Pampered by My Secret Husband

Chapter 558: Chapter 561: Cecilia Branford, are you going alone?

This is Country J, George Field’s territory. Thomas Shannon had come here recklessly; wouldn’t he be in danger? She recalled the last time, in Country A, during that explosion—George Field and his son must have been seriously injured. Such bitter hatred... they couldn’t possibly not seek revenge.

Frank Mitchell’s sinister laughter came through the telephone, and Sophie Sullivan collected her thoughts. ”What did you say? Who’s here?”

”TSK TSK, you maniac, you’re really good at pretending.” Frank Mitchell’s patience had reached its limit.

He was willing to give her one chance, only because she was Thomas Shannon’s woman.

Once he had her, he would stomp Thomas Shannon’s face fiercely into the ground.

Now, she had played him time and time again, which was infuriating.

He would never forgive such a despicable act.

”Frank Mitchell, make yourself clear!” Sophie Sullivan’s heartbeat accelerated, but she could not admit that she was with Thomas Shannon.

Once he found out, Old Mr. Standford would be finished!

They were too far away to help with the immediate crisis. If Frank Mitchell decided to kill him now, Old Mr. Standford would undoubtedly die!

She switched to speakerphone. Frank Mitchell sneered, ”Thomas Shannon rushed to Country J overnight, wasn’t it just to find you? Don’t tell me you don’t know where he is, and that you aren’t with him right now?”

”Frank Mitchell, I’ll say it again, I don’t know the news that Thomas Shannon came to Country J, and I have not been with him.” She paused, took a deep breath, and said helplessly, ”I’m sorry for shaking your people off yesterday. I’ve never liked being followed. If I caused any misunderstanding, I apologize. I’ll come to you immediately. We have to deal with Thomas Shannon before he finds me!”

”’Shaking my people off?’” Frank Mitchell chuckled. ”You maniac, playing with me again and again, do you really think I won’t get angry?”

”Frank Mitchell, are you ever going to let it go? I said I would cooperate with you and stick to our agreement. As for Thomas Shannon... I didn’t contact him yesterday, nor did I report my whereabouts to him. He must have sensed something, so he rushed to Country J overnight just like you said. Frank Mitchell, we’re in this together now. You can’t just stand by and watch me die!”

She growled in frustration. On the other end of the mobile phone, Frank Mitchell fell silent.

Lucifer secretly gave her a thumbs-up. His Cecilia Branford was truly capable.

Thomas Shannon was speechless. He had really underestimated her; she possessed quite the acting talent. That being said, of all the things she had said before, how much was true and how much was false?

”Frank Mitchell, speak!” Sophie Sullivan yelled coldly.

After a long silence, Frank Mitchell finally spoke, ”I’m at the hotel. Come and find me.”

”Okay, I’ll be there immediately.”

She hung up the telephone and let out a sigh of relief.

She turned to Thomas Shannon. ”I’m going over now to placate Frank Mitchell. You guys take advantage of this time to rescue Old Mr. Standford, understand?”

”Cecilia Branford, are you going alone?” Lucifer was the first to frown with disapproval.

He couldn’t do it, send her alone to face danger! He had finally found her, and he didn’t want her to make any mistakes, not again, not while she was within his eye sight.

Thomas Shannon flatly rejected the idea. ”You don’t need to sacrifice yourself.”

”Don’t worry, I naturally have a way to placate Frank Mitchell. I’ll stall for time, and once you guys have rescued Old Mr. Standford, I’ll leave the hotel immediately.”

Thomas Shannon fixed his cold eyes intently on her, the corner of his mouth lifting slightly. ”You still don’t know what kind of person Frank Mitchell is? Do you think he really believes your words?”

He’s just waiting for you to walk right into his trap, you fool!
