Thssa''s tears trembled as they fell, sshing onto the paper.


    Her heart tightened, anger and frustration making her breath shake, her body feeling unsteady as it staggered backward.


    "Thssa, are you alright?" Seeing her ovee with grief, Ethan stepped forward, steadying her shoulders with his hands, his


    voiceced with concern.


    Susan had been terrified by Lysander''s furious re, but as he stormed off, she snapped back to reality and marched over to


    Thssa, her voice haughty, "This is all because of you. Now Lysander even hates me."


    Her words cut through Thssa like a sharp knife.


    With tearful eyes, Thssa red back at Susan, her voice trembling with rage, "Do you know who the woman on the first page


    is? She''s Lysander''s mother, Belinda!"


    "What?!" Susan froze, shock coursing through her, a cold sensation rising from the soles of her feet to the crown of her head.


    Her father had an affair with Lysander''s mother!


    As the enormity of her mistake dawned on her, Susan realized she had not only fueled Lysander''s hatred for Thssa but also


    destroyed her own chances.


    She was familiar with the contents of the folder. Belinda had died while nning to elope with Bruce.


    Susan gasped, suddenly realizing why Lysander had said that no one from Bruce''s family would escape the consequences.


    Susan''s legs went weak, as if death was just around the corner.


    Ethan, still unclear about what had transpired, grasped the situation upon hearing Belinda’s name.


    Lysander had lost his parents at a young age, and their deaths were no ident.


    The whole sordid story of Belinda''s affair and demise was detailed in that file, exining Lysander''s fury and misery.


    "Thssa, let me take you home," Ethan offered, his hand on Thssa''s shoulder, feeling her body tremble with anger and


    sorrow.


    As Thssa''s boss, it pained him to see her this way.


    Thssa took a deep breath, trying to expel the heavy, angry air from her lungs, and handed Ethan the folder, "Please burn it,


    Mr. Ethan."


    The existence of that file was an additional torment for the women involved.


    Bruce, that monster, was beyond redemption!


    He deserved the worst of fates!


    “Alright, I''ll do it now," Ethan said, taking the folder from Thssa. He pulled out a lighter from his pocket and set the papers


    aze without a nce, a sign of respect for both Thssa and Lysander.


    The humiliating documents turned to ash soon.


    Thssa watched the remaining embers, a suffocating feeling in her chest making it hard to breathe.
