The Billionaire’s Secret Quartet (Thalassa and Elowen)
Chapter 1581

Hearing that Alaric was genuinely interested in her sounded like a punchline to a joke. Digging into Alaric's past revealed a parade of almost fifty ex-girlfriends - some were instant connections, others took a bit of charm and pursuit from Alaric's end. Yet, eventually, they all ended up the same way: discarded when the novelty wore off, without so much as a by-your-leave.

Getting emotionally involved with a notorious playboy like Alaric was a joke in itself. Knowing this all too well made her fiercely guard her impulses, determined not to recklessly charge forward as she had done three years ago.

Now, with Alaric and Georgia on the outs, and him throwing tantrums at home, he suddenly decided to pursue her. If he got bored again, or if there was a chance to mend things with Georgia, he'd go crawling back to her and smoothly slide into an arranged marriage with the Reed family, leaving her with nothing but heartache and wasted time.

Better not to start anything at all. That way, she could keep her dignity intact.

When Thalassa shared her resolve, there wasn't much to be said against it.

"Speaking of, how are things between you and Lysander now?" she asked, shifting the concern towards Thalassa.

"He invited me over for dinner at his place," Thalassa replied.

"Dinner? Is he trying to make amends with you?" she asked, slightly surprised.

Shaking her head, Thalassa said, "I don't know. He seems pretty happy with Rosalind now. I'm not about to make the same mistake twice."

"Right. You need to stand your ground, Thalassa. Don't let Lysander charm you back into his life. You've finally found your freedom; don't get sucked back into his world. Remember, the moment things got rough, he was quick to kick you out of Royal Estates."

Keeping herself grounded was one thing, but ensuring Thalassa remained clear-headed was another. Both sisters seemed to have more than their fair share of romantic turmoil.

She had naively thought she could change Alaric, tame the notorious playboy to commit to her and her alone. Three years later, she realized just how foolish she'd been, now stuck in a difficult situation.

Thalassa's story was no less heartbreaking. A seemingly perfect relationship ended in betrayal, followed by an unexpected pregnancy, leaving her a single mother. And when she finally found the father of her child, his family looked down on her disdainfully.

Lysander's intentions towards Thalassa were nothing serious, merely a fling in his eyes.

For the sisters, the dream of a happy marriage and a complete family seemed more like a fairy tale.

"I know, I won't be fooled. Don't worry," Thalassa assured her.

"That's good to hear," she replied, feeling somewhat relieved. Their conversation was interrupted as Donovan approached.

Spotting Donovan, she quickly slid back to her workstation.

Donovan glanced at them and said, "Prepare yourselves, we have visitors from the Crawley Group and the Sinclair Group coming over for a tour at noon. You two will be in charge of hosting them." "Why us?" she couldn't help but ask.

It didn't seem like hosting visitors from the Crawley Group and the Sinclair Group had anything to do with them directly.
