Pampered by My Secret Husband

Chapter 478: Chapter 480: Stay still, I’ll come find you later.

He stood not far away, his voice lowered. ”Young Master, there’s news.”

Thomas Shannon raised his hand and gently patted Sophie Sullivan’s back. ”Let go. I have matters to handle.”

”I won’t,” Sophie Sullivan mumbled, refusing to cooperate.

”I’ll count to three. If you don’t let go by then, I’ll have to take you right here.”

The moment he finished speaking, Sophie Sullivan instantly recoiled, putting distance between them.

Thomas Shannon was speechless.

He raised his hand and rubbed his chin. The spot where she had bitten him was still slightly damp.

”Stay put. I’ll come for you later.” With these words, Thomas Shannon walked towards Charlie River.

He didn’t have him report immediately but instead led him further away, ensuring Sophie Sullivan couldn’t hear, before signaling Charlie River to speak.

”Young Master, I’ve just received news that someone is investigating the maniac.”

”Still investigating?”

Thomas Shannon looked at Sophie Sullivan in the distance. This woman he had found was his. No matter who came looking, they wouldn’t be able to take her from him.

Charlie River hesitated, wanting to speak but stopping short. Thomas Shannon frowned. ”Stop beating around the bush. Speak.”

”Young Master, the situation is a bit special this time. Those people are not only investigating the maniac but are also tracking your whereabouts. I suspect they’ve guessed that you’re harboring her.”

Thomas Shannon lit a cigarette, took a deep drag, and exhaled the smoke before asking coldly, ”Find out who those people are.”

Perhaps this investigation would also allow him to uncover Sophie Sullivan’s true identity. What was the relationship between these people and Sophie herself? Were they friends or foes?

”Yes, Young Master!”

Charlie River immediately gave orders to investigate.

「Imperial City.」

William Guillen received a call from Thomas Shannon. He lifted his eyelids and glanced at Fluffy Zane, who was sitting on the sofa opposite him.

He said into the phone, ”Mm, I understand.”

After hanging up, he looked at Fluffy Zane thoughtfully.

Fluffy Zane raised a hand to her face, her eyes filled with confusion. ”What’s wrong? Is there something on my face?”

”What’s your relationship with Sophie Sullivan?” William Guillen decided he wouldn’t beat around the bush any longer and chose to speak frankly.

Fluffy Zane’s breath hitched. How could he know Sophie Sullivan’s name? Sophie Sullivan had only told her because she trusted her. She had always kept this secret for her. In front of others, she consistently called her the maniac. But... how did William Guillen know Sophie Sullivan’s name? What else did he know? If William Guillen knew, then Thomas Shannon...

Fluffy Zane didn’t dare to think any further. Her gaze grew panicked, and she quickly looked away, struggling to keep her voice steady. ”Sophie Sullivan? I don’t think I know anyone by that name.”

William Guillen chuckled. He stood up, walked over to Fluffy Zane, leaned down, and gripped her chin with one hand, forcing her to look up at him.

”Fluffy, look at me,” he said.

”What are you trying to do?” she asked.

William Guillen smiled. ”Repeat what you just said, looking into my eyes.”

”William Guillen, stop messing around.”

”Fluffy, you’re a terrible liar. Look at you, your ears are bright red.”

William Guillen’s eyes darkened as he stared directly into her panicked ones. ”You don’t need to hide Sophie Sullivan’s identity anymore. Thomas already knows the maniac is Sophie Sullivan. Even if you wanted to conceal it, you couldn’t.”

Fluffy Zane pressed her lips together, remaining silent. How could Thomas Shannon know Sophie Sullivan’s name? Could it be... he had discovered her past?
