Chapter 579
Thalassa brushed it off quickly, “I got fired because I ditched work for a few days.”
Evelyn stared at her in surprise, thinking about how Thalassa had fled with the kids, then was found by Lysander, spent several days in a funk at home, and never went to
work.
She had indeed been missing work for several days.
Companies in those days were ruthless, ready to fire an employee at the drop of a hat.
Evelyn was upset. She couldn’t figure out how she had been swindled out of three million dollars!
If it hadn’t been for her losing three million, which happened to be the price she got for selling Lysander’s pendant, Lysander wouldn’t have lost his temper. Her four grandchildren wouldn’t have been taken away by Lysander so decisively.
The more Evelyn thought about it, the more she blamed herself.

In a fit of frustration, she vented at Thalassa, “What does it matter if you got fired? Didn’t Atticus scam a bilion for you? That billion is more than enough for us to live on for the rest of our lives! Who needs a job?”
Evelyn said, panting with rage, her words sharp and bitter.
Thalassa’s heart skipped a beat at Evelyn’s words, and she looked at Evelyn in disbelief, her expression turning serious, “Mom, that money is Lysander’s, not ours. Atticus doesn’t understand the concept of money. But we’re different. We’re adults. We understand money, and we know not to take what’s not ours. I’ve already given that money back to Lysander.”
Thalassa’s eyebrows slightly furrowed as she spoke.
Evelyn stared at Thalassa, her eyes wide open in shock, then despair, “What did you say? You gave it back?”
“Yes.” Thalassa confirmed.
Lysander had said before that he would use a billion dollars to buy out her and the children’s bond. That money was to buy her children If she accepted it, it meant she agreed to sell her children.
How could she have possibly accepted that money with a clear conscience, knowing what it was for?
The bond between her and her children was priceless! No amount of money could have bought it.
Besides, her love for her children couldn’t be measured in money.
She had always intended to return the money to Lysander. It was just that Lysander had previously thought she had stolen the money and refused to accept it.
Since everything was out in the open, and he knew how the money was obtained, she had all the more reason to return it.

Evelyn, her finger trembling, pointed at Thalassa, “You, you’re just… Ah! How did I end up with such a stubborn daughter? You won’t even take your own man’s money! You’re destined to suffer for the rest of your life!”
Evelyn was upset, wiping away tears. She felt helpless.
Her own daughter had four children for someone else, who still wouldn’t marry her and treated her coldly, even taking her children away.
Thinking about it, Evelyn felt heartbroken and helpless, but there was nothing she could have done.
“Mom, don’t be so pessimistic. I have four lovely kids, and if we miss them, we can visit them anytime. Now I have a steady job, and we’re not lacking anything. Compared to those struggling with mortgages and car loans, we’re already very fortunate. Let’s live happily every day.”
Thalassa sat down next to Evelyn, her hand on her shoulder, comforting her softly
“You’re optimistic or heartless, depending on how you look at it. I can’t handle you! I’m leaving! Cook your own dinner.” Evelyn was disappointed in Thalassa and blamed herself for losing the three million. She left the house in a mix of frustration and anger.
Knowing her mother was upset, Thalassa didn’t stop hér. She thought that letting her go out and clear her head would have been a good thing.
Just as Thalassa went into the kitchen to start cooking, her phone rang. It was Evelyn.
She answered, and Evelyn’s anxious voice came from the other end, “Thalassa, come downstairs quickly, help met
“What’s wrong?” Thalassa’s heart clenched at the sound of her mother’s voice.
