chapter808

A sharp gust of wind whistled past Thalassa’s arm, and she braced herself for the imminent piercing

pain.

Suddenly, the piercing wind ceased, and the anticipated pain never came.

Even the air seemed to freeze.

Thalassa lowered her arm and opened her eyes to see a tall figure standing before her. Lysander’s big

hand was clenching the leg of a chair mere inches from her.

If it were not for Lysander’s intervention, her arm would definitely have been punctured by the chair

leg.

Witnessing the man’s sudden appearance in front of her, Lucy contracted her fierce eyes in shock.

Lysander shoved the chair aside, sending Lucy stumbling backward. The chair clattered to the ground,

echoing loudly.

Lysander’s deep and cold gaze fell on her as he said, “Breaking into private property and causing

trouble. That’s at least a three-year sentence!”

“I…” Lucy was intimidated by the strong aura of the man before her. Just as she was about to say

something, her daughter stepped forward, gripping her arm, and signaled her to remain silent.

Her daughter, Susan, also Bruce’s daughter, worked as a PR executive in an international corporation.

She was pretty knowledgeable about the business world.

Of course, she recognized Lysander.

Sensing the threat, she stopped Lucy from further speaking. With a forced smile, she timidly apologized

to Lysander, “We acted impulsively. We will not repeat such reckless behavior. We are really sorry.”

Lysander’s cold gaze met hers, his voice authoritative as he said, “I’m not the one you should be

apologizing to.”

Susan was quick to understand Lysander’s implication. She hurriedly turned to Thalassa and

apologized, “I’m sorry. I should have stopped my mom from acting so recklessly. It won’t happen again.

And don’t worry about the broken stuff. We will compensate for it.”

Thalassa took a deep breath, then said, “No need. Just leave and don’t ever come back.”

She did not want any further entanglements with this mother-daughter duo, nor did she want to see

them again.

If she accepted their compensation proposal, she would have to settle the exact amount with them and

arrange a bank transfer, but she did not want to say another word to them.

“Alright, we’ll leave now,” Susan replied politely, pulling Lucy away.

Lucy was clearly not satisfied with this result. She tried to resist by pulling Susan’s shirt with all her

might, wanting to say something. However, Susan firmly stopped her and forcefully led her out of

Thalassa’s house.

Once they had exited the building, Susan finally slowed her pace.

Lucy was still fuming. “Why did you act so submissively and apologetically? And why did you apologize

to them? Have you forgotten why we came here? Are we going to just leave without giving them a

piece of our mind? We look like losers!”

Susan stopped abruptly and turned around. Her voice was stern as she said, “Mom, do you realize the

trouble we almost caused?”

“What trouble?” Lucy was still breathing heavily with anger.

“Do you know who was that man who suddenly appeared and protected Thalassa?” Susan asked

Lucy.

“Who? His majesty?” Lucy retorted sarcastically.

“Almost. He is the king of this world. That’s Lysander Sinclair, the CEO of the Sinclair group and

basically the king of Starhaven. He could destroy anyone with a flick of his wrist.” Susan had only seen

Lysander in magazines and on television and heard numerous rumors about him.

“Wait, he is Lysander Sinclair?” Lucy’s face turned pale with shock.
