Chapter 118
Thalassa suddenly caught on, stood up immediately, and walked to the door. She turned to Lysander
and said, “Mr. Sinclair, I don’t need any bail. I can’t leave until the truth comes out. Otherwise, I’ll
always be labeled as a thief.”
She mistakenly thought Lysander was here to bail her out.
Lysander was tall, making Thalassa seem even smaller.
The cop nearby said, “The truth’s already out. It was an inside job. You’ve been cleared; you’re
innocent.”
Thalassa was over the moon. She asked excitedly. “Who betrayed the company?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtJust as she finished her sentence, the cop walked over with someone.
It was a woman handcuffed.
When the woman got closer, Thalassa was even more shocked. It was Faye!
Thalassa looked at Lysander, then at Faye. She suddenly understood. The traitor was Faye.
Now that the real culprit was found, she was proven innocent.
Thalassa suddenly remembered Faye’s odd behavior lately. Although she was shocked that Faye was
brought to the police station, she also felt like it wasn’t totally unexpected.
Faye was the one in charge of the project. She was the most likely one to leak it!
At that moment. Thalassa had an ‘aha moment’. She felt like someone had set her up, and it was Faye
who tried to frame her but ended up in the trap herself.
“Ms. Everhart, please step out. We need the room,” the cop said, leading Faye in.
Thalassa quickly stepped out of the cell. As the cop led Faye into the narrow doorway, Thalassa
passed by Faye, who shot her a nasty glare.
It was all because of her that Faye was in this mess!
It was all because of her that Lysander was so cold to Faye!
Faye detested Thalassa.
Thalassa glanced at Faye and felt a chill when she saw her look.
Thalassa left the police station.
Lysander was walking ahead.
Thalassa hurried to catch up and then said, “Mr. Sinclair, since you’ve started investigating the theft of
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmthe project, why not look into the source of the rumors too? I think Joie was being used. How else could
she know the details of your conversation with Faye? Even I didn’t know what you two talked about.”
Lysander suddenly stopped in his tracks.
Thalassa also stopped. She almost bumped into him but luckily stopped just in time.
She looked up at Lysander’s icy gaze, her heart racing. She asked cautiously, “Did I say something
wrong?”
“You seem quite interested in what happened that day.” Lysander retorted.
Thalassa looked into Lysander’s eyes, her face flushed.
“I didn’t mean it like that. I saw you two talking that day, but I didn’t hear what you were saying. Yet the
rumors described your conversation in detail. Everyone might think you spread the rumors yourselves,”
Thalassa explained, stuttering and clearly nervous. Lysander’s gaze made her heart pound. She
suddenly felt a strange tension. What was going on?
