Chapter 567


    Lysander’s aura was frigid, forbidding anyone to approach him.


    Evelyn, overwhelmed with fear, wanted to reach out and grab his hand, but she hesitated. Her hand


    hovered awkwardly in mid-air.


    “Lysander, let go of me!” Thssa desperately tried to pry Lysander’s hand from her shoulder, but his


    grip was too strong.


    At that moment, Atticus, with a sense of urgency, flung the car door open and jumped out. He was in


    such a rush that he fell to the ground, but he instantly mbered back up, his short legs carrying him


    as fast as they could towards Lysander.


    Grabbing at Lysander’s clothing, he tried to push him away, “Leave my mom alone! Don’t bully her! I’m


    the one who sabotaged yourpany! Mom had no idea! Let her go!”


    Atticus’ face was flushed from the effort, and tears pooled in his eyes. But he refused to let them fall.


    He was small and weak, and his efforts to push Lysander away were futile.


    However, his words caught Lysander’s attention.


    He released Thssa and looked down at Atticus in disbelief, “What did you say?”


    Atticus looked up at him, his face red from frustration and worry for his mom. His eyes were brimming


    with tears, but he didn’t let them fall.


    Breathing heavily, his little chest heaving, he spoke to Lysander, “I was the one trying to sabotage the


    Sinir Group. Mom didn’t know. You said that only the strong can negotiate! I want Mom to be


    strong! So, she won’t be bullied by you.”


    Lysander was taken aback, looking down at the little boy who barely reached his knees.


    Just the previous day, to make the children behave, he had told them that only the strong had the right


    to negotiate.


    The little guy had taken it to heart


    He had underestimated the understanding of a child.


    Atticus’ innocent words left Thssa in shock. Her heart clenched. She looked at Atticus in awe.


    Everything he had done was to protect her from being bullied.


    A sense of warmth, like a rising tide, washed over her, apanied by a bitter regret.


    She felt guilty. She wasn’t strong enough, causing her child to worry about her She failed to protect her


    own child, forcing him to stand up for her. Tears welled up in Thssa’s eyes.


    Evelyn quietly wiped away her tears.


    Her grandchildren were so sensible that it was heartbreaking.

    With his breathing in short gasps, Atticus continued, “The billion dors. I stole that too. Mom


    didn’t know about it either. Because she broke your antique, which was worth a billion. I thought if mom


    could give the billion back to you, we’d be even.”


    Lysander was speechless.


    Stealing his money and giving it back to him? What kind of logic was that?


    Indeed, children would always think like children.


    However, what surprised him was that the billion dors wasn’t stolen at Thssa’s instruction.


    Lysander’s icy demeanor softened slightly.


    “No matter the reason, what you did was wrong! Money must be earned properly, do you understand?”


    Lysander lectured Atticus.


    Atticus knew he was wrong. He lowered his head, and that time, his tears fell freely to the ground. His


    voice softened, “I understand… as long as you don’t bully mom… that’s enough.”


    He hadn’t nned on sabotaging the Sinir Group. He just felt bad for his mom and wanted to help


    her.
