Chapter 119
“You think I don’t get what you’re saying?” Lysander shot at Thalassa.
Thalassa was taken aback for a moment, then she quickly got the gist of it and said, “Oh, I see. You
knew all along that Faye was the rumor monger. You’re a smart one, aren’t you? No wonder you’re Mr.
Sinclair.”
Thalassa gave him a thumbs up, showing her admiration.
Watching her, Lysander found her praise to be charming and said, “You’re such a goofball.”
Thalassa retorted, “Mr. Sinclair, your way of praising people is really something else.”
Suddenly, something occurred to Thalassa, and she asked, “Mr. Sinclair, about the design plans being
stolen, you knew it was Faye all along, didn’t you?”
“How do you think you got out so quickly?” Lysander shot back without giving her a direct answer.

Thalassa felt a mix of anger and injustice.
If Lysander knew all along that she hadn’t stolen the design plans, why then did he not react at all when
she was being taken away by the police, even as she attempted to explain herself?
Thalassa blurted out angrily, “Mr. Sinclair, if you knew it was Faye all along, why did you let me take the
fall and get hauled off by the cops?”
She had felt helpless and wronged at the police station, worrying endlessly.
If she ended up in jail, what would become of her four children? Who would take care of them?
And what about her mother and aunt?
Without an income, not only would her children suffer, but the two elderly women would also face
hardships.
Lysander walked up to her and retorted, “Why shouldn’t I have sent you to the police? You think you’re
some privileged character?”
As he approached, Thalassa’s heart pounded.
She instinctively stepped back and said, “But I was framed.”
“You were framed? Got any proof?” Lysander advanced step by step.
Thalassa recoiled in fear, stumbled on a step, and began to fall backward.
“Ah!” Thalassa screamed.
Just when she thought she was going to fall, a strong arm wrapped around her waist, pulling her back
and pressing her against his solid chest.
Thalassa looked around in panic and found herself staring into Lysander’s eyes.
His gaze quickened her heart rate.
Lysander looked at her, gently pinched her chin, and said in a low voice, “Sending you to the police
was a lesson, so you wouldn’t be so brash and stupid in the future. Got it?”

Thalassa lost her cool and asked, “Didn’t you just praise me for being smart? Now you’re calling me
stupid? Isn’t that contradicting yourself?”
Wasn’t he complimenting her intelligence by saying she wasn’t beyond hope?
Lysander fell silent.
He had never met a woman who was so shameless and full of self-praise.
If it was onyone else, he wouldn’t have given a damn.
However, she was Thalassa, the woman who made Lysander feel conflicted.
Lysander’s body had no resistance to her, and he could always find the familiar feeling of that night five
years ago from her.
He liked her smell and the feeling she gave him. But he despised her conduct.
She would stoop to any level to lure men for money, and all her wit was used on men, while in other
aspects, she was so foolish as to land herself in jall!
