Villains Act Shamelessly: The Heiress was the Great National Master!-Chapter 10: She Experienced the Empress’s Joy
Seeing her stunned, Landon Ford withdrew his hand, his smile cold and thinly mocking: "What, touched someone and don’t want to take responsibility?"
Zia Sutton: ...
Landon Ford must be living in ancient times, right?
How can you be responsible just because someone touched you briefly?
Thea Shaw seemed a bit dumb too, taking ages to react.
She slowly calmed down, her Buddhist-like temperament more pronounced now, "I misspoke earlier."
His physique is nice, the touch felt good; she felt her stress disorder slowly easing.
Of course, what she meant was that she had no intention of being responsible.
The girl had an ethereal, pure aura, yet in Landon Ford’s eyes it was tinged with a bit of oddity.
The man laughed, his temperament naturally melancholic, his laughter carried a particularly dangerous flavor, fierce and perilous, Zia Sutton found it scary, no wonder people outside say he seems a bit crazy.
He genuinely feared Landon Ford might do something to Thea Shaw.
Thea Shaw was unfazed, she calmly looked at the man and added a touch of etherealness, speaking nastily: "Touching once doesn’t mean you need to be responsible, you shouldn’t take reputation that seriously."
Zia Sutton: ...
The Sutton Family, in danger.
Landon Ford’s smile became more apparent.
A deep laughter slipped out of his throat, yet it was clear it wasn’t a happy laugh.
His laughter was playful and dangerous: "How interesting."
Zia Sutton: ...
The Sutton Family, extremely in danger!!!!
He was wrong; he thought Thea Shaw was starting to accept the Sutton Family, but instead, Thea Shaw was digging a hole here.
The Sutton Family is considered new nobility in Aethelgard now, but in the eyes of the Ford Family, they’re nothing.
Offending Landon Ford, the most unpredictable heir.
Zia Sutton’s gaze froze, nearly in a daze, almost imagining the future fate of the Sutton Family.
"It’s about time."
Landon Ford, however, changed the topic, turned around and said: "The banquet is about to officially begin, you shouldn’t linger here too long."
Zia Sutton quickly came back to reality, decided to have one last struggle: "Alright, Landon, I’ll take my sister and leave right away."
Thea Shaw was all for it.
Seems like she said something she shouldn’t have earlier, what reputation does a man need!
Wrong, what reputation does a man have?
If this were in the Women’s Respect Country, a man with Landon Ford’s demeanor, no matter how dangerous, would be the Empress’s choice; she, the Great National Master, would stand above all but one. But this is modernity; Thea Shaw now knows who he is.
Landon Ford, the heir of the Ford Family.
Zia Sutton casually mentioned it once; she hadn’t heard of it before, but now upon seeing, her intuition tells her this man isn’t easy to provoke.
Better run when you can.
Zia Sutton quickly took him away, the cold eyes behind them like an awl on their back, neither Zia Sutton nor Thea Shaw looked back, yet while running Thea Shaw clarified to Zia Sutton once more: "I didn’t mean he had no reputation earlier—forget it, do I still have time to apologize now?"
Zia Sutton, on the verge of tears, like she’s about to cry out loud: "We’ll discuss this once we’re out of here."
Thea Shaw: "I feel like he seems understanding, I’ve met many people, my intuition never fails, trust me."
Zia Sutton: ...
Zia Sutton led Thea Shaw to the front yard of the Ford Family, looking utterly hopeless.
The people in the venue, seeing Thea Shaw appearing, all were somewhat astonished.
No wonder, her beauty draws attention wherever she goes, especially with Thea Shaw’s transcendent temperament.
"The Sutton Family’s daughter that just returned?"
"Seems like it, I heard she was fostered in the countryside for twenty years, truly pitiful." 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢
Hearing such remarks, Zia Sutton put aside earlier matters, somewhat nervously looking at Thea Shaw.
Thea Shaw was quite indifferent, immersed in the earlier incident, only now commenting: "He really has a nice physique."
Now she truly understands the Empress’s joy.
Zia Sutton: ...
The Sutton Family is done for.
