Pampered by My Secret Husband

Chapter 252: Chapter 252: At All Costs

She snorted angrily, tossing out the remark, ”What’s so special about a woman Young Master Guillen doesn’t want?”

Sophie was sure that Fluffy Zane had heard that sentence. However, contrary to her expectations, Fluffy Zane wasn’t angry, nor did she argue. Instead, she just smiled faintly as if she had long been accustomed to it.

”Curious why I’m not angry?”

Sophie nodded. ”Why aren’t you angry?”

”What she said is true. I am indeed the woman William Guillen doesn’t want, so there’s nothing to be angry about. Besides, she signed with my agency and was suppressed by me. Therefore, she can only vent her frustration verbally. Why should I stoop to her level?”

Fluffy Zane never thought that her company’s investment in the movie would make Monique Mok famous and even let Monique Mok climb into William Guillen’s bed.

That’s really ironic.

Sophie put a small piece of steak in her mouth, slowly chewing and swallowing it.

Fluffy Zane glanced at the two men in black behind her. ”I’m going to find William Guillen.”

”Okay.”

Sophie understood that with the two little tails behind them, they couldn’t speak as freely as they did on Meadow.

In the conference room, Charlie River’s mobile phone rang.

He approached Thomas Shannon with a smile. ”Young Master, George Stanford is here!”

William Guillen stood up and crushed out his cigarette butt. ”That old man still won’t give up on my mother!”

”Don’t just be angry; focus on what’s important.” Thomas Shannon patted his shoulder, signaling him to stay calm.

”Go and bring him up.”

”Yes, Young Master.”

George Stanford, uncharacteristically dressed in a suit and leather shoes with a bow tie, had come to the banquet hoping to see the goddess of his dreams, but he didn’t expect not to find her. He searched around but found no one and couldn’t help feeling disappointed.

”Mr. Stanford, please come with me.”

George Stanford looked at the person in front of him. ”You are...?”

”Someone is waiting for you. You’ll know when you come with me.”

George Stanford hesitated for a few seconds before laughing. ”Alright, lead the way.”

Charlie River led George Stanford upstairs to the conference room. ”Young Master, I’ve brought Mr. Stanford.”

Filled with joyful anticipation of seeing his goddess, the moment George Stanford saw William Guillen, his smile vanished.

”Why is it you?”

William Guillen spread his hands and laughed. ”Who else did you think it would be? My mother?”

”You deceived me?” Feeling cheated, George Stanford turned to leave in anger.

A man in black stationed at the door blocked his way. George Stanford, furious, shouted, ”A good dog doesn’t block the path! Move!”

”Mr. Stanford, why don’t you hear me out first?”

”You tricked me into coming here because you need something from me. I don’t want to help you. It’s that simple!”

Thomas Shannon’s eyes darkened. No matter what, the maniac’s face must be treated. At any cost.

”Old Mr. Stanford, let me tell you the truth. Today, I did deceive you by using my mother’s name to get you here. However, the favor I’m asking for is related to my mother.”

”Shawna is disfigured?” George Stanford turned around, incredulous.

William Guillen frowned deeply. Hearing his mother’s nickname spoken by this old man was truly infuriating! So infuriating he wanted to beat him up and teach him some respect.

”I mean, the person I’m asking you to help is connected to my mother.”

”Humph!” George Stanford sneered. ”Trying to trick me again!”

”Let me tell you the truth. The girl who was disfigured is my mother’s goddaughter. Since her disfigurement, my mother has been weeping every day, unable to sleep at night, and unable to eat...”
