Chapter 1118: Chapter 1120: So, You Refuse to Hand Him Over?
He was furious. After breaking his stepmother’s leg, he severed all ties with the Thompson Family and changed his name to his mother’s surname.
All these years, he has been searching.
Whenever there was any news, even if it was just a similar silhouette, he would travel miles to find it in person.
Time and time again, he hoped, and time and time again, he was disappointed. He even suspected that Isla Stanley was no longer in the world when Linda appeared in front of him.
He was sure she was his Isla Stanley. Even if she turned to ashes, he would recognize her.
However... She had lost her memory.
Memory loss didn’t matter; he would love her regardless.
Isla Stanley wanted revenge; she wanted to find Lillian Spencer and ask who her enemy truly was.
How could Edward Benson let her risk herself? He told her the complete truth from before.
After she fell asleep, he left the villa and went to the Thompsons’ Manor.
General Thompson was not there; he was detained by his stepmother and half-brother. It was his bodyguard who managed to escape and report the message.
However, William Guillen only received the news after the meeting ended.
After Thomas Shannon met with William Guillen, they immediately went to the Thompsons’ Manor.
General Thompson was not present; Edward Benson’s stepmother, now Mrs. Thompson, received them.
"What wind has brought Young Master Shannon and Young Master Guillen here?" Mrs. Thompson was General Thompson’s second wife; she was only in her twenties when she married him and was now in her thirties.
Her youth was her capital, and with proper maintenance, she looked even more radiant.
Thomas Shannon sneered, not wanting to waste any time on her, and went straight to the point, "Where’s Edward?"
"Our Thompson Family doesn’t have anyone by the name of Edward. Young Master Shannon, you must be looking for the wrong person?" Mrs. Thompson spoke provocatively, ever since Edward Benson severed ties with the Thompson Family, her son became the sole favorite.
Her status in the Thompson Family was enhanced by her son, and with the title of General’s wife, she was highly esteemed in the circle.
So much so, that she forgot her own identity and also forgot the status of Thomas Shannon standing in front of her.
William Guillen sneered, "So you’re not going to hand him over?"
Mrs. Thompson smiled slightly, "My husband is not at home. You two juniors want to trouble a woman like me; I have nothing to say. Butler, see them out."
"Give face, don’t want face!"
William Guillen has always had a bad temper. At this moment, concerned about Edward Benson’s safety, he couldn’t care less about maintaining the gentlemanly facade and reached out to grab her.
His hand was intercepted in mid-air by Thomas Shannon.
"Thomas, you!"
Thomas Shannon shook his head and uttered a word with his thin lips, "Don’t dirty your hands."
"Charlie River." freeωebnovēl.c૦m
"Young Master, I’m here." Charlie River stepped forward.
"Do you know what to do?" Thomas Shannon released William Guillen’s hand and leisurely adjusted his cufflinks.
Charlie River responded respectfully, "Young Master, the official residence has already been surrounded by our people, all guards controlled. Also, Your Excellency Mr. President’s telephone has been connected."
Saying this, Charlie River offered the mobile phone with his hand.
Thomas Shannon smiled with cold allure at the corner of the mouth, like a king who overlooks the world, staring coldly at the pale-faced Mrs. Thompson.
"No... Young Master Shannon, this must be a misunderstanding." Mrs. Thompson spoke, reaching out to grab the mobile phone.
Charlie River reacted, then swung a slap in the face, "How dare you!"
Smack!
Mrs. Thompson’s face was made swollen high by Charlie River’s slap, and she covered her face in disbelief.
