Chapter 243

It was at this point that Leopold had a eureka moment and walked up to the bar with Lysander.

They both ordered a glass of whiskey “I bumped into a college reunion here, and Thalassa was a classmate of mine in college,” Leopold expl ained to Lysander.

Lysander casually took a sip of his drink and didn’t respond.

Leopold then asked, ‘Do you know Thalassa?”

“She used to work for the Sinclair group,” Lysander answered in a low, calm voice.

Leopold suddenly remembered in Thalassa’s resume that she had worked as a CEO’s secretary for the Sinclair group for a day.

So she used to be Lysander’s secretary.

That would explain why they knew each other.

Then the doubts in Leopold’s mind vanished.

He originally thought that Thalassa and Lysander may have had some special relationship, but it turned out they were simply superior and subordinate.

Leopold breathed a sigh of relief and began to confess to Lysander.

“Thalassa is the woman I used to talk to you about, my ex–

girlfnend,” Leopold suddenly revealed his secret.

Lysander was holding the glass, but then his hand paused slightly, his eyes deep and indifferent.

Leopold did not notice his change, and continued, “Back then, I did betray her, but that was not my inte ntion. She is the only one I love. I know she loves me too. Otherwise, she would forgive me easily if sh e doesn’t love me. She doesn’t forgive me until now just because she got hurt.”

Leopold went on talking, completely oblivious to Lysander’s icy gaze. A storm was brewing in his eyes.

Thalassa and Hertha nervously left the bar.

Sitting in the car, Hertha wiped the cold sweat from her forehead. She swallowed hard and said, “Today was really thrilling. Not only did we run into Leopold, but also Lysander. And the kicker is, they’r e relatives!”

The thought terrified Hertha.

Thalassa was also taken aback, shocked to her core.

“Who would have thought Lysander was Leopold’s uncle.”

Leopold was actually a member of the Sinclair family, the wealthiest family in Starhaven!

When he was in college, he was low–

key. He didn’t drive fancy cars, and didn’t wear designer clothes. Thalassa and Hertha thought he was j ust a regular kid.

They never imagined his real identity!

“But now that I think about it, Leopold is more sincere than Lysander. At least he knew about your back ground from the beginning and chose to be with you,” Hertha was unusually composed to speak the tru th.

“They’re all the same. A regular girl like me is out of their league. After all, didn’t Leopold go to the coun tryside with me five years ago just to sleep with me?”

If Leopold truly respected her, he wouldn’t have mistaken Isabella for her and slept with Isabella.

Lysander and Leppold were the same. They were just toying with her.

And she didn’t want to play their game.

She would never forget what Zephyr had told her nor would she delude herself about marrying into a w ealthy family.

Hertha came to her senses, nodded and said, “You’re right.”

Hertha dropped Thalassa off at the entrance of the residential area.

“Just stop here, I can go in by myself. This way you don’t have to turn around inside the complex,” Thalassa said. “Okay.” Hertha stopped the car.

Tasse get out of the car and they waved goodbye.
