Pampered by My Secret Husband-Chapter 686 - 689: Even if she made a mistake, he would take care of it.

No one had ever found out, let alone the Young Master punishing her.

So much so that she became arrogant, thinking she had unparalleled abilities and could do anything without being noticed.

What she forgot was that Thomas Shannon wasn’t a fool.

He was a decisive leader, the President of K Group. How could he possibly not find out everything she had done?

Realizing this, Minimus Hart felt cold all over.

She filled the dug-up soil back in and staggered back to the medical office.

She tossed and turned all night, unable to sleep.

Dressed up, Sophie Sullivan put on the gorgeous ruby mask again.

Thomas Shannon was in formal wear: a well-fitted shirt, suit, and Italian handmade leather shoes. His handsome looks, with a sharp air, made it hard for people to look away.

The noble air he was born with and his strong, intimidating aura invisibly exuded a powerful deterrent effect.

Sophie touched her mask. She had gotten used to not wearing a mask, and suddenly putting one on was a bit uncomfortable.

"You still haven’t told me what banquet we’re attending tonight?"

"An anniversary celebration for a husband and wife."

After Thomas Shannon spoke, he took her hand and led her outside.

Once they were in the car, Thomas Shannon tilted his head to look at her, his voice low, speaking gradually, "You can take off the mask if you’re uncomfortable."

"Why do you have to bring me along? Can’t you just find a female companion who doesn’t need to wear a mask?"

Sophie took off her mask, feeling quite frustrated.

"You’ll know when you get there."

The fortified Presidential Palace.

After passing through several checkpoints and being granted access layer by layer, they finally arrived at the hall where the banquet was being held tonight.

Sophie held Thomas Shannon’s arm. "This husband and wife you mentioned must be very special."

With guards stationed every few steps, plus mobile patrols visible everywhere, the high-intensity security work indicated that the master of tonight’s banquet held a distinguished identity.

"Young Master Shannon, please go inside. His Excellency Mr. President and the First Lady are already waiting for you."

"Alright."

Thomas Shannon turned his head, looking at Sophie, the corner of his mouth hooking slightly. "Nervous?"

Sophie’s lips curved into a faint smile. "Why should I be nervous when I have you?"

Even if she made some small mistake, he would take care of it. She didn’t need to be nervous.

Following the butler’s lead, Thomas Shannon and Sophie approached His Excellency Mr. President and the Madam.

His Excellency Mr. President sat on a sofa, with the dignified First Lady sitting beside him.

Although smiling, the high-ranking President possessed an imposing air, commanding respect without needing to speak. 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢

"Thomas Shannon is here," His Excellency Mr. President said with a smile, his gaze sweeping from Thomas Shannon’s face to rest on Sophie’s.

"Uncle, Auntie, I’ve come on behalf of my parents to express our congratulations."

As Thomas Shannon stepped aside, Charlie River immediately presented the prepared gifts. The butler accepted the gifts, walked over to His Excellency Mr. President, and bowed for him to inspect them.

His Excellency Mr. President nodded with a smile. "Is this your parents’ idea?"

"Yes. Father said that Uncle and Auntie first met on a snow mountain and subsequently fell in love. For this joyous occasion, he believed a gift of commemorative significance would be the best way to convey our heartfelt congratulations."

The First Lady’s expression softened. "Thomas Shannon, don’t just stand there talking. Please, sit down."

Thomas Shannon sat down with Sophie. Sophie observed stealthily. This seems to be a side hall. Besides me and Thomas Shannon, there are no other guests. It appears... His Excellency Mr. President and the First Lady are giving Thomas Shannon a special reception.

The butler poured tea and placed it in front of Thomas Shannon and Sophie.
