Chapter 1025
Since Thalassa was with Lysander, Evelyn had better not disturb them. But she needed to
send Thalassa a text to let her know she was heading back.
It was only then that Evelyn fished her phone out of her purse.
To her surprise, she saw several missed calls, all from Thalassa.
She dialed back immediately, and the call was answered just after two rings.
“Mom, where are you right now?” Thalassa’s voice came through, tense and filled with
urgency.
“I’m at the Draven International Hotel, honey, and you won’t believe what I just saw…”
“I’m at Royal Estates. Mom, get a cab here, and hurry!” Thalassa cut her off before Evelyn
could finish.
Evelyn could hear the desperation in her daughter’s voice.
She halted the topic she wanted to discuss, feeling a mix of surprise and disappointment.
Thalassa wasn’t with Lysander after all; Lysander was at the hotel, and Thalassa was at
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtRoyal Estates.
And Susan – she had just come out of Lysander’s room. Did that mean she had just been
intimate with him?
Evelyn had seen Susan with her flushed face and disheveled clothes, both were clear signs
of what had just transpired.
Was this the aftermath of being alone with Lysander?
As someone who had seen a lot, Evelyn knew exactly what Susan’s appearance signified.
Susan had been with Lysander, and then she went to another man’s room to continue the
the next round!
The lives of the rich were so chaotic and sordid!
As Evelyn connected the dots, she felt a sharp pain in her heart, both for Thalassa and
herself. She couldn’t believe the duplicity of Lysander, who kept leading Thalassa on while
not being exclusive to her.
Evelyn also felt a profound sadness for herself, it seemed she had never met a decent
man.
Though leaving the hotel in a daze, Evelyn didn’t forget Thalassa’s instruction. She hailed
a cab and headed to Royal Estates.
At that very moment, within Royal Estates.
Thalassa and Atticus were in a room, in which the atmosphere fraught with tension.
She handed Atticus Bruce’s phone number, his family’s IP address, and the password and
let him to hack into Bruce’s phone and computer.
Atticus’ young face was serious. His little brows furrowed in concentration as he rapidly
typed on the keyboard.
In no time, he had accessed Bruce’s phone.
The files from Bruce’s phone were laid bare on the computer screen.
Thalassa sat beside Atticus. Her eyes glued to the monitor and didn’t dare to blink.
Atticus opened numerous files, but Thalassa couldn’t spot that video of Evelyn.
She had seen the thumbnail before; one glimpse would tell her whether the video was that
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmone or not.
They were almost through all the files, and still no sign of the video.
Could it be that he didn’t save it on his phone?
Thalassa’s heart tightened with anxiety.
“Mom, the last one is encrypted. We need a password to open it.” Atticus said, his voice
soft but serious, pointing at the unresponsive file.
Thalassa, slick with a sheen of sweat from tension and focus, asked nervously, “What do
we do now?”
“No worries, the encryption is simple. Give me a few seconds to crack it.” Atticus’ fingers
danced confidently across the keyboard, and soon the password was bypassed.
The final file opened.
As the video thumbnail appeared, Thalassa’s heart skipped a beat.
“There it is! That’s the video. Delete it. Don’t play it!” Thalassa’s voice quivered with
urgency and nerves.
