Tightening his hold around Thalassa’s waist, he gritted his teeth and said to Callum, “Quite the coincidence, you
being here. I’ll be looking into this, rest assured!”
With that, he turned, Thalassa in tow.
Coming back to her senses, Thalassa, though weak, tried to push away from Lysander’s firm grip around her waist.

man before him.
Upon seeing the man, Thalassa felt a wave of nausea; he was one of Bruce’s cronies, a scoundrel who had caused
untold harm.
He had to be punished, or he would just continue to prey on others.
Taking a deep breath to suppress the disgust and anger swirling inside her, Thalassa said, “He… he held me.”
She felt Lysander’s arm around her waist tense at her words.
