The closed bath chamber door was suddenly pushed open from the outside.
Sophie Sullivan’s intent was too obvious. She must have something important to suddenly barge into the bath chamber.
Thomas Shannon reached out his hand and playfully lifted her delicate chin. "Do you even know what you’re doing? Did you learn the rules just to forget them?"
Sophie Sullivan turned her face away, her expression serious. "Young Master, I have important matters."
"Speak." As he held her chin, Thomas Shannon’s handsome face gradually approached hers.
"You haven’t finished what you promised me before. There are still two people left to deal with."
As she spoke, Sophie Sullivan pulled him to leave.
"Maniac!" Thomas Shannon growled.
Did she expect him to go out ?
Sophie Sullivan stopped in her tracks, impatiently asking, "What’s wrong now?"
How could a tough man be so fussy?
Can he even pull himself together?
He casually grabbed a bath towel and wrapped it around his waistline. Then, with a gloomy handsome face, Thomas Shannon brushed past her and walked out of the bath chamber.
Sophie Sullivan guiltily let out a sigh and immediately followed.
Pulling Thomas Shannon to the bedroom door, two maidens had already stood up without permission.
Sophie Sullivan was furious. "Who allowed you to stand up? Kneel!"
The maids looked terrified and glanced at Thomas Shannon before kneeling down, their heads respectfully lowered.
Her slender fingertip pointed at two men in black not far away in the corridor. "You two, come here."
The men in black hesitated, looking at Thomas Shannon for confirmation with their eyes.
This mere seconds of hesitation infuriated Sophie Sullivan. "Didn’t you hear me?"
Thomas Shannon’s lips hooked into an interested smile as he lowered his gaze, looking at the little maniac beside him who was pretending to be a tiger by borrowing the power of a fox.
Aside from her tenacity, she was especially good at bullying others with her position.
She exploited and used power to the fullest extent.
Thomas Shannon didn’t stop her, which was taken as tacit consent.
The two men in black hurriedly ran to her side and stood still.
Sophie Sullivan pointed at the two maidens and chuckled softly. "Hitting people is laborious work, and my hand is tired. So, in a little while, I’ll need the two of you to personally teach these disobedient servants a lesson."
"Young Master, this...?" The man in black looked troubled, glancing at Thomas Shannon for help.
The maniac wasn’t the master, but her status was also very delicate.
Inside the castle, who didn’t know that the Young Master treated the maniac differently?
Although it couldn’t be said that he particularly liked her, he was always especially tolerant.
The Young Master had broken many rules for her. They had all seen it.
Now that the Young Master hadn’t spoken yet, how could they act on their own?
The two maidens also kowtowed simultaneously, confessing, "Young Master, we know we were wrong. Please spare us this time."
Sophie Sullivan didn’t like hearing this.
What did they mean by sparing them this time?
If they were spared this time, wouldn’t they take revenge on her even more ruthlessly when Thomas Shannon wasn’t around next time?
"These words are so infuriating. So, when I make a mistake, I should be punished, but when you make a mistake, you should be unconditionally forgiven?"
The maids denied it repeatedly. "No, no."
"Then does the Young Master need to consult your opinion on how to punish you? Have you all forgotten the three absolutes of the castle?"
The two maidens trembled all over, rendered speechless by her scathing words.
Sophie Sullivan turned around, grinning, and opened her palm to Thomas Shannon. "Young Master, what should be done? You decide."
"What do you mean, ’what should be done?’"
Sophie Sullivan’s face didn’t redden, nor did her heart race. "So," she asked, "is it to be as I just said? Punish them so they learn their lesson thoroughly? Or forgive them, and let bygones be bygones for the mistakes they’ve made?"
