Chapter 1116: Chapter 1118: What Hidden Secrets Lie Inside?
She called Lucifer and waited anxiously for him to answer the phone.
"Hello?"
"Hello? Is this Lucifer?"
Lucifer frowned, "Who are you?"
Fluffy Zane let out a sigh of relief, it seemed he was indeed Lucifer, "I’m Fluffy Zane, a friend of Fennie’s."
A friend of Cecilia Branford?
Lucifer’s tone softened a bit, "Did Cecilia ask you to call me?"
"Yes, Fennie asked me to contact you, to have you rescue her. But currently, she’s being held by Young Master Shannon at the... Military Base."
Lucifer cursed softly upon hearing this, "Damn it!"
He knew Thomas Shannon wouldn’t hide Cecilia Branford so easily; once he decided to hide her, he would never let anyone have a chance to take her away.
"Is she okay?" Lucifer was most worried about how Thomas Shannon was treating her.
"Fennie fell ill, but she’s recovered now, so don’t worry too much."
Cecilia Branford fell ill, it must be Thomas Shannon’s fault.
She was fine in Country F, eating and drinking well, but after being taken by Thomas Shannon, she fell ill.
This showed the kind of life she was living now.
Lucifer clenched his fist tightly, he had to find a way to rescue Cecilia Branford.
After hanging up the phone, Lucifer pondered over and over, planning to exert pressure on Country A in the name of Country F’s official stance when unexpectedly, he received surprising news.
"Your Highness, Andres is also on tonight’s guest list." Leo urgently reported the news he had just received. ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com
Lucifer’s hand holding the mobile phone tightened abruptly, "Andres is also on tonight’s guest list?"
"Yes, I just received the message too, the reason we didn’t see it earlier was because Andres is a special guest, so he wasn’t on the list."
Lucifer’s expression turned cold, what was this banquet tonight, how could a leisure person like Andres be among the special guests?
Could it be... there are some hidden truths within?
......
After receiving William Guillen’s call, Thomas Shannon hurried back to the Imperial City.
Over the phone, William Guillen didn’t make things clear with a few words; it wasn’t until Thomas saw him that he understood everything that had happened.
Since being rescued from the Presidential Mansion last time, Isla Stanley had been staying at Edward Benson’s suburban Villa.
She was determined to leave; Edward Benson naturally wouldn’t allow it, especially now when she was suffering from amnesia, with no one to rely on.
If she left him, Lillian Spencer might not spare her.
He forcibly made Isla stay, Isla feeling guilty inside, unable to face him, the conflict erupted when Isla wanted revenge.
Although she didn’t know who her enemy was, she was determined to get the truth from Lillian Spencer.
Edward Benson, unable to persuade her, had no choice but to confess everything.
Before cutting ties with the Thompson Family, Edward was called Jacob Thompson, since the incident with Isla, he completely severed ties with the Thompson Family and took his mother’s surname, changing his name.
Since then, he never set foot in the Thompson Family again, even when General Thompson personally came to find him several times, he shut the door on them, having them swept out.
Indeed, there was no room for emotions.
Nowadays, with Isla determined to find her enemy and take revenge, he couldn’t just stand by and watch her go to Lillian Spencer and meet her demise.
So, he had to lay everything on the table; back then, Jacob was pursuing Isla, he fell in love with her at first sight.
He didn’t, because of her poor family background, have any prejudice or look down on her in any way.
