uncontrollably.
Oh my God! Lysander was here. This was a disaster she couldnât fix She quickly lowered her head, trying to make herself invisible, hoping Lysander wouldnât spot her.
She clutched Herthaâs hand, ready to make a swift exit.
Debby seized the opportunity. She blocked their path, preventing them from escaping. She said loudly.
âThalassa, donât run. Didnât you just say that Lysander, the CEO of Sinclair group, is your boyfriend? Yo ur boyfriend is here, why are you running away?â
She emphasized the words running away.â
Thalassa felt alarm bells ringing. She shot a furious look at Debby.
At the same time, Lysanderâs deep and intimidating gaze fell upon her.
Seeing those familiar eyes, Thalassa felt her heart leaden.
