Pampered by My Secret Husband

Chapter 119: Chapter 119: Wait for My Good News

Shouldn’t the maniac be on the sidelines, enjoying the show and gloating? Why would she get involved in these muddy waters herself?

Sophie Sullivan chuckled, pressing her hand to her forehead. ”Don’t you know I can go crazy?”

A vague idea surfaced in Amelia Shaw’s mind, but she couldn’t be sure.

”I can take this opportunity to help you get rid of Minimus Hart. Of course, if you don’t want to, just pretend I never said it.”

Get rid of Minimus Hart... Amelia Shaw was more than a little tempted, but she understood that there’s no such thing as a free lunch.

Accepting this free, luxurious lunch from the maniac would surely come at a tremendous price, and she didn’t know if she could bear it.

After much deliberation, Amelia Shaw tightened her grip on the rag in her hand. ”What do you want me to help you with?”

”I haven’t thought of it yet. I’ll tell you when I come up with something.”

As if noticing her hesitation, Sophie reassured her with a smile, ”Don’t worry. It won’t be anything unconscionable, and I won’t make you leave Thomas Shannon.”

”Alright, it’s a deal.”

Sophie smiled faintly and stood up. ”Wait for my good news.”

「Inside the bedroom.」

A maid furtively ran to Minimus Hart’s side. ”Sister Minnie, the maniac and Amelia Shaw were plotting something downstairs just now.”

Minimus Hart, who was changing the bedsheets, paused and straightened up. ”What were they plotting?”

”The maniac said she wants to use one of her episodes to get rid of you,” the maid recounted, relaying every word she had overheard to Minimus Hart.

Minimus Hart’s brow tightened fiercely. She had indeed forgotten that the maniac was prone to such episodes.Initially, she had wanted the maniac to go completely mad, hoping Young Master Shannon would then drive her out. Who would have thought that not only was she not driven away, but she even seemed to be gaining favor?

Minimus Hart was completely unsettled.

With Amelia Shaw as a threat before her and the maniac one behind, the maniac was an unpredictable ticking bomb. No one knew when she might explode, and once she did, she could act with impunity. After all, no one would believe her actions were premeditated.If this information was true... then the maniac very likely would use her next episode to get rid of her.

”What else did you hear?” Minimus Hart looked at the maid, her face colder than ever before.

The maid replied, ”The maniac and Amelia Shaw have reached a cooperating relation.”

”I see. You can leave now. Don’t repeat this to anyone else, understand?” Minimus Hart narrowed her eyes, warning her.

The maid nodded, indicating she understood. ”Don’t worry, Sister Minnie, I won’t breathe a word.”

Minimus Hart continued changing the sheets, her mind heavy with a troubling question: Should she secretly inject the maniac with the antidote?If the maniac genuinely had an episode, or merely used an episode as a pretext to eliminate her, Young Master Shannon would undoubtedly side with the maniac. She would only be able to suffer in silence, like swallowing Chinese goldthread with no way to voice the bitterness.Allowing Amelia Shaw and the maniac to form an alliance would bring her no benefits whatsoever.

「...」

「At the top-tier Club.」

Thomas Shannon, William Guillen, and Edward Benson had gathered.

”Come on, let’s toast to Bay King’s return!” William Guillen was the first to raise his wine glass.

Thomas Shannon lazily lifted his wine glass. Edward Benson smiled gently. ”Cheers.”

They hadn’t had a proper gathering since Edward Benson last brought Amelia Shaw back. This time, they had finally managed to get together.

William Guillen casually unfastened a few buttons on his shirt, settling into a relaxed posture. ”Thomas, how has Amelia Shaw been doing at your place? She hasn’t caused any trouble, has she?”
