Chapter 698
David was staring at his phone, recalling the moment Thalassa admitted that she liked money and intended to keep it all for herself.
He scoffed at the mere thought of her.
Even though he had agreed to let her use his account to withdraw the money, he did so in a cold voice.
In just a few minutes, Thalassa had completely flipped the situation on its head, leaving him feeling like a sucker.
Was this a sign of her being money-minded?
It seemed more like she was treating money like dirt. Any other woman would’ve been ecstatic. They would have eagerly indulged in the extravagance of a billion dollars and then some.
But Thalassa was stubbornly determined to return it all to Lysander.
What sort of gem of a woman was she?
Poor him; he’d been used as a tool in the strange back and forth between Lysander and Thalassa.
He sent a message to Thalassa to confirm, one last time, if she really wanted to go through with this.

She replied swiftly.
[I won’t back out. I’m just worried you’ll hold this against me. You have no room to back out now, David. I’m sorry.]
His lips twitched as he read the message.
He had lost his chance to back out when he gave Thalassa his bank details.
She had him all figured out. She played him like a fiddle.
Thalassa and Lysander were two peas in a pod.
With Thalassa’s confirmation, David was now left with the task of returning this massive amount of money to Lysander.
Handing it over directly would surely put him in Mr. Sinclair’s line of fire.
So, he had to go through the finance department.
David got up swiftly to get this done. For every second he delayed, the hot potato in his hand would burn him more.
David arrived at the finance department and informed the manager about an impending deposit into the company account.
Just as he finished speaking with the finance manager, the department received the funds.
He emphasized the need to credit the money into the account.
David had a good rapport with the finance department manager. He was always the one dealing with Lysander’s matters, including financial transactions. The manager didn’t think twice. She followed David’s instructions and credited the money to the account.

Once everything was done, David left.
He returned to his office, hoping that this issue would end here. But the more he thought about it, the more anxious he became. His heart was pounding like a drum.
David got up and headed to the CEO’s office, coincidentally running into the finance manager at the entrance.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe manager had just rang the doorbell and gotten permission to enter.
When the manager was about to enter, David joined her. They exchanged a look at the door.
The manager’s gaze was filled with suspicion and doubt, while David’s was fraught with tension.
Both of them approached the desk.
The manager spoke first. “Mr. Sinclair, there’s something strange that i would like to discuss with you…”
“Mr. Sinclair, I have something to tell you too.” David cut her off.
She shot him a glance.
“Speak.” Lysander was busy reading a file. He didn’t even bother to look
up
at them.
David continued, “I’ve just transferred one billion and thirteen million to the company account.”
The manager was taken aback. She was just about to report the same.
Initially, everything seemed normal to her. But after David left, she found it odd that he didn’t mention anything about the purpose or origin of the money.
His silence was unsettling, prompting her to report the matter to Mr. Sinclair, suspecting that David was up to no good.
