Pampered by My Secret Husband

Chapter 521: Chapter 524: Sophie Sullivan, don’t get agitated

After the servant left, Fluffy Zane turned her head and asked Sophie Sullivan worriedly, ”Sophie, are you...?”

Sophie interrupted her. ”Time is short, so I’ll be brief. Are you all right?”

She couldn’t stay too long, lest Thomas Shannon suspect she and Fluffy Zane had some special relation. Once he knew, Fluffy Zane might become another new leverage point to threaten her. She didn’t want to involve any innocent people because of herself.

Fluffy Zane shook her head. ”I’m fine. Why are you asking that?”

”Has anyone been troubling you lately?”

What worried Sophie most was that the deranged Minimus Hart would come after Fluffy Zane. If Minimus Hart targeted her, the consequences would be all too predictable. Fluffy Zane was no match for Minimus Hart, and she had only one part to play—the victim.

Fluffy Zane carefully recalled the recent past. Apart from caring for William Guillen, absolutely no other affair had occurred, much less an affair where someone came to trouble her.

”Sophie, nobody has bothered me. Why would you ask that? Did some affair happen?”

Sophie massaged her forehead and sighed lightly. ”It’s good that no one has bothered you. However, you’d best be careful during this time; be extremely cautious. My name is known now. I think that person, most likely, got the message from you. Since you’re all right, then I must have guessed wrong.”

Fluffy Zane excitedly grasped her hand. ”This is the very affair I wanted to tell you about! William Guillen knows your name is Sophie.”

”What did you say?!” Sophie felt a chill down her spine.

William Guillen knew her name? Then what about Thomas Shannon? How could Thomas Shannon not know her name?

”Sophie, don’t get excited. William Guillen didn’t do anything to me. He just asked what my relation was with you. I denied it, and he didn’t press further.”

”When did this happen?”

Sophie’s mind drifted. Who else could possibly know her name? The secret she had guarded so fiercely—where on earth had it leaked from?

”Just a few days ago.”

A few days ago... Sophie recalled. Thinking back, just a few days ago, she was still struggling through the desert with Thomas Shannon. Her head throbbed faintly. Where exactly had things gone wrong?

”Sophie, are you all right?” Fluffy Zane looked worried as Sophie’s face went pale. ”Are you okay?”

Sophie picked up the water cup, took a sip to calm her nerves, and secretly adjusted her breathing. ”I’m fine. If William Guillen knows my name, then Thomas Shannon must know too.”

Several images suddenly flashed through her mind. Previously, Thomas Shannon had repeatedly asked her if she had anything to tell him. Could it be... that Thomas Shannon had known her name all along, ever since then, just waiting for her to confess?

At this thought, Sophie felt a headache coming on. The affair was beginning to spiral out of control.

She had a sinking feeling that Thomas Shannon would have her completely in his grip. He now had another piece of leverage over her.

”Will Thomas Shannon do something to you...?”

Sophie forced a smile. ”I don’t know.”

She handed Fluffy Zane the gifts she had prepared. ”These are for you. Thank you for taking me in last time. I have to go now. We’ll meet again if there’s a chance.”

With those words, she hurried away.

Fluffy Zane watched her retreating figure, wanting to speak but hesitating...

In the end, she said nothing. The men in black were watching. All she could do was silently watch Sophie leave.
