CHAPTER 274: CHAPTER 276: BECAUSE HE LOVES YOU, HE REFRAINS FROM TOUCHING YOU

The sequence of his movements was so fluid, as if the person who showed the slightest hint of reluctance earlier wasn’t him.

Thomas Shannon left with most of the men in black.

Only a few of them remained to escort her back to the manor.

「...」

Upon returning to the castle, Sophie Sullivan went straight upstairs without glancing elsewhere.

"Stop."

Amelia Shaw, who was sitting on the sofa, stopped her.

Sophie paused, her eyebrows slightly raised, her tone cold, "What is it?"

"Where is Thomas?"

"How ridiculous! Why do you seek Thomas Shannon from me?"

Sophie turned her head back, scoffed, "Or do you think I’m so kind-hearted as to tell you where Thomas Shannon is?"

Amelia Shaw calmly approached her, "You maniac, don’t overestimate yourself. You’re nothing but a woman Thomas uses to provoke me. Once he’s done, it’s your turn to get lost."

She was fed up with the arrogant look of the maniac in front of her.

Some ugly oddity out of nowhere, thinking that she’s a celestial beauty, and that she could charm Thomas Shannon.

It’s both laughable and pitiful!

Sophie Sullivan didn’t want to deal with the frenzied Amelia Shaw, but seeing her so confident made it impossible for Sophie to not fight back.

"Are you sure that I’m just someone Thomas Shannon uses to piss you off?"

Amelia Shaw looked at her scornfully, "Do you really think that Thomas likes you? Without a pretty face, you ugly oddity, Thomas isn’t blind!"

"Haven’t you heard what Thomas Shannon said? ’Once the lights are off, they are all the same. The most important thing is the figure and how it feels.’"

She smirked provocatively and moved closer to Amelia, "And the most important thing is the compatibility of the bodies."

"Shameless!"

Amelia growled in exasperation, "We are women, what you have, I have too. You should feel guilty for mentioning ’compatibility’."

"Of course, every woman would have their own unique features."

Sophie paused for a few seconds, then said with a light laugh, "Or, you think, what does Thomas Shannon like about me?"

"He’s just venting out on you, don’t think too much!"

"Then why isn’t he venting out on you? Don’t tell me, it’s because he loves you, and that’s why he doesn’t touch you."

Amelia’s last shred of dignity was pierced. She felt both angry and annoyed. She raised her hand to slap Sophie, "You lowly person!"

Before her hand could strike Sophie’s face, Sophie grabbed it.

Sophie glanced at her hand suspended in mid-air, her lips curved coldly, "Amelia Shaw, are you courting death?"

A sharp pain in her wrist, Amelia stared at Sophie in disbelief, her eyes wide open, "You..."

She shook off her hand disgustedly. Sophie glanced at her, warning, "I’m in a good mood tonight so I won’t argue with you. Get out of my sight now."

Leaving her words hanging in the air, Sophie turned around and went upstairs.

Minimus Hart watched the whole scene from a corner, her lips twitched; looks like there was more drama to come.

She left the Restaurant and entered the main hall, gathering the maids, "Come here, line up."

All the maids gathered in front of her, standing in two lines.

Minimus Hart started assigning tasks to the maids, "Young Master is away on a business trip, return date unknown. Until his return, your main responsibility is to..."

Thomas Shannon is away on a business trip?

After hearing part of it, Amelia blankly went upstairs.

Thomas Shannon leaving on a business trip at this time, does it mean her plan has to be delayed?

Could the design drawings possibly be in the castle?
