She didnât respond, her gaze fixed on Robert, waiting for him to continue.
Robert carefully glanced at Zephyr, noting his stern expression. All his anger was directed at Thalassa.
Emboldened, Robert continued, âSybil was kind, always maintaining her smile, nodding gently at Evelynâs words. In the end, Evelyn proposed discussing Lysanderâs marriage to her daughter with Sybil. But Sybil, looking troubled, said she couldnât decide on Lysanderâs marriage and that it was up to him. This clearly angered Evelyn, who abruptly stood up, pushed Sybil, and raged, âIf you canât decide, why did you pretend to be so supportive?â As she pushed Sybil, Sophia happened to tumble down the stairs. She turned to pick up Sophia and didnât notice Sybil falling.â
At Robertâs words, Thalassa tensed up.
While the first half matched Evelynâs account, the latter half differed significantly.
Evelyn claimed she never pushed Grandma Sybil, insisting they only had verbal exchanges and no physical contact.
Thalassa voiced her doubts, âIf my mother really pushed Grandma Sybil, there would be her fingerprints on her. We could just ask the police to check if there were any fingerprints of my mother on Grandma Sybilâ¦â
âThalassa Everhart!â Zephyr called out her name in a deep, angry voice, his pale eyes brimming with suppressed rage.
âMy wife is gone! And you still want to disturb her! Canât you let her rest in peace? What is your true intention in trying to marry into the Sinclair family?â Zephyrâs voice trembled slightly with accusation.
âGrandma Sybilâs death also saddens me, but we canât wrongly accuse someone,â Thalassa argued anxiously.
âEnough!â Zephyr snapped, his chest heaving with anger.
âThe truth is right there, yet you continue to deny it! Initially, Lysander said he would consider marrying you to give the children a compléte family. But your ambition and your motherâs are too great, resorting to any means necessary. People like you will never be welcomed into the Sinclair family!â Zephyr glared at Thalassa.
That day in the study, after Zephyr realized he had misunderstood Thalassa, he asked Lysander if he would consider marrying her.
Lysander responded that he would consider it.
In order to fulfill Lysanderâs words, Zephyr decided to investigate the truth about the Sinclair groupâs design scheme. He wanted to find, find out if it was indeed Faye who betrayed the project to others and framed Thalassa.
If that had been true, there would have been no need to have any further relations with her family.
Once he found out that Faye had indeed been behind everything, he was relieved and prepared to persuade Lysander to marry Thalassa and provide a complete family for their children.
But on his way back, he received the news of Sybilâs incident.
The person responsible for Sybilâs accident was Thalassaâs mother.
Zephyr could never forgive that.
A jolt went through Thalassaâs heart.
Lysander said he would consider marrying her?
She had never hoped for a future with Lysander.
âZephyr, I beg you to investigate further. Maybe Robert was mistaken⦠Thalassa tried to argue for a chance to uncover the truth.
âLeave, leave the Sinclair family. Youâre not welcome here!â Zephyr pointed to the door, his eyes sharp and his face dark with rage.
âMommy!â At that moment, Sophia ran in, chasing a ball. Startled by Zephyrâs demeanor, she forgot about the ball, crying as she ran to Thalassa and clung to her leg.
Thalassa lovingly picked her up.
Climbing into Thalassaâs arms, Sophia muttered, âMommy, it was the couch that tripped Great-
grandma, not Evelyn. Daddy is scary. Great-grandpa is scary. I want Evelyn,â she whimpered,
