Pampered by My Secret Husband

Chapter 479: Chapter 481: Who is the Director of the Asylum?

William Guillen raised his hand, his fingertips gently touching the tip of Fluffy Zane’s ear, which had flushed red because she was lying.

He caressed it softly, a smile on his lips as his voice grew deeper, ”Fluffy, tell me the truth.”

”I don’t know what you’re talking about.”

Fluffy Zane pushed him away and stood up, intending to leave.

William Guillen grabbed her wrist and pulled her back. A teasing smile touched his lips, his gaze sharp enough to see right through her. ”Fluffy, you’re avoiding me.”

”I’m not.”

”Then tell me, what’s your relationship with Sophie Sullivan?”

”Listen, Guillen Junior. I only just learned from you that the maniac’s name is Sophie Sullivan. You’re asking about my relationship with her? It’s likely just that she offered me a simple word of comfort on the Meadow back then, and that’s how we became acquainted.”

As Fluffy Zane spoke, her heart pounded wildly. She really wasn’t very good at lying.

Every time she lied, her face and ears would inevitably turn red first.

But this time, she hoped she could act more convincingly. After all, Sophie Sullivan had told only her name to her and no one else, entirely out of trust.

She couldn’t betray that trust.

”Look at how scared you are, even calling me Guillen Junior.”

William Guillen released her wrist, chuckling softly. ”You don’t need to rush to deny it; further denials are useless. Your relationship with Sophie Sullivan is not ordinary.”

”Whatever nonsense you want to spout!” Fluffy Zane spun around and stormed upstairs.

If she stayed any longer, she feared she’d eventually give herself away.

Shortly after, the telephone rang.

William Guillen picked it up. On the other end, the man in black said respectfully, ”Young Master Guillen, where are you? We’ll come and pick you up right now.”

”I’m at the Zane Family’s home.”

”Okay, Young Master Guillen, we’ll be there in 20 minutes.”

After hanging up, William Guillen had a servant pour him a glass of warm water and took his medicine.

Twenty minutes later, Thomas Shannon’s men had arrived at the doorway of the Zane Family’s home.

William Guillen got up and walked outside. After a few steps, he suddenly remembered something and turned his head to the servant next to him, instructing, ”Tell Fluffy I have some matters to attend to and have to leave. She doesn’t need to wait for me for dinner tonight.”

”Yes, Young Master Guillen.”

Leaving the Zane Family’s home, William Guillen got into the car.

”Young Master Guillen, has our Young Master told you everything?” The man in black turned his head and asked.

William Guillen lit a cigarette and nodded slightly. ”Yes, we’re going to the asylum now.”

To investigate the maniac’s background, since the name Sophie Sullivan yielded no matching information, their only option was to start their search at the original asylum.

With Thomas Shannon overseas, he could only entrust William Guillen and the man in black to conduct the investigation for now.

Leaving the Imperial City, they journeyed for two hours by air and over an hour by car.

Finally, they arrived at the asylum in a suburban area, overgrown with wild grass.

The asylum had experienced a great fire that reduced everything to ashes.

At this moment, all that remained was the desolate aftermath of the fire.

William Guillen walked around the ruins of the asylum’s buildings. The asylum was small; one could say it was a small-scale institution.

That great fire, it was said, had started suddenly after the maniac escaped.

It was this fire that completely destroyed the asylum.

William Guillen lit another cigarette and looked at the man in black. ”Find out who the director of this asylum is.”

”Yes, Young Master Guillen.”

William Guillen exhaled a smoke ring, his eyes narrowing. ”And get me the documents on all staff members, including doctors and nurses.”
