Villains Act Shamelessly: The Heiress was the Great National Master!-Chapter 131: You’re Cutting Off Your Own Escape Route
Zia Sutton was indeed skeptical: "No way, right? I remember she not only studied basic courses but also took additional classes like painting and horse riding?"
Thea Shaw has a lot to learn.
Besides professional knowledge at school, there are etiquette courses essential for everyone in high society.
And basic skills for various recreational activities.
Zia Sutton and Aurora Sutton had taken classes from elementary school to adulthood, but for Thea Shaw to learn so many things at once and progress quickly was really unbelievable.
Mrs. Sutton was still proud that her daughter was smart, and she couldn’t help but smile: "I already asked the teacher, and they’re about to upgrade Thea’s courses. I can see her graduating faster than the two of you."
Faced with Zia Sutton and Aurora Sutton’s surprised expressions, Thea Shaw calmly said, "Because I’m smart."
Ever since she returned from the Women’s Respect Country, she’s been incredibly perceptive, progressing in her studies as if cheating, learning quickly and understanding rapidly.
Were it not for her ambitions in superstition, she would have aimed for a higher education degree just to show off.
Zia Sutton was momentarily speechless at Thea’s calm demeanor.
Seeing Zia was okay, Mrs. Sutton urged him to be discharged from the hospital.
However, she allowed him to recuperate at home for two days.
When Thea Shaw and her family were leaving the hospital, they surprisingly ran into Theodore.
He wasn’t at the hospital but at a company building next to it, and encountered them in the parking lot.
Mrs. Sutton saw Theodore and led Thea and the others to greet him.
Two men in suits accompanied Theodore, one looking older with a mature and steady demeanor.
The other was younger, with eyes full of pride; while Theodore greeted Thea and her family, the two men stood not far behind without joining the conversation.
Yet Thea Shaw oddly sensed a kind of — professional aura coming from the two. 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂
Theodore was quite happy to see Mrs. Sutton and her family, especially Thea Shaw.
After all, Thea Shaw was his lifesaver!
Where else could he find such a good person?
Despite Thea Shaw’s youth, Theodore held her in high regard and suddenly thought of something to discuss privately with Mrs. Sutton: "I have some things to say to Thea alone, is that okay?"
After the issues with the Old Mr. Kensington Family, Yvette Vaughn had already informed Mrs. Sutton about Thea’s fortune-telling for Theodore.
Mr. and Mrs. Sutton didn’t probe too deeply into such mystical matters but understood Theodore’s intentions; they nodded and took Zia and Aurora away first.
Thea Shaw, with a grin, asked Theodore: "Uncle Howard, do you have something to tell me?"
Theodore nodded, then discreetly pointed to the two men behind him: "Thea, do you know what those two do?"
Thea shook her head: "I don’t know."
She’s not a deity.
But their faces suggested they were wealthy and prominent, with no apparent difficulties, clearly indicating their significance.
Theodore saw her saying she didn’t know but clearly had some insight, so he continued: "Have you ever heard of The Aetherium Sect?"
"Huh?" Thea was a bit confused: "Why does that sound like it’s from a TV series?"
"..." Theodore subtly explained: "I just got involved with this recently, and while our society indeed has things science can’t fully explain, it’s not so fantastical. At least, in my view, it’s not as fantastical as you. But their sect has good relationships with many businessmen and is dedicated to feng shui consultation, at quite a hefty price."
Thea Shaw looked shocked: "Is the nation really not banning these feudal superstitions?"
Theodore: "..."
Are you trying to cut off your own path here?
