Lucifer nodded with satisfaction, very good, this is his Cecilia.
He raised his hand, gently ruffling her head, his deep blue eyes filled with doting affection, "There are plenty of guards, if any ignorant fellow dares to defy you, feel free to punish them, we have enough people."
"I won’t be polite with you." Sophie smiled, lowering her head to touch the little yellow duck in her palm.
Where on earth did Gaby find this poor little fellow?
On this side of the compartment, the atmosphere was harmonious, while on the other side, at the manor entrance, Thomas Shannon’s tall, upright figure leaned slantingly against the car door, a lit cigarette clamped between his slender fingertips.
A faint smoke lingered around him, further highlighting that cold, stern face that warned strangers away.
Impatiently taking a deep drag of the cigarette, Thomas Shannon turned his head and looked at Charlie River beside him, "Where are they?"
"Young Master, they haven’t come out yet."
Thomas Shannon sneered, not come out yet?
Sophie said she would return home, she will definitely go home today. Lucifer is deliberately causing trouble, trying to prevent him from seeing his woman, there are plenty of ways to shake him off.
The monk can run, but the temple won’t run away. Since they haven’t come out yet, he might as well wait at Onassis Old Castle. Sooner or later, he’ll catch that heartless little rascal, Sophie.
The man tossed away the cigarette from his fingertips, a mocking curve forming on his sexy thin lips, "Let’s go, we won’t wait for her today."
"Young Master..." Just as Charlie River was about to speak, Thomas Shannon turned and got into the car.
Charlie River thought he had given up at that moment, but Thomas Shannon lowered the car window, impatiently saying, "What are you still standing there for, get in the car!"
Once in the car, Charlie River realized he had underestimated his Young Master.
If Young Master Shannon could give up so easily, then he wouldn’t be Thomas Shannon.
"To Onassis Old Castle."
When the man’s deep voice emphasized this sentence, Charlie River’s mind suddenly cleared, so that’s it!
Onassis Old Castle.
At the foot of the mountain, a black Rolls-Royce convoy arrogantly spread out in a line, blocking the gate.
The stance of no entrance and no exit was both domineering and arrogant.
The bodyguards tried to step forward for negotiations, warning them to back off within the cordon.
Charlie River got out of the car with the men in black, both sides stood in confrontation, the atmosphere was tense as if a conflict could break out at any moment, when another convoy gradually approached.
From afar, Leo noticed the situation in front.
"Your Highness, Miss Cecilia, there seems to be a situation ahead."
"What situation?" Sophie asked casually.
Her attention was entirely focused on the little yellow duck in her palm, truly a pitiful sight, not only shivering from being scared by Gaby but now convulsing all over.
"It seems... Thomas Shannon is up ahead."
Lucifer’s handsome face suddenly darkened, Thomas Shannon is up ahead?
Wasn’t that guy sticking around shamelessly at the manor entrance?
Why is he here?
Sophie’s hand paused on the little yellow duck, lifting her head in surprise, she almost doubted what she heard, "Leo, what did you say?"
Who... is in front?!
"Miss Cecilia, it’s Thomas Shannon ahead. They have a situation... it looks like they’re about to fight."
As Leo’s words fell, the convoy drove to the rear of Thomas Shannon’s convoy.
The bodyguards of Onassis Old Castle saw the familiar emblem on the convoy, seemingly coming to a savior.
The car doors opened simultaneously, guards disembarked in orderly fashion, with Lucifer leading, extending a hand, only when Sophie placed her hand in his did he help her out of the car.
