Pampered by My Secret Husband-Chapter 885 - 887: Don’t Set Your Sights on Thomas Shannon

"Linda, should I call you Isla or Linda?"

Sophie Sullivan looked slightly confused as she held her forehead, her red lips slightly curled, exuding a peerless cold charm.

Linda remained silent and did not speak.

Sophie Sullivan was also tired and began to laugh softly, "Whether you are Linda or Isla, I have to tell you one thing, do not set your sights on Thomas Shannon. And do not think of using Edward Benson to get close and assassinate him."

The reason she said this was simply for Edward Benson’s sake.

Edward Benson was now the most pitiful person caught in the middle.

On one side, he had regained his beloved woman, on the other, his friend of many years.

If these two were at odds, how should he choose?

However, Sophie Sullivan was even more curious about what deep-seated hatred Lillian Spencer had against Thomas Shannon to send someone to assassinate him.

Obviously, Linda would not tell her.

Oh well... 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

She would eventually find out, no rush for now.

Getting up, she took Gaby upstairs, intending to return to the bedroom for some make-up sleep.

Inside the study room, Thomas Shannon sat in the boss chair holding Harry, while Edward Benson sat on the sofa.

He looked weary, raised his hand, rubbed his face, and tried to gather his spirits.

"Edward, have you ever thought about why Linda appeared at this time?"

Edward Benson shook his head and gave a bitter smile, "I haven’t thought about it... I’m afraid to think, even believing it’s heaven pitying me by sending her back to my side."

But he also knew he was just deceiving himself.

She was not sent to his side by heaven, but rather someone plotting everything in secret.

He himself was included in the plan.

Even the time that night when the news of Isla being with Thomas Shannon hit him was deliberately orchestrated by someone.

By not thinking about it, he didn’t have to face the harsh reality so soon.

He could deceive himself into thinking Isla had already returned, that she was back by his side...

"All of this is Lillian Spencer’s scheme."

Thomas Shannon scratched Harry’s chin with one hand, continuing, "You know why Lillian Spencer is using Linda, don’t you?"

Edward Benson nodded, "I know, Isla uses me to get close to you, thereby getting the chance to assassinate you."

Thomas Shannon curled the corner of his mouth; fortunately, emotions did not blind his eyes.

"Have you ever thought about investigating Linda’s experiences?"

As to why she was with Lillian Spencer and then became her killing machine.

Isn’t that suspicious?

Back then, he searched for her like a needle in the ocean yet couldn’t find her, but unexpectedly Lillian Spencer did. The reasoning behind this is thought-provoking.

Edward Benson nodded, "Thomas, I understand what you mean. I will investigate thoroughly. As for Isla and Lillian Spencer... although I don’t want to plead for Isla, she is different from Lillian Spencer."

"I don’t plan to hold her accountable, as long as she doesn’t act again, I can treat this matter as if nothing happened."

But if it happens again, he won’t show mercy.

This time, it’s only out of respect for him that he won’t pursue it.

Next time, if Linda still doesn’t know what’s good for her, then he can’t be blamed.

Anyone who tries to assassinate him must pay the price, and Linda will not be an exception.

The two talked for a long time inside the study room before Edward Benson went downstairs.

Linda stood in front of the fountain in the castle, arms crossed over her chest, lost in thought.

"Isla, let’s go back." Edward Benson approached her, wrapping an arm around her shoulder.

Linda turned her head, looked coldly at the hand resting on her shoulder, "Take it off."
