Chapter 211
Before Thala**a could say a word, Hertha swiftly changed the subject, circling back to the topic that had almost caused her to rear–end the car in front of her,
“You just said the kids‘ dad is Lysander?” Her wide eyes were filled with shock, glued to Thala**a, afraid to miss any subtle change in her expression,
In contrast to her excitement, Thala**a simply nodded, “Yep.”
“Holy cow, am I dreaming or what?” Hertha was beside herself, like she had just won the lottery. “Thala**a, pinch me, see if I feel it.”
The kids‘ dad was Lysander, with whom they were just discussing how he pa**ed away. If Lysander knew, he would have flipped his lid.
Seeing her reaction, Thala**a chuckled, “You’re reacting just like me when I first heard.”
“Well duh! That’s Lysander we’re talking about! King of power, helmsman of a wealthy family, the man every woman dreams of but can’t touch. Look at you! Not only did you have his kid, you had four!”
Hertha held up four fingers in a mix of awe and shock.
The traffic light had turned green, and cars had already moved along, but Hertha’s car was still parked there as she excitedly chatted away with Thala**a.
Cars behind had grown impatient, honking their horns.
Thala**a urged her to start driving.
Only then did Hertha snap back to reality and drove away.
Once they reached a safe spot. Hertha simply pulled over, continuing her chat with Thala**a and wanting to know all the details.
Thala**a was also feeling down. She told Hertha everything about her encounter and recognition with Lysander five years ago and five years later.
She also talked about Lysander’s dislike for children and Zephyr’s disdain for her, saying she was not good enough for Lysander and even accusing her of selling her body for status.
“Oh my god, if Lysander knew about your four kids, the Sinclair family would surely kick you out and take the kids. Then you’d lose both the man and the kids.” Hertha analyzed, drawing her conclusion.
That was also Thala**a’s worry,
Lysander didn’t like kids and couldn’t offer paternal love, and the grandparents in the Sinclair family were hoping for Lysander to have grandchildren.
Zephyr looked down on her and would definitely not allow Lysander to marry her.
When that happened, the Sinclair family would snatch away her kids and kick her out, and Lysander would marry a rich heiress, effectively finding a stepmother for the kids.
Her kids would not only lack a father’s love but also be bullied by the stepmother.
Thinking about this, Thala**a felt suffocated.
That’s why she mustn’t let anyone from the Sinclair family know about her children’s existence.
Hertha shared her sentiments.
“That Lysander, so ruthless to his own son, even demanding $5000!” Hertha hit the steering wheel in anger, causing the horn to honk.
Pa**ersby were looking at them like they were crazy.
The number 5000 immediately struck a nerve in Thala**a.
She looked at Hertha in disbelief and said. “What did you say, $5000?”
Hertha nodded calmly. “Yes, the price for a Rolls Royce tire is even more than that, this is a discounted price.”
Thala**a was stunned.
For her already not–so–wealthy family, this was adding fuel to the fire.
Hertha dropped her off at the Sinclair Group, then drove off to work.
Instead of going straight into the company, Thala**a went to the underground parking lot.
She wanted to see how bad the punctured tire was and if it really had to be replaced.
Couldn’t it just be patched up?
