Chapter 1063
Once again, Amelia’s snide remark that Thalassa was just a country bumpkin stung
deeper than she cared to admit.
Her brows furrowed, and she shot Amelia a look of displeasure.
“What are you staring at? Did I say something wrong?” Amelia snapped and rolled her
eyes.
Lysander slammed his bowl of chicken soup onto the nightstand with a thud that
resonated through the room, commanding attention.
Amelia’s bravado wavered under Lysander’s imposing presence. Her face morphed into a
mix of flattery and deference as she addressed him, “I may have been a bit harsh just
now, but everyone knows Thalassa wormed her way into your life with her cunning. Just
look at Faye; she’s been pining for you for a decade. You joined the army, and she
enlisted, too, to be close to you. You became a CEO, and she was right there as your
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtsecretary. Ten years, and she hasn’t managed to secure a proper place by your side, let
alone the right to bear your children.
And Charlotte, she adored you. She was betrothed to you, promised through a deal
between Zephyr and the Ravensong family. But Zephyr called off the engagement in
public because of Thalassa’s schemes. She’s out to eliminate all the women around you!”
According to Amelia, both Faye and Charlotte had already been intimate with Lysander. It
was completely normal for a rich man like him to be surrounded by women.
But they were not good enough to be favored by Lysander and have his child.
Faye had it worse, not even a title to her name.
Then Thalassa appeared. In just a few months, she had ousted Faye, dismissed Charlotte,
and ascended to her position.
Amelia didn’t hide her resentment and disdain for Thalassa as she spilled her thoughts to
Lysander.
She was trying to open Lysander’s eyes to Thalassa’s true nature, to make him despise
her, and ideally, cast her out and leave her with nothing.
Thalassa clutched the bed sheet behind her, and she didn’t utter a rebuttal to Amelia’s
slander.
If Amelia succeeded in tarnishing her reputation in front of Lysander, and if she insisted on
making him detest her and discard her as a “scheming” woman, Thalassa would have to
be grateful to her.
Why would she object to Amelia helping her cause?

Chapter 1063
Lysander’s deep-set eyes turned to Amelia with a look of displeasure. His handsome face
was clouded with irritation. “Are you done with the blabbers? What do you want?”
His aura of quiet authority left Amelia speechless.

She could hardly believe what Lysander had said.
After her heartfelt accusations about Thalassa’s manipulations, Lysander simply dismissed
them as blabbers?
Oh, how ironic. No matter what Thalassa had done or schemed, it was all inconsequential
in Lysander’s eyes. He cared only about her as a person, not her actions.
Amelia’s forced a disappointed laughter. It seemed impossible to make Lysander punish
Thalassa. She’d have to take matters into her own hands. She was determined to show
Thalassa how capable she was and make it clear that the Sinclair family’s doors were not
open to her.
Suppressing her feelings of hurt and anger, Amelia got back to the point, “Didn’t you give
me back the keys to Leopold’s Central Ring Villa? I went there today to clean up and found
a box of birth control pills hidden behind a couch cushion, with three pills missing. Were
they yours, from bringing a woman there, or were they from Leopold’s time?”
After settling Leopold’s company affairs, Amelia had gone to his private residence to look
for traces of his life, hoping for some solace for her nostalgia.
But what she hadn’t expected was to find an open box of birth control pills on the couch
an unpleasant reminder that someone else had been there.
