Villains Act Shamelessly: The Heiress was the Great National Master!-Chapter 153: Predicting When We’ll Get Married

"Thea Shaw, is it?"

Old Mr. Ford knew of Thea Shaw.

She had appeared at the last Ford family banquet, and he had heard reports about the Sutton family’s matters.

Moreover, a few days ago, Landon Ford mentioned he would bring someone over, and Old Mr. Ford had already investigated Thea Shaw’s background.

Old Mr. Ford gave Thea a thorough look and was obviously satisfied: "Good, my grandson has great taste! She looks like someone blessed with good fortune."

Indeed, Thea couldn’t help but admit that she was fortunate to have found Landon Ford.

Old Mr. Ford beckoned, and the assistant beside him immediately took a red envelope out of a bag, handing it directly to Thea with respect: "Miss Shaw, this is a meeting gift red envelope from our Mr. Ford for you."

"Ah?!" Thea was a bit embarrassed, "Grandpa Ford, how can I accept this? I didn’t even bring a gift when I came to see you. It’s embarrassing to accept your meeting gift."

"Oh." Old Mr. Ford waved his hand, looking at Thea with much comfort: "My grandson bringing you to see me is the best gift. This little meeting gift is just a token of good cheer, not much at all."

Landon Ford lazily lifted his chin: "No problem, take it, it’s just a gesture."

Thea could only silently accept the red envelope.

Feeling it, there was another hard card inside.

The way of wealthy people.

Thea greatly appreciated this generosity.

Next were the usual greetings. Old Mr. Ford asked Thea briefly about her situation; of course, he did not mention the Sutton family matters, maintaining good boundaries.

Although, for Thea, it wasn’t something that couldn’t be mentioned.

Landon Ford pushed Old Mr. Ford into the room, standing aside with a smile watching them chat, occasionally chiming in.

Old Mr. Ford liked Thea very much, naturally saving Landon from having to say good things on her behalf.

However, Old Mr. Ford didn’t talk with Thea for too long; his health seemed not very good, and he needed to rest after a while.

Landon Ford then took Thea to leave.

On the way, Landon Ford asked Thea, "Can you tell how much longer my grandpa can live?" 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖

Thea shook her head, "To be honest, I can’t."

Old Mr. Ford was a person with great fortune; although he’s aged now, and his fortune nearly consumed, like Landon Ford, others couldn’t see his fate.

Maybe he could live for a few more years, or maybe his end is near.

These things can’t be determined.

Landon Ford glanced at Thea, "Do people really believe you when you tell their fortune?"

"..." Thea was a bit offended, "That’s not the same, okay!"

She earnestly explained to Landon the difference for those who possess great fortune.

It’s about how their fates intertwine with too many people, like how Ford Enterprises is a powerful family affecting many people’s destinies.

For such a person, leading to substantial effects, you can’t just simply read their fortune.

Some people can thrive until the end, while others might fall halfway through.

People with great fortune bear the destiny, and everything remains unknown.

Including Thea herself, she couldn’t be seen through, otherwise, could she have predicted she’d get entangled with Landon Ford?

Landon Ford responded ambiguously, "Oh."

It was unclear whether he believed it or not.

Thea didn’t care if he believed it or not. She would say whatever she wanted, anything goes!

Landon Ford said, "But I can predict when we’ll get married."

Thea: "..."

This was too much, young man.
