Chapter 378
After lunch, Thalassa sat on the living room couch, lost in her thoughts. Her mind kept circling back to
the incident where she had destroyed Lysander’s ancient artifacts worth 100 million dollars. A sense of
anxiety gripped her at the thought.
She was overwhelmed with feelings of unease and dread. Lysander was not someone known for his
charity. He had demanded compensation for minor damages in the past, like when her kids had stained
his couch or accidentally punctured his car tire while playing basketball. Those incidents had cost her a

She had personally wrecked the artifacts. Knowing Lysander’s cold and pragmatic nature, she knew he
would demand compensation. But where would she find 100 million to repay him?
The more she thought about it, the more anxious and helpless she felt. It was an impossible situation.
“Ms. Everhart, why don’t you watch some TV?” Fitch suggested, noticing her growing restlessness. He
was worried that the hallucinogenic effects of her recent mushroom poisoning hadn’t completely worn
off and she might end up damaging more of the house. He quickly turned on the television to distract
her.
Thalassa wasn’t interested in watching television, but a familiar voice caught her attention. The soft and
soothing voice of a child came from the TV. For Thalassa, it was a voice she knew all too well.
Like a jolt of electricity, she turned her attention to the screen. A close-up of a little girl filled the screen.
The girl had a round face, rosy cheeks, and big and twinkling eyes. She was answering questions
about the ingredients of a dish she had prepared.
It was Elowen, her daughter. She was participating in a gourmet competition. Thalassa was surprised
to see that Elowen had reached the semi-finals of the competition.
Had Evelyn returned to Starhaven with the kids from their countryside retreat? Thalassa suddenly

wave of longing and helplessness washed over her.
Elowen answered the judges’ questions quickly and confidently, earning a perfect score for her dish.
The host, brimming with excitement, congratulated Elowen. “Congratulations to Elowen Kensington,
who answered all the questions correctly and has earned a spot in the next round. Despite her young
age, Elowen has shown an impressive knowledge of gourmet food. Her parents must be proud to have
such a smart and adorable child.”
The other contestants also praised Elowen’s intelligence and culinary talent. Despite the situation,
Thalassa couldn’t help but feel a sense of pride and joy watching her daughter on the screen.
