Charlie River nodded. "Indeed, we were all deceived by her."However, subjective bias had played a larger part. Especially for the Young Master; the scales in his heart had unknowingly tipped towards the maniac. That was why Amelia Shaw had suffered such a miserable defeat this time. The Young Master had only needed to see the half-empty coffee cup on the tea table to conclude that Amelia Shaw had tampered with it. This clearly showed that, in his heart, he was biased towards the maniac. Thomas Shannon leaned back in his boss chair, leisurely exhaling smoke. "The maniac needs a little punishment," he said. "Young Master, how do you intend to punish the maniac?" Thomas Shannon just smiled but said nothing. Sophie Sullivan returned to the castle and ran right into the doctor, who was just coming out. Having done something wrong, Sophie felt too guilty to look the doctor in the eye. When the doctor saw her, his face flushed red with anger. "Maniac, you!" "Doctor, the medicine you prescribed is quite effective. My vocal cords don’t hurt anymore. I can shout and yell now. Thank you." Without pausing for breath, Sophie said her piece and quickly slipped away. The doctor turned, watched her retreating figure, and snorted. Luckily, I was smart enough to report to the Young Master in time.Otherwise, she would have really landed me in deep trouble!No, I have to get back to my office immediately and destroy all the remaining aphrodisiac.If she steals it again to cause trouble, I might not be so lucky next time; the Young Master might actually hold me responsible. Sophie was about to collapse onto the sofa, utterly exhausted. To see Amelia Shaw’s miserable state, she had dragged her legs, still trembling from the exertion of the past two days. She had really pushed herself. "Maniac." Charlie River suddenly appeared, his face expressionless as he called her. Sophie was startled, then stood up. "What is it?" "The Young Master wants to see you. Come with me." "What could Thomas Shannon possibly want with me?" Sophie didn’t want to move; her legs were incredibly sore. "It’s important." Charlie River kept it brief and urged her, "The Young Master has little patience. Hurry up and follow me." Sophie reluctantly followed Charlie River out. Charlie River walked very quickly, and Sophie struggled to keep up. "Charlie River, where on earth is Thomas Shannon?" "The Young Master is at the golf course." That bastard! Sophie cursed internally. Why walk so far? What about the car? Is the car just for show? It seemed Charlie River was deliberately tormenting her. His pace grew faster and faster, with no regard for whether Sophie could keep up behind him. Poor Sophie. After overexerting herself last night, her whole body still ached. And that bastard Thomas Shannon still wanted to torture her on top of it all! She abruptly stopped, thinking angrily, I’m not going!Let him do whatever he wants!It’s not like Thomas Shannon would kill me if I don’t go, would he? That bastard, Charlie River, seemed to have eyes in the back of his head. The moment she stopped, he immediately turned around and coldly reminded her, "Maniac, the Young Master detests waiting. If you make him wait too long, you’ll bear the consequences yourself." "So what if I bear the consequences? Who are you trying to threaten?" Does he take me for a fool?Can’t I tell that Thomas Shannon treats me differently?Can’t I feel that Thomas Shannon is good to me? Charlie River gave her a rare smile, though it was more of a threat than anything. "Do you know why the doctor came to see the Young Master?" he asked. The doctor... Thomas Shannon... Putting those two together, it would be hard for Sophie not to figure it out!Besides, the doctor had looked so furious when he saw her. He must have discovered the aphrodisiac she stole. She stared suspiciously at Charlie River. Could it be... Don’t tell me... Thomas Shannon knows?
