Chapter 997
“Alright, fair enough. If you want to snag a catch like Lysander, you gotta have a game plan.” Lucy conceded for her

That gesture was a telltale sign of guilt.
Thalassa knew then that Bruce hadn’t confessed to Lucy his dirty secrets. He and his daughter were in cahoots

“You might not be aware, but all I want is my children. Only if Susan wins Lysander over could I take my children

bite.
She pulled out her phone and tried to open a streaming app, but no luck no connection.
She glanced up calmly and asked, “What’s your WiFi password here? I’m bored and need to catch up on some
videos.” Bruce rattled off the network name and password.
Thalassa connected her phone. In her heart was a mix of relief and tension, but she managed to keep a calm
expression.
In the kitchen, Susan sliced up a piece of chocolate cake and was ready to bring it out.
