Pampered by My Secret Husband-Chapter 884 - 886: I’m Sorry... I Misjudged You

"Before clearing up the misunderstanding, I mistakenly took action against you."

Edward Benson spoke to this extent, Thomas Shannon saw no necessity to continue being difficult.

He extinguished the cigarette butt, pulled the cowering Harry into his embrace with one hand, and looked at Linda with some disdain, "Why don’t you ask Linda about the truth of the affair."

Edward Benson did ask before, didn’t he?

But Isla Stanley refused to speak, and he couldn’t force her. Having Isla Stanley back from being lost and then regained, Edward Benson didn’t want to do anything to make things difficult for her.

So, he came to find him.

Sophie Sullivan couldn’t stand it anymore. If Thomas Shannon kept being arrogant, it would drag out till the afternoon without clarity.

She planned to clarify things first, then go upstairs to catch up on a sleep.

Old Mr. Standford did mention that she should take care of her body recently, to raise her physical condition and prepare for surgery. A good physical state aids post-surgery recovery.

"The Isla Stanley you speak of is called Linda at Lillian Spencer’s place. She was sent by Lillian Spencer to assassinate Thomas Shannon. Unfortunately, Thomas Shannon was fine, and she got caught and brought back."

Thomas Shannon turned his head, glaring at her, seemingly annoyed by her bias toward Edward Benson.

Sophie Sullivan peevishly pushed his head away, continuing under Edward Benson’s shocked gaze, "Upon seeing Linda’s face, Thomas Shannon naturally thought the same as you, guessing she might be Isla Stanley. Later, he sent someone to investigate, intending to inform you once Linda’s identity was clear, to spare you unwarranted excitement. Unexpectedly, you caught wind quickly and came in an imposing manner seeking people."

The words assassination strongly resonated in Edward Benson’s ears.

He never expected that Thomas Shannon and Isla Stanley would meet in this way.

He turned to look at Linda, who was expressionless and rather indifferent, "Why? Why attempt to assassinate Thomas?"

"It was my mission, there’s no reason."

Lillian Spencer issued the command, her responsibility was to complete the mission, without the privilege to ask why.

"Mission?" Edward Benson gave a bitter smile, gripping her shoulder, forcing her to look at him, "Isla Stanley, you are human, not a killing machine. Why do you obey Lillian Spencer’s orders?"

Linda pried Edward Benson’s hand away, "No comment."

Linda was as cold as a glacier that never thaws, freezing anyone who approached her.

Edward Benson felt the chill creep from his feet, his heart simultaneously turning cold.

Thomas Shannon snorted coldly, Edward Benson turned around, looking apologetic at his friend, "Thomas, I’m sorry... I misunderstood you."

"As long as you recognize your fault." 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

Thomas Shannon stood up, turned his head, giving him a cold glance, "Come up with me."

Edward Benson knew he had something to discuss with him, nodded, and instructed Linda to sit here and wait for him to come down.

Linda sensed Sophie Sullivan’s unfriendly gaze, coldly meeting her eyes, "Got something?"

"Spit it out, you came with Edward Benson, what’s your game?"

Linda remained silent.

"Even if you don’t speak, I know. You want to use Edward Benson to get close to Thomas Shannon, to assassinate him, right?"

Sophie Sullivan looked at Gaby who jumped onto the sofa, lying next to her, resting its large head on her legs, and she couldn’t help but fondly pat its head, "Gaby, you’re not young anymore, don’t always act spoiled."

Linda looked at Sophie Sullivan, then at the tiger beside her. Clearly, this tiger had already been tamed, becoming her pet.

The law in Country A seems to not allow private ownership of large and fierce animals, right?
