Pampered by My Secret Husband

Even if she were the true heir, she’s probably unable to reclaim everything that rightfully belongs to her now.

She never expected that in her own country, there would be such dark dealings.

Her uncle, isn’t he using everything he seized to settle these messes, and then openly and shamelessly enjoy and squander everything that belongs to her?

Isabel...

Her cousin sister, who has always been inferior to her since they were young, has been jealous of her since childhood. Not only that, she also likes her fiancé, Liam Donald.

It’s not surprising to Sophie Sullivan that she could do all these things.

What’s surprising is that her uncle, her own uncle, could treat her this way.

She believed she had been impeccable towards her uncle and aunt’s family, yet she never expected that money could truly drive people to the depths of evil.

Feeling her fearful trembling, Thomas Shannon held her tight, gently patting her back, ”Fennie, don’t be surprised. Your uncle has been eyeing the family fortune for a long time. Your Grandpa set the will, your father became the heir, and your uncle couldn’t do business, all to prevent one day when the brothers would tear each other apart over the inheritance. But your uncle was unwilling. After your father and mother were no longer around, he was even more unwilling to let the family fortune fall into the hands of a girl like you. He’s an elder, but he had to be suppressed by a junior like you...”

The greed and ugliness of human nature, at this moment, were cruelly exposed by him.

Sophie clenched his shirt on his chest, ”Stop talking... Thomas Shannon, just stop talking.”

”Little poor thing, now only I can help you, you better think it through.” Thomas Shannon held her, burying his head in her neck, murmuring softly.

All along, Thomas Shannon didn’t think that power was so enticing.

Until now, he finally understood that the allure of power was irresistible.

It is precisely because of power that he can protect the ones he wants to protect.

Just like now, she helplessly leaned against his embrace, and he could offer her a safe haven.

”Thomas Shannon, you’re threatening me again.”

Sophie raised her head, crashing it hard onto his chest.

Thump!

Sophie winced with tears flickering at the corner of her eyes, clutching her forehead tightly, ”It hurts...”

Thomas Shannon couldn’t help but laugh, lifting his head, his eyebrow tips tinged with amusement, ”Move your hand, let me see.”

”None of your business.”

”Don’t be stubborn, let me see.” Thomas Shannon moved her hand aside, revealing her smooth, shiny forehead, already red in one spot.

Thomas Shannon brushed it lightly with his fingertip, causing her to gasp in pain, ”Thomas Shannon, you did this on purpose, didn’t you?”

”If I did it on purpose, right now your forehead wouldn’t just be red. I guarantee there would be a big bump.”

Sophie: ”...”

The more she thought about it, the more wronged she felt, lowering her eyelids and letting out a hum.

Thomas Shannon sat down with her in his arms, placing her on his lap, gently rubbing her forehead with one hand, ”I’ll give you time to think, but you need to understand, time is really running out. Even if your uncle’s deal with me doesn’t go through, in this world, I am not the only arms dealer. The unmanned war machines of K Group are certainly in demand, but due to their expensive price and scarcity, someone is bound to settle for second best and choose other alternatives.”

”Is not having children an option?” Sophie asked in a muffled voice, her beautiful eyes still brimming with tears.

Thomas Shannon’s thin lips pressed slightly, his handsome face darkened, did she really detest having his child so much?

”Thomas Shannon, is it possible?”

”No.”
