Chapter 424


    Lysander had no idea she had moved. He was sure to be waiting for her downstairs in her old


    apartment building.


    Thssa had just gotten home when she got a call from Lysander, her nerves were on edge.


    “Mr. Sinir, I’m about to go to bed. Can we talk over the phone?” Thssa tried to refuse his reject,


    hoping to avoid a face-to-face encounter.


    “I’lle up, or youe down. Your choice!” Lysander’s voice was icy cold.


    “I’lle down, but you’ll have to wait a bit. I’m in the shower. I’ll be about half an hour.”


    Thssa was nervous, incredibly nervous.


    If Lysander came up, he would find out she wasn’t home.


    The thought alone made her scalp tingle.


    She had just stood up to him earlier in the day, and if she pissed him off again, the consequences


    wouldn’t be pleasant.


    Thssa had barely finished speaking when the call ended.


    Thssa had just stepped one foot in the door when she had to pull it back out and bolt towards the


    stairs.


    Just as she was about to go downstairs, she realized she was still wearing the jade bracelet Leopold


    had given her.


    She quickly stopped, ran back to her apartment, took off the bracelet, and stashed it in the drawer of


    the shoe cab by the door.


    Then, she rushed out as if her life depended on it.


    It was already past ten in the evening. Her neighborhood, an older one, wasn’t very busy, and there


    weren’t many cars on the road.


    She stood by the roadside for a while, but no car came.


    Thssa checked her smartphone. Eight minutes had passed since Lysander’s call, and still, no taxi


    hade. What was she going to do?


    Lysander was not the type of person who liked to be kept waiting.


    If he started to lose his patience, Thssa would be the one to suffer.


    Fortunately, just as she was beginning to panic, a taxi arrived.


    She gged down the taxi, gave the driver the address of her old apartment building, and urged him to


    drive faster.


    Meanwhile, Lysander was sitting in his car, parked under the building where Thssa used to live.


    He had been waiting for ten minutes and had yet to see Thssa. He pulled out his smartphone,


    activated the GPS tracker, and saw a small red dot about a mile from the apartment building moving


    rapidly towards him.


    Lysander’s gaze was terrifyingly cold.


    The atmosphere around him was chilling, like a winter storm.


    His deep gaze was fixed on the tiny red dot on his smartphone screen, moving steadily towards him.


    Thssa had the driver drop her off at the back gate of the apartmentplex so she could enter from


    there and create the illusion that she had juste down from her apartment.


    If she went in through the front gate, she would run straight into Lysander.


    That would give away that she hadn’te from her apartment.


    She would have no way to exin if he confronted her.


    She had to cover a certain distance from the back gate to her apartment building. Thssa couldn’t

    keep Lysander waiting too long, so she quickened her pace towards him.


    She circled around from the back to the front of the building and saw a ck Rolls-Royce parked under


    a streetmp. The luxurious ck car, under the dim yellow light, seemed to exude a chilling aura that


    made one wary.


    That was Lysander’s car.


    Thssa hurried over, looking through the car window to see Lysander in the back seat. His handsome


    face wasicold and imposing.


    Thssa’s heart skipped a beat. Her breath hitched.


    She took a few careful deep breaths to calm her racing heart after her run.


    She lifted her hand and nervously knocked on the car door.


    With a click, the door opened.


    As the door opened, a cold aura seeped out. The oppressive and icy air brushed against Thssa’s


    skin, making her shiver.
