Pampered by My Secret Husband

Chapter 817: Chapter 819: Is Miss Sullivan Afraid I’ll Poison Her?

The guards didn’t give her time to answer and made a gesture to invite her in.

Sophie Sullivan smiled and nodded slightly, then followed them.

Receiving the call from Lillian Spencer indeed surprised Sophie.

However, as the President’s daughter, it wasn’t difficult to find out her number.

Thomas Shannon’s warning remained fresh in her ears. She didn’t know why Thomas Shannon wanted her to stay away from Lillian Spencer, nor did she know what Lillian Spencer intended by inviting her this time.

Even if she was a little foolish, she could guess that the last encounter at the shopping centre wasn’t by chance.

It was probably a deliberate encounter staged by Lillian Spencer.

The guard led her to a private room door and knocked. Inside, Lillian Spencer’s voice came, ”Enter.”

The guard opened the door and said to Sophie Sullivan, ”Miss Sullivan, please come in. My lady has been waiting for a long time.”

Sophie didn’t speak and stepped into the private room.

The private room was filled with unknown music, and the rich aroma of coffee lingered in the air.

Sophie saw Lillian Spencer, dressed in a rose-red golden silk embroidered cheongsam, looking dignified, elegant, and noble.

The string of Buddha beads on her hand further accentuated the fair and slender wrist.

”Miss Sullivan, no need to be formal, please have a seat.”

Sophie sat down opposite her and gradually spoke, ”I wonder why Miss Lillian Spencer has invited me here today.”

Lillian Spencer didn’t hurry to speak. She lifted her hand, and a waiter standing by walked over, ”Miss Sullivan, what would you like to drink?”

”A cup of water, please. Thank you.”

”Sure, please wait a moment.”

The waiter stepped back a few paces and left the private room.

Sophie’s body leisurely leaned back against the chair back, a slight curve at the corner of her mouth, ”Miss Lillian Spencer didn’t just invite me for a cup of coffee, did you?”

”Indeed, you are a smart one.”

Lillian Spencer chuckled lightly, her gaze somewhat cold, with a depth Sophie couldn’t understand.

”Let’s be frank, no need to beat around the bush.”

Lillian Spencer nodded, holding her coffee, sipping slowly and deliberately, allowing the silky coffee to glide over her tongue, ”When I saw Miss Sullivan that day, your appearance seemed familiar. Upon recalling carefully, I realized Miss Sullivan resembles someone I know well.”

Sophie’s eyelids lifted slightly, ”Oh? Who is this acquaintance of Miss Lillian Spencer?”

Knock knock knock.

The waiter entered with a cup of water and placed it in front of Sophie, ”Miss Sullivan, here’s your water.”

Lillian Spencer put down her coffee and said lightly, ”Leave now, and don’t let anyone disturb us unless instructed otherwise.”

”Yes.” The waiter bowed and exited the private room.

Sophie picked up the water cup, toyed with it for a while, but didn’t drink.

Lillian Spencer raised an eyebrow, finding it extremely interesting, ”Is Miss Sullivan afraid I’ve drugged it?”

”It’s always good to be cautious.”

Without determining whether Lillian Spencer was friend or foe, she didn’t dare drink rashly.

Moreover, she hadn’t forgotten Thomas Shannon’s warning.

Thomas Shannon was domineering, but he wouldn’t warn her to stay away from Lillian Spencer without reason.

Unless... Lillian Spencer herself was dangerous, which is why he forbade her from getting close.

Thinking this way, it seemed to explain why Thomas Shannon didn’t allow her to approach Lillian Spencer.

”Miss Sullivan is indeed straightforward, but I like it.” Lillian Spencer laughed softly, without a trace of anger on her face. Instead, there was a hint of appreciation in her gaze as she looked at her.
