The Billionaire’s Secret Quartet (Thalassa and Elowen)

Chapter 29 Chapter 29

Thalassa was about to grab the phone when David's familiar voice rang out from the other end

"Kid, I'm not joking around, tell your mom that you guys showed up at the Sinclair group CEO's office and caused some damage, totaling $23,000. She better get ready to pay up"

This stopped Thalassa in her tracks, her hand hovering over the phone. Her eyes were wide open and her heart was racing.

She had heard Lysander mention compensation from the parents, but she didn't think he was serious!

And such a hefty sum!

As Thalassa panicked, Dorian, dead serious, said into the phone, "You re a fraud! I'm going to tell my dad that you're impersonating him and scared me. My delicate little heart is damaged. You owe me $23,000 for emotional distress.

Dorian was a natural performer from a young age. His acting was so good that it was hard to tell if he was lying.

David began to doubt when he heard the child's words. Could it be that Mr. Sinclair had a secret child that he didn't know about?

He couldn't help but worry. He gripped the phone tighter, turning to Lysander, "Mr. Sinclair, a child picked up the phone. He said you're his dad, Are you.."

He didn't get to finish his question. Lysander's icy cold glare shut him up instantly.

It stroke him that he had actually believed the words of a child and doubted Mr. Sinclair.

This was a blemish on his sharp and savvy career.

He'd been around the block, seen it all, and was almost duped by a child.

David immediately became serious, “Kid, I don't have time for games. I'm not a fraud. Get your mom on the phone."

Dorian was ready to continue his act when Thalassa, her heart in her throat, snatched the phone from him. But then it hit her. She worked at the Sinclair group and had spoken to David's assistant before. He would recognize her voice.

And since David was about to talk to the kids guardian, that meant he should talk to Hertha

Due to certain circumstances, Thalassa couldn't be the children's legal guardian on their birth certificates, so her friend Hertha was listed as the guardian

Back in the day, her mother didn't have the necessary documents to register her birth, so it was already a struggle.

Her grandparents passed away early and her mother was unmarried when she had her. Her mother couldn't prepare all the necessary documents to register her birth

So, her mother took her all the way to Hollowbrook where her aunt's family was listed as her legal guardians on her birth certificate.

Similarly, Thalassa was unmarried and had four kids. She couldn't get the documents needed to register their births in Hollowbrook She had to ask Hertha for help. Luckily, Hertha's parents pulled some strings and Hertha became the kids' legal guardian. From then on, Hertha was their legal guardian.

If her identity as the kids mother was exposed, she would surely get fired, lose her salary, and possibly have to pay a huge sum Money was already tight at home, where would she find the extra cash?

With that in mind, Thalassa quickly passed the phone to Hertha, gesturing for her to answer

Hertha was clueless but she could tell from Thalassa's anxious expression that this was serious

The gravity of the situation made her nervous too. She brought the phone up to her ear, her voice shaky. "Hello, hello.
