Hold it together, she told herself. When she got Atticus to delete that video from Bruce’s phone, this father-daughter duo wouldn’t have anything over her anymore.
The video would be gone very soon.
Susan watched as Thalassa’s confidence faltered. A smug smile spread across her face as she strolled up to her and glanced at the wine bottle in Thalassa’s hand before gesturing behind her.
Her assistant immediately understood and quickly handed her the object requested.
Clutching the item, Susan instructed Thalassa, “Pop the cork.”
Thalassa furrowed her brows, reluctant.
“You won’t do it, huh? Well, I’ve already got a text drafted in my phone. One tap, and it’s sent. Dad will follow up in an instant.” Susan threatened.
. The assistant stood behind her, nervously holding the phone that was ready to send a message.
With her nerves on edge and her body trembling with suppressed rage, Thalassa begrudgingly opened the wine bottle. She had already loosened the cork with a
corkscrew earlier, so it came off easily now.
“Let’s take this conversation to the restroom,” Susan suggested, scanning the room and noting a few curious onlookers. She wanted to keep things low-key.
She led the way to the restroom, and Thalassa had no choice but to follow.
© The restroom was quiet, devoid of others and free from surveillance.

Lifting the paper, she tipped the powder into the wine bottle.
häWhat are you putting in there?” Thalassa demanded with a stern tone.
eläRelax, it’s not deadly. Just a little something to make a man more… interested in a Hwoman. You’re going to give this to Lysander. Once he’s ‘tipsy’, escort him to his hotel room to rest. When he’s lying down and can’t take it anymore, that’s when you come out d and let me inside.” Susan explained.

Thalassa’s heart tightened. “You’ve laced it with that kind of drug!”
Despite her numerous grievances with Lysander, she had never considered drugging him! Yet, Susan was asking her to do exactly that!
Thalassa was wholly resistant
“Yes, I will have him tonight. I can’t wait any longer! Take this to him now and watch him drink. I’ll be watching you, making sure you do it. If you dare to resist, my assistant will send that text, and my father will release the video!”
Susan’s facade had dropped; her eyes, heavy with makeup, smoldered with malice.
She had come prepared with the drug for this very encounter with Lysander.
Thalassa was furious, her teeth nearly grinding to dust, her clear eyes burning with hatred as she glared at Susan’s malevolent sneer.
She wanted to force Susan’s mouth open, pour the wine down her throat, and let her taste what it’s like to be drugged!
But the memory of her mother’s suicide, the despair and suffocation, clamped tight on her throat.
Reason suppressed all her impulses and resistance.
“Fine.” Thalassa spat through clenched teeth, “I’ll play your game today!”
With that, she took the wine bottle and left the restroom.
Susan’s sneer echoed faintly in the back, as she followed.
