Pampered by My Secret Husband

”Last time Lucifer hit me, he was so angry that he lost his rationality. He said it wasn’t the first time he hit me, and told me not to be so surprised.”

Isabel wasn’t angry because of that slap from Lucifer; instead, she felt happy because she learned Cecilia Branford’s secret.

See, everyone envies Miss Cecilia Branford, envies her childhood sweetheart relationship with Lucifer, envies how Lucifer dotes on her endlessly. But who knows, in secret she’s just someone Lucifer scolds casually.

There’s nothing noble about her; she’s merely a woman with an extremely strong vanity.

Who knows how many times she’s been hit in secret, yet outwardly she can still act as if she and Lucifer have a deep childhood friendship.

Truly hypocritical to the point of being nauseating.

Andres’ expression turned solemn as he raised his gaze, looking at his daughter who seemed lost, ”Isabel, you’re saying Lucifer hit you?”

”Of course, Daddy, would I lie to you?”

Isabel raised her hand, touched her face, and said angrily, ”The slap from Lucifer hurt so much. You know the sacrifices I’ve made to appear like Cecilia; I couldn’t bear to touch this face. And there was Lucifer delivering a slap to it; I was nearly driven crazy with anger at that time!”

Something’s off...

Andres felt something was off; Lucifer’s affection for Cecilia was genuinely good.

Especially after Cecilia’s Daddy and Mommy passed away, Lucy was the one who accompanied her through the grief, helping her out of sorrow.

Lucifer couldn’t have possibly hit Cecilia.

But Isabel’s words wouldn’t be false either...

So, what exactly was the problem?

Andres’ gaze sharpened, and Isabel’s heart skipped a beat as she uneasily sat upright, ”Daddy, what’s wrong... Why are you looking at me like that?”

”Isabel, I ask you, when Lucifer was getting along with you, was there any difference compared to how he was with Cecilia?”

”Difference?” Isabel pretended to think carefully, ”Probably not as many little gestures... Before, didn’t Lucifer and Cecilia love to stick together? But I didn’t feel like Lucifer wanted to be close with me...”

Bang!

Andres slapped the desk heavily, his face furious, ”This is bad.”

”Wh... what’s wrong, Daddy?”

Andres looked uneasy, suddenly standing up and began pacing back and forth anxiously, ”Lucifer must have found out something.”

Isabel felt like she heard a colossal joke, she laughed and said, ”Daddy, what are you talking about, how could Lucifer possibly find out?”

”Lucifer left Country F, coincidentally during the year Cecilia had her accident, then waking up from a car accident with amnesia and a ruined voice. Do you think he’d completely believe it?”

Andres really wanted to pry open Isabel’s head to see if it was filled with water, so stupid it made him extremely disappointed.

Being told this, Isabel also started getting a bit fearful, counting it up, Lucifer indeed had many things that were off.

Andres held his forehead with his hand, calmed himself, ”Isabel, you go out first.”

Picking up the phone, Andres immediately called K Group, ”Hello, this is Andres. Please convey to your President that I hope to meet as soon as possible.”

Sophie Sullivan was waiting for Derek Clark to pick her up, but unexpectedly, it was a sullen Thomas Shannon who arrived.
