Pampered by My Secret Husband

Chapter 575: Chapter 578: How Could He Possibly Like Her......

It was not hard to imagine this as an attempted murder. Her identity as the heir of the maniac had led to these assassination attempts.

”Nothing has been cleared up yet.” Thomas Shannon’s voice was faint. Even if he didn’t investigate, there were plenty of people who would help her. Lucifer, that fellow, wouldn’t be idle either. He had come over simply to take Sophie Sullivan back to Country F. Before returning to Country F, he had to clear the obstacles; otherwise, Sophie Sullivan would still be in grave danger even if she returned.

”I’m not getting involved in your affairs anymore...” These large families are such deep waters. William Guillen hung up.

Putting down his mobile phone, William Guillen pressed the intercom. ”Send the formal dress to my office.”

”Yes, President.”

In a while, the secretary delivered a woman’s formal dress to his office.

William Guillen waved his hand, signaling the secretary to leave. He opened the white gift box. Inside, a wine-red velvet cheongsam lay, grand and elegant. As his fingertips gently brushed over the fabric, William Guillen imagined how breathtakingly beautiful it would look when worn, capturing everyone’s gaze.

He picked up the phone and called Fluffy Zane.

At the Zane family home, Fluffy Zane was busy with her makeup. She was running out of time; Jim Jones would be here soon, and she couldn’t delay any longer.

Her mobile phone rang. Lipstick in one hand, poised to apply it, she picked up the phone with her other hand. ”Hello?”

”Are you free tonight?” Without waiting for Fluffy Zane to answer, William Guillen continued, ”I have a...”

”No, I have a date tonight.”

William Guillen had been certain she would agree. He never expected her to refuse him so flatly. Instantly, he bit back the rest of his words.

His brow furrowed deeply. Not free?

”Who are you seeing?”

”A friend.”

”Where are you going?”

Fluffy Zane laughed, annoyed. ”William Guillen, who I date and where I go on dates has nothing to do with you. Don’t tell me you’ve actually fallen for me, and that’s why you’re trying to control my private life so much.”

William Guillen felt as if he’d been struck heavily on the head. His blood rushed for a moment, and then he retorted hotly, ”Me, like you? Ha! Fluffy, a person should have some self-awareness. If you’re not free, then forget it. That’s all.”

With that, he immediately hung up.

He slammed his mobile phone onto the desk, yanked his tie loose with one hand, and cursed under his breath.

Like her? What a joke... How could he possibly like her? How could he...

William Guillen was restless and irritable. He slammed the gift box shut with one hand and paced back and forth.

Then, returning to his desk, he snatched up his mobile phone and randomly dialed a number.

”Young Master Guillen, what a surprise you have time to call me!” a flirtatious female voice cooed from the other end.

William Guillen sounded impatient. ”Are you free tonight? I have a social engagement and need a female companion.”

”Free, of course I’m free!” the woman replied, sounding overwhelmed by the attention. ”Young Master Guillen, I’ll head to the company to find you right now.”

”Mhm.”

「At 8 p.m.」

In the Glen Hotel Banquet Hall, a lavish banquet was in full swing, filled with elegant attendees and the clinking of glasses.

Fluffy Zane, arm in arm with Jim Jones, approached the buffet table. Jim Jones handed her a glass of milk. ”Have some milk first, it’ll be good for your stomach.”

”Okay,” Fluffy Zane took the milk and smiled.

Her gaze flickered, and she saw William Guillen approaching. He was dressed in a black velvet suit, and a woman in a wine-red velvet cheongsam clung tightly to his side.

She froze. Are they... wearing couple outfits? The material is even the same.

Jim Jones followed her gaze and also saw William Guillen. He gave a polite nod of acknowledgment before looking away.

”Fluffy, are you okay?”
