Chapter 1428 - 1430: I Am Cecilia Branford’s Husband

Liam looked at him with a hint of confusion, that look seemed to ask who he was.

Thomas Shannon’s lips curled into a perfectly timed smile, "The person Cecilia confessed to."

The person being confessed to?

Wasn’t Cecilia’s confession meant for him?

Sure enough, the next second Lucifer sneered, "Shameless, it’s one thing to use despicable means secretly; it’s another to brazenly claim Cecilia confessed to you."

Thomas Shannon withdrew his extended hand, leisurely leaning back in the chair, "But the whole world knows she confessed to me, don’t they?"

"Despicable!" Lucifer slammed a fist onto the tabletop, the cup and saucer making a loud noise.

This person has indeed reached a level of shamelessness; everyone knows the truth, yet he acts so fearless.

Such a person is truly contemptible!

"May I ask who you are to Cecilia?" Liam voiced the question that lingered in his heart.

Thomas Shannon tapped the tabletop lightly with one hand, this question was well asked, "I am Cecilia’s husband."

"Shameless!" Lucifer stood up abruptly, "Thomas Shannon, you really have no shame!"

Thomas Shannon chuckled lightly, "Now isn’t the time to talk about this; we all came here with one purpose."

And that is to resolve the public~opinion~incident.

Lucifer strained to control his rage, restraining himself just enough not to fight on the spot.

He gradually sat down, letting out a cold snort, crossing his arms and looking at him with cold eyes to see how shameless he could get.

"Husband?" Liam narrowed his eyes slightly, murmuring those two words.

It seemed both unfamiliar and fleeting.

"What’s the matter, Young Master Liam, do you have any questions? Feel free to ask, I can provide answers."

Charlie River slightly turned his face aside, Young Master, enough already!

Don’t overstep, focus on what matters!

"If I remember correctly, I am Cecilia’s fiancé, so from where did this husband come from?" Liam hadn’t forgotten that Cecilia had just dissolved their engagement a few days ago.

Respecting her wishes, Liam accepted it.

And this husband, when did that happen?

"To be honest, Cecilia and I got married during your engagement period. This matter is my fault; I apologize to you, and I’m willing to offer compensation." Thomas Shannon wore the look of a businessman negotiating, intending to solve everything with money.

However, Liam only shook his head with a light smile, "I don’t need your compensation. I want to talk to Cecilia."

"Sorry, she’s pregnant now, and it’s not suitable for her to see guests."

The mention of guests, the distance was clear.

Liam nodded faintly, his distinguished face showing no superfluous expressions.

"Young Master Liam, this incident is my doing, Cecilia was merely sulking at me; given the consequences of this matter, in principle, I should be the one to resolve it. However... the people of Country F have high expectations of you as a couple, and I’m afraid only you stepping up can mitigate the impact."

Lucifer sneered from the side, "All you need to do is come forward, say that you forced Cecilia to be with you and manipulated her into marriage, and I believe the empathetic people of Country F will forgive Cecilia and sympathize with her plight."

Clearly having orchestrated everything from the shadows, now he’s pushing Liam out to clean up the mess.

He’s truly something!

Thomas Shannon merely curled his lips in a smile, ignoring Lucifer’s provocation, his cold eyes focused on Liam, "Young Master Liam, what do you think?"
