Pampered by My Secret Husband

Chapter 1159: Chapter 1161: Thomas Shannon, Is This Your New Love Interest?

Isabel didn’t want to fall out with him, so she went down the stairs.

The affair was even more complicated than Isabel had imagined; she thought that once she spoke up, Thomas Shannon would agree.

She had overestimated herself; she didn’t expect it would be so hard to make him relent.

The business deal fell through, so naturally, returning to the Country would be impossible.

Thus, Isabel had no choice but to continue staying with Andres.

Thomas Shannon, like someone completely unbothered, took her to eat, drink, and play in various places throughout the Imperial City every day.

Like a diligent local guide, he showed none of the busyness of a President of the Group.

Isabel was long tired of it, she pressed her forehead in exhaustion, "Thomas Shannon, I want to try my luck in your Casino."

Thomas Shannon had no reason to refuse, so naturally he took her to the Golden Wing Palace.

Arriving at the VIP hall, Thomas Shannon told her to play freely; her losses would be on him, her wins would be hers.

"No problem." After sitting down, Isabel smiled at Thomas Shannon beside her and said, "Let me show you my skills."

Thomas Shannon lit one cigarette and took a deep inhalation, "It seems Cecilia Branford is quite the expert."

"Not an expert, just got some small skills."

Isabel had just played two rounds when she heard a teasing voice come through, "Thomas, is this your new love interest?"

William Guillen came over to have some fun with a few CEO clients. After hearing from the manager that he was here, he came over and saw an astonishing scene.

As soon as that woman turned her head, William Guillen almost blurted out ’maniac’.

Thankfully, Charlie River gave him a knowing look, and William Guillen barely held back his words.

Because Cecilia Branford’s mother was from Country A, Isabel had heard and seen much since she was young and could roughly understand some simple phrases.

Isabel asked Thomas Shannon in English, "Thomas Shannon, who is he?"

At the moment he heard the voice, William Guillen knew this woman wasn’t the maniac.

The look was wrong, the tone was wrong, even the voice was wrong.

Thomas Shannon flicked off the cigarette ash, casually saying, "This is my friend, William Guillen. William, this is Mr. Andres’ niece, Miss Cecilia Branford."

Oh!

William Guillen exclaimed internally, don’t fool him, he knew the maniac was truly the oil tycoon’s little princess Cecilia.

This Cecilia must be the imposter.

His thoughts spun rapidly but only for a moment; William Guillen maintained a gentleman’s smile, gentle and mild, proactively extending his hand, "Hello, first meet, my apologies."

"Hello." Isabel, showing little interest, shook his hand briefly, her focus returning to the card game.

William Guillen secretly signaled Thomas Shannon with a look, asking what exactly was going on; with the maniac not there, why bring out an imposter?

Didn’t he know this was the maniac’s enemy?

If the maniac learned of this, with her explosive temper, did he still think he’d have peaceful days ahead?

Thomas Shannon continued puffing away, pretending he hadn’t seen the signaling look, which almost made William Guillen explode on the spot in anger.

Alright!

Playing dumb, huh?

William Guillen sat down with a thud, intentionally or otherwise striking up conversation with Isabel, from her name to her looks, continually praising until Isabel was laughing like a flower.

Having established a rapport, he then started probing, asking how she came to Country A and how she got mixed up with Thomas Shannon, such a taciturn guy.

Feeling pleasant from William Guillen’s sincere praises, Isabel didn’t hide anything; she just told him everything.
