Faye didn’t want to back down, but against Lysander, she stood no Chapter 163
Faye’s heart gave a violent jerk, since she couldn’t believe what she was hearing from Lysander.
In the past, whenever she messed up, Lysander always cut her some slack because she’d been a soldi
er by his side for years,
He never talked to her like this before.
But now, he was throwing these harsh words at her for Thalassa?
Faye’s pride got a harsh reality check.
She was
hurt and pissed, but Lysander was angry, and she was terrified of him. “Mr. Sinclair, she pleaded, “I me
ssed up. Give me another shot…”
“David, take her away, turn her over to the cops. She embezzled five million bucks and betrayed the co
mpany, spilled business secrets. Those charges should be handled together. Make sure she gets what
she deserves.”
Lysander didn’t even glance at Faye, just ordered David coldly.
Back when Faye had thrown Thalassa under the bus in front of him, claiming that Thalassa stole the Si
nclair group’s designs, he warned. her that it was her last chance.
But Faye didn’t change her ways, she doubled down, not only bullying Thalassa but also deceiving him.
She was challenging his authority!
“Yes, Mr. Sinclair.” David saluted and called two bodyguards over to approach Faye.
Hearing Lysander’s final words, Faye, who had managed to keep her cool, began to panic.
She crawled towards Lysander, crying and begging. “Mr. Sinclair, please, for the years I’ve worked by y
our side, for my loyalty, give me a break..”
She didn’t want to go to jail. She was still young, with many good years left. Her future was bright.
If she got locked up for three to five years, or even more given Lysander’s insistence on strict punishme
nt, she’d suffer a lot in prison.
She might get bullied by men, beaten up, or even go hungry… all sorts of miserable experiences could
happen.
The thought made Faye’s scalp tingle with fear, and her heart was in a flurry.
She crawled to Lysander’s feet, ready to grab his pant leg, but he kicked Her hand away.
Lysander had always thought Faye was upright and honest, but she turned out to be the opposite.
She was manipulative, scheming behind his back, framing Thalassa, and even daring to deceive him.
Lysander kicked Faye back several steps, her knees sliding several meters on the ground.
Lysander’s gaze was icy as he coldly said, “Don’t insult the word ‘loyalty. Take her away!”
The bodyguards immediately stepped forward, hoisted Faye up and dragged her out of the room.
Faye struggled against the bodyguards‘ grip, saying frantically. “I can walk myself!”
Her ribs ached from Lysander’s kick.
Enduring the pain, her eyes filled with tears, she gave Lysander one last look of sadness, anger, and d
efiance, then turned and walked out as if she’d made up her mind.
She’d been by Lysander’s side for ten years, silently in love with him for a decade, and she thought he
would treat her differently because of it.
But to her surprise, he was still fair and impartial towards her, showing no mercy!
Even to avoid her touch, he didn’t hesitate to kick her away.
At that moment, Faye felt heartbroken, lost, anxious, and jealous. She couldn’t believe it, but she had t
o face the reality.
She, the heiress of the Brennan group, gave up her privileged life to follow Lysander into the army, to b
e his
secretary, silently accompanying him for ten years, but still couldn’t win his heart. In the end, she lost to
a country girl named Thalassa, and it was a complete mess!
chance
She stomped out of the private room, her heart brimming with resentment, anger, and indignation. The f
ear of impending prison time was overwhelming and her emotions were all over the place
Tears streamed down her face uncontrollably, her chest heaving with the intensity of her anger, indignat
ion, and fear
One of the bodyguards guided her into a cat and she asked to call her father, Daniel Brennan.
The bodyguard didn’t stop her
She dialed Daniel’s number and the moment she heard his deep, gentle voice, she couldn’t hold back h
er emotions anymore and broke down crying
“Dad”
Hearing Faye’s sobs, Daniel felt heartache. He quickly comforted her,
“Faye, what happened? Take your time, it’s alright. I’m here, nothing will happen to you.”
Although Daniel didn’t know what went down, he knew Faye has been tough since she was a kid, resili
ent, competitive, and not one to cry easily
Now, hearing her
sob so painfully, so helplessly over the phone was like a thin thread tugging at his heart, causing him u
nbearable distress.
Whatever could make his competitive daughter cry must be severe..
Faye managed to calm down a bit, and told Daniel about what happened and how Lysander planned to
hand her over to the police.
Upon
hearing this, Daniel was frightened and deeply worried. He comforted her, “For now, cooperate with Lys
ander’s bodyguards. Hang in there, I’ll find a way to bail you out as soon as possible.”
Lysander is the helmsman of the Sinclair Group, a king of power, known for his iron–
fisted tactics and ruthlessness. After taking over the Sinclair Group, he aggressively acquired Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.
several companies, leading them to bankruptcy and heavy debt.
In just five years, the Sinclair Group grew into a world–renowned conglomerate.
Everyone in the business world would tremble at the mention of Lysander’s name.
Faye had betrayed Lysander, deceived him, and even handed the Sinclair Group’s designs to other co
mpanies.
No wonder Lysander was so furious, sending her to jail without any hesitation!
Faye had challenged Lysander’s authority and provoked him, the consequences were unpredictable.
But Faye was still Daniel’s daughter, so he couldn’t just sit back and watch her suffer in jail.
Hearing Daniel’s words, Faye felt a little better. She wiped away the tears from her eyes and said sorro
wfully, “I spent ten years trying to win his heart, but in the end, he treats me like this. Dad, he really is h
eartless.”
“Maybe he’s just not into women,” Daniel attempted to comfort her, making a guess.
Faye gave a bitter smile, “No, he likes women alright. He’s doing this to me because of that woman.”
Losing to Thalassa was something she couldn’t accept, and she was unwilling to admit defeat.
Daniel fell silent. Lysander had actually fallen out with Faye over a woman.
His daughter, Faye, had devoted herself to Lysander, only to end up imprisoned.
Daniel felt a sense of injustice for Faye’s predicament. He said, “I will help you. Stay calm for now, don’t
cause any unnecessary trouble. I’ll get you out soon.”
Right after ending the call, Faye was taken to the police station. She and the bodyguard got out of the c
ar.
Inside the private room.
Isabella lay weakly on the floor, shocked. Watching Faye being taken away, she was so scared that her
teeth were chattering. The pain on her face and body didn’t matter anymore, because the fear
and pain in her heart had surpassed everything else.
