Villains Act Shamelessly: The Heiress was the Great National Master!-Chapter 13: Landon Requests to Add You as a Friend
Thea Shaw had mastered this skill.
For example, she could see that Mr. and Mrs. Sutton had a prosperous fortune throughout their lives and were naturally good at making money.
The children’s line and the safety line were robust, proving their life was smooth and harmonious.
But the Great National Master only knew how to read the basic life lines, whereas trivial matters like whether one might be hit on the head by bird droppings tomorrow were beyond him.
For a moment, Thea contemplated whether to use this skill to swindle—ah no, to make money!
Modern society doesn’t promote superstitions, but in fact, the wealthier people are, the more they believe in these things. The arrangement of items in Mr. and Mrs. Sutton’s home was meticulous and clearly vetted by a professional, with nothing amiss.
She could indeed predict accurately, but she also knew the wisdom that talking too much leads to mistakes, so she had to proceed cautiously.
While pondering this matter, an incident that held the Sutton Family in suspense occurred upon her return home.
Aurora Sutton had come back.
A girl in a white chic dress with long hair sat elegantly on the sofa in the living room. Though poised, there was an uncharacteristic hint of awkwardness about her.
When she saw people arriving, she stood up and called out, "Dad, Mom."
Seeing Zia Sutton and Thea Shaw, she hesitated for a moment and then continued, "Zia, Thea, good evening."
Her politeness was expected.
Honestly speaking, Aurora Sutton was still quite attractive. The noble environment in which she was raised cultivated an elegant demeanor. She was currently attending an elite university and planning to pursue a doctoral degree at a prestigious foreign university next year—her excellence was self-evident. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞
A perfect wealthy heiress.
If it weren’t for the incident with Thea Shaw.
Mr. and Mrs. Sutton, having cared for her for twenty years, were naturally close to her. They were about to smile and greet her, but then seemed to remember something, turning to glance at Thea.
Thea simply nodded and greeted naturally, "Good evening."
Aurora studied Thea briefly, sensing something strange.
She had met Thea once yesterday; Thea’s evident hostility made Aurora a bit uneasy, so she thought it best to avoid her. She understood that her parents couldn’t truly abandon her, and after occupying someone else’s life for twenty years, she felt it was right to concede.
She considered leaving the Sutton Family for a while if Thea truly couldn’t accept her.
Tonight, knowing they had returned from a banquet, she planned to discuss this matter with her parents.
Unexpectedly, upon meeting Thea tonight, she found Thea devoid of the previous aggression, appearing even calm.
She was stunningly beautiful today, the kind of beauty that would even earn a compliment from someone as well-versed as Aurora.
While she knew Thea was attractive, tonight she was on another level, her aura making it impossible for anyone to look away.
Like the most dazzling swan, possessing an exceedingly rare ethereal quality.
Perhaps yesterday, due to Thea’s recent return and lack of careful observation, today Aurora paused, her first thought being, unsurprisingly, it was the genes inherited from their parents.
Seeing no tension between the two, Mr. and Mrs. Sutton finally relaxed. Mrs. Sutton walked towards Aurora, smiling, "What brings you back today?"
The matter Aurora had wanted to mention lingered in her throat before she swallowed it back, and she smiled, "Was the banquet enjoyable?"
Usually, she would affectionately link arms with Mrs. Sutton and act coy, but with Thea present, she instinctively refrained.
Mrs. Sutton replied with a smile, "Yes, it was quite nice."
At that moment, Thea’s phone vibrated. She glanced down to see a notification on WeChat.
[Landon] requests to add you as a friend. Note: Must take responsibility.
Thea: "..."
