Pampered by My Secret Husband

Chapter 71: Chapter 71: She doesn’t cause trouble even if she doesn’t eat or drink for a day?

”She’s just jealous of Sister Minnie, isn’t she? Why else would she speak with such a biting tone?”

”You’re right.”

Sophie Sullivan, who was about to leave, heard these hushed whispers. Her brow furrowed. ”Do you all want your tongues cut out?”

The maids’ eyes widened.

Sophie turned back to them. ”If you keep gossiping behind my back, I’ll cut out your tongues and feed them to the crocodiles.”

”Maniac, if you’re angry, take it out on me. There’s no need to trouble them.” Minimus Hart stepped forward, protectively defending the maids.

What is she angry about? What could she possibly be angry about? How laughable.

”Minimus Hart, stop trying to stir things up. I’m not angry.”

”If you’re not angry, why are you targeting them?”

Minimus Hart’s every word accused her of harboring resentment because she hadn’t been chosen to accompany Thomas Shannon.

Sophie chuckled. She turned around nonchalantly. ”What makes you think you have what it takes to make me angry?”

Was it just because she was chosen to accompany Thomas Shannon? What a joke!

Minimus Hart didn’t want to argue with her. She gave a small, elegant smile and left.

The maids sided with Minimus Hart. They shot Sophie a disapproving look before turning back to their work.

Sophie huffed. This was utterly ridiculous!

「Capital City, Country C.」

Thomas Shannon found out that the ’maniac’ had escaped again while he was away.

”Charlie River.”

”Yes!”

Thomas Shannon lightly twirled his wine glass, his eyes dark and profound. ”Send the ’maniac’ back to the courtyard and put her under house arrest.”

”Yes, Young Master. I’ll arrange it at once.” Charlie River then called the butler in the castle to relay the Young Master’s orders.

After a sip from his glass, Thomas Shannon lazily supported his head with one hand. ”Has Minimus Hart arrived?”

”Reporting to Young Master, she will probably be here in about two hours.”

He lifted his hand, glanced at his wristwatch, then put his wine glass down and stood up.

His tall, imposing figure was striking. He fastened his shirt buttons with one hand. ”Tell her to report directly there upon arrival and to do her utmost in serving.”

”Understood, Young Master.”

Upon arriving in Country C, Minimus Hart did not meet Thomas Shannon.

Instead, she was met by a bodyguard Thomas Shannon had specifically left behind, who relayed the mission details to her.

Minimus Hart secretly clenched her fists and let out a breath. ”I understand.”

She had thought that after completing the mission in Country C, she could return to the castle and serve peacefully. Unexpectedly, she still couldn’t escape her fate of having to constantly deal with men. The thought of having to submit herself to another man made her think of the ’maniac’ back in the castle. Why could that woman climb into the Young Master’s bed, while she, Minimus Hart, could not? A disfigured woman like her, what right did she have?! But then, remembering the medicine that had been injected into the ’maniac’s’ body, she felt a bit more balanced. Want to fight me? That ’maniac’ is still too inexperienced. Let her be arrogant for now. The day she’ll be crying will come soon enough.

”Get up!”

Nightmares often kept Sophie from sleeping at night, so she would try to catch up on sleep during the day. She was sleeping soundly when she was suddenly yanked out of bed.

Sophie, her eyes still bleary with sleep, looked at the scene before her in a daze. ”Are you all staging a mutiny?”

The maids sneered as they yanked her up and dragged her outside. ”The Young Master has ordered the ’maniac’ to be placed under house arrest! Without his permission, you’re not allowed out!”

She had thought Thomas Shannon wouldn’t bother with this matter, not expecting him to settle scores so much later.

As Sophie was dragged along, her muddled head gradually began to clear.

She was dragged into the courtyard and to her bedroom. A maid shoved her roughly inside and slammed the door shut.
