Chapter 342


    “Disappear? Do you think you’re entitled to your own life, Thssa? From now on, you’re living under


    my nose, at my beck and call, until I grow tired of you. If you dare to run away, you’ll face the


    consequences!”


    Lysander’s icy voice echoed above Thssa’s head, the chilling aura spraying down from above. It


    was as cold and intimidating as something from the underworld


    Còntens bel0ngs to N?(v)elDr/a/ma.Org


    itself.


    As he finished speaking, he dropped Thssa, got out of bed, and walked out of the room, mming


    the door behind him.


    Thssa copsed onto the bed, the loud closing of the door striking her heart like a heavy bell. The


    lingering sound echoed, leaving her trembling from head to


    toe.


    She could never have imagined that the suddenly appearing Bruce was a former lover of Lysander’s


    mother!


    And that he was responsible for the death of Lysander’s parents, leaving him to endure a childhood


    filled with loneliness and parental quarrels.


    He should have had a happy childhood and family, yet all was ruined by Bruce.


    And to make matters worse, Bruce was her biological father!


    No wonder Lysander was so angry when he saw Bruce, nearly beating him to death.


    At first, she thought Lysander was defending her mother.


    But she didn’t expect this to be the reason.


    If she were in his shoes, she would have wanted to kill Bruce too.


    Now, Lysander must hate her to the core.


    From the day she was born, Bruce had never contributed a penny to her upbringing, let alone yed a


    role in her growth. Yet she was unfairly burdened with his


    sins.


    On the afternoon at the hospital, she shouldn’t have softened her heart. For the sake of getting Bruce’s


    card and his promise to stop bothering her and Evelyn, she


    allowed him to force the card into her hand.


    She thought that would bring peace, but it was just the beginning of a more cruel nightmare.


    Thssa got up to leave the hotel.


    As soon as she opened the door, two ck-d bodyguards blocked her way, “Ms. Everhart, without


    Mr. Sinir’s instructions, you’re not going anywhere.”


    “Please let me go. I’ll speak to him,” Thssa tried to push past the bodyguards blocking her way.


    But the two of them stood firm, their imposing aura forcing Thssa to retreat back into her room.


    “Don’t get angry, okay? If I’m not allowed to leave, then I won’t,” Thssa didn’t want to anger the


    trained bodyguards and risk getting beaten up.


    Her health was much more important.


    Seeing her retreat into the room, the bodyguards closed the door.


    Thssa sighed, feeling helpless.


    What should she do now?


    Thssa’s mind was in chaos. She could only take one step at a time.


    At the Royal Estates.


    In the study


    Lysander sat in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, his deep eyes watching the swaying shadows of the


    trees outside.


    His tall and majestic figure sank into the ck leather chair, his aura intense and sharp.


    He held a cigarette between his fingers, the orange glow flickering, reflecting in the ss window. The


    illusion of fire, coupled with the dark green trees outside. looked like a ze in a dark forest.


    It made Lysander’s handsome face look like a brooding lion in a nocturnal jungle.


    He raised his hand, put the cigarette in his mouth, and took a drag, the smoke curling around him. His


    ink-ck eyes became even colder.


    At first, when he found out that Thssa was the woman who saved her in the barn five years ago, he


    was grateful and wanted topensate her.


    He even thought of bringing her home to meet his grandparents and marrying her.


    However, everything that followed was beyond his expectations.


    Everything went off track.
