"I said there isn't any, so there isn't any. Stop asking."
Sophie Sullivan didn't want to say more, even if Thomas Shannon continued to ask, he wouldn't get a clear answer from her.
If she didn't want to speak, then so be it; Thomas Shannon could just send someone to investigate.
It would just take some more time.
......
James Shannon and Mrs. Shannon returned to the Imperial City, and Your Excellency Mr. President sent an invitation letter, inviting them to dinner tonight.
James Shannon and Mrs. Shannon went to the banquet, and inside the spacious restaurant, only Thomas Shannon and Sophie Sullivan were left dining.
Without the parents around, Sophie felt much more at ease.
She rested her chin on her hand, unsure if it was due to her worries or a poor appetite, but she looked lethargic.
She ate with little interest, and seeing her lack of appetite, Thomas Shannon focused on feeding her.
"Do you want some shrimp?"
Sophie nodded, "Yes."
