Villains Act Shamelessly: The Heiress was the Great National Master!-Chapter 135: Those Wicked Rich People

The roar of the sports car was particularly loud on the street.

Thea Shaw came out wearing only pajamas. She had her phone with her, but just as she fished it out to play, a cold voice reached her ear: "You came out with me just to look at your phone?"

Thea quietly put her phone back in her pocket: "There’s such a long way to go, what else am I supposed to look at if not my phone?"

Landon Ford: "Can’t you just look at me?"

Thea: "..."

But I can’t keep looking at you for hours, can I?

So she tried her best to find a topic: "Haven’t you been quite busy lately?"

"Very busy." Landon wasn’t pleased: "That old man hasn’t been behaving lately, keeping me busy, so you’d better behave yourself too."

Thea was immediately annoyed: "How am I not behaving? Your words have a lot of implications, you know that? I’ve been cooped up at home all day, haven’t gone anywhere, how can you randomly blame me?"

"You’ve only been in Aethelgard for less than a month, and you’ve been to the police station twice." Landon sneered: "And you practice superstitions every day, almost causing chaos on the borders of legality."

"..." Thea felt Landon was just scaring her: "I’m a law-abiding citizen, don’t say nonsense!"

What’s wrong with superstitions? If someone believes in them, so what?

Thea explained seriously: "I wouldn’t call it superstition, I prefer to be called a diviner."

Landon continued: "Can a diviner predict they’d visit the police station twice in a month?"

Thea was growing defensive: "Can we talk about something else? Don’t you know when people are impulsive, they do irrational things, like maybe I’ll say the word ’breakup,’ but it’s not my fault, you’re driving me to it."

Landon chuckled: "Go ahead, say it, try me."

Thea: "..."

She wanted to try, but she wasn’t sure about Landon’s attitude.

Would saying it be a test or the end?

Thea chose to remain silent.

Seeing Thea was speechless from his retort, Landon thought perhaps he shouldn’t be like that.

Surely she felt quite wronged inside, so Landon asked: "Just bought a house?"

Mentioning the house, Thea got excited: "Yeah, bought it today."

But there were still formalities to handle, plus renovations and such. Thea planned to get it all done before telling her parents as a surprise.

It would all be settled in a few months.

There was even a hint of admiration in Landon’s tone: "You’ve earned so much already, impressive."

Landon calculated based on his real estate holdings, starting at a minimum of a hundred million, thinking Thea had amassed such a fortune in just a month.

He had a newfound perception of those involved in superstitions.

Even with her thick skin, Thea had to be honest: "Earned 10 million, the rest came from the Sutton Family, 20 million."

"Hmm?"

Landon frowned, "A 30 million house? Where did you buy it, outside the eighteenth ring?"

Thea: "..."

Wow, this world really treats people differently; a 30 million house is a mansion in her eyes.

But in Landon’s eyes, it’s actually that cheap?

"Where in Aethelgard would have an eighteenth ring! A 30 million house is already very expensive, okay?" Thea resisted the urge to curse and sincerely suggested: "Sometimes, sir, you should come down to the mortal world, experience some of life’s hardships."

If 30 million is cheap, and if he knew about small places selling properties for 300,000, would he suspect those are for pets?

Ah, the wicked rich.
