Pampered by My Secret Husband-Chapter 70: You said, Young Master asked me to come over and accompany him?

Chapter 70: Chapter 70: You said, Young Master asked me to come over and accompany him?

She picked up the telephone and made a call to Thomas Shannon.

As expected, his telephone was powered off.

Putting down the telephone, Minimus Hart nonchalantly picked up Harry and took him for a bath.

***

Pain.

Her head throbbed violently.

Sophie Sullivan woke to find herself lying in a flower bush, her skin covered in scratches from its branches and leaves.

She struggled to her feet and surveyed her surroundings. It looked like a park.

The second before she lost consciousness, someone had struck her.

Who struck her?

And who just left her here?

She looked down to check her clothes. The collar was torn, and the rest of her attire was in disarray.

The sound of urgent footsteps approached. She looked up and saw men in black.

The men in black came forward and, without a word, seized her by both arms and led her away.

"Wait!"

"You tried to flee! Just wait for the Young Master’s punishment!"

Sophie Sullivan twisted her head to look back. "Let me go! Someone knocked me out and dumped me here..."

One of the men in black stopped and glanced at her. "Were you violated?"

Her clothes were disheveled, her collar was open, and her skin was covered in red marks; it was hard not to draw the wrong conclusion.

"Shut up! You’re the one who was violated!"

"An examination will determine the truth." The man who had spoken averted his gaze.

Conveniently, there was a hospital nearby. The men in black took Sophie Sullivan straight there and had a doctor examine her immediately.

The examination results showed no signs of assault.

Not only Sophie Sullivan, but even the men in black breathed a collective sigh of relief.

If, due to their negligence, the Young Master’s woman had been violated, they’d have no further need for their brains.

Forced into the car, Sophie Sullivan leaned against the seat, one hand pressed to her forehead.

Her head still throbbed dully. Damn it! Just wait until I find out who did this to me!

Upon returning to the castle, Sophie Sullivan had braced herself for a cruel punishment.

To her utter surprise, everything inside the castle was peaceful and calm.

Composedly, she went upstairs, returned to Thomas Shannon’s bedroom, took a sleep gown from the wardrobe, and went into the bath chamber.

That night, Sophie Sullivan slept fitfully.

Nightmares still plagued her sleep.

Horrifying, bloody, and chilling nightmares...

"No... Don’t kill me!"

Sophie Sullivan jolted upright in bed, gasping for breath, her back drenched in cold sweat.

She switched on the lamp. The brilliant light from the crystal chandelier dispelled the room’s darkness.

She quietly hugged her knees, all sleepiness gone.

「The next day.」

Minimus Hart received a telephone call from Charlie River. He relayed an order from Thomas Shannon that greatly surprised her.

She cast a meaningful glance at Sophie Sullivan. "You’re saying the Young Master wants me to go to him?"

"Not to accompany the Young Master. You have another mission!" Charlie River corrected her over the telephone.

Minimus Hart laughed. "Yes, I understand."

After hanging up the telephone, Minimus Hart began to summon the maids.

The maids all gathered. Once they were lined up, Minimus Hart addressed them, "I’ve just received an order from the Young Master. He wants me to go and join him. Starting today, while I am away, all of you must diligently perform your duties and carry out your work properly. Understood?"

"Understood, Sister Minnie."

Sophie Sullivan scoffed, shooting Minimus Hart a disdainful glance.

Minimus Hart smiled faintly, her demeanor elegant and proper. "Maniac, if you have something to say, spit it out."

"I have nothing to say to you."

Minimus Hart didn’t seem to mind, laughing it off.

The other maids, however, began to stick up for Minimus Hart. "Who does she think she is, acting all high and mighty? So self-important! The Young Master didn’t ask her to accompany him, did he?"
