Villains Act Shamelessly: The Heiress was the Great National Master!-Chapter 173: Staying Too Long Is Bad for the Child
Julia Wyatt now vaguely sensed Thea Shaw’s temperament.
And finally realized the girl was speaking ill of someone.
She must be quite displeased with Clara Tate.
Thinking of this, Julia Wyatt kept silent.
She sat back down with the child in her arms, her attitude becoming clear.
She also wanted to see what choice Clara Tate would make.
Thea Shaw, seeing her plan succeed, didn’t say a word, waiting for the police investigation information while playing with Bambi.
Bambi, after all, was young and couldn’t understand much, even though she was scared after being locked in a small dark room just now. Seeing her mother and others around her, she immediately relaxed.
Entertained by Thea Shaw, she soon revealed a happy ’giggle’ smile.
Thea Shaw also received a call from Secretary Miller.
His child was relatively unlucky, having been confined for quite a while, and was now psychologically fragile, directly taken to the hospital. Secretary Miller and others were at the hospital and called to express their deep gratitude to Thea Shaw.
In the morning, he had told the police about the water situation but couldn’t explain clearly how he got the information.
As a result, the child was found in a place related to the drainage system.
He heard that there was another child abducted along with his own, but there was no information about Thea Shaw.
Now the police were busy dealing with the kidnapper case and didn’t have time to dwell on this. Secretary Miller, of course, was knowledgeable enough to express his thanks to Thea Shaw.
Thea Shaw thought for a moment, ’uh,’ and said, "Just give what you think is right."
She didn’t mind receiving a thank-you gift for helping out, especially since she usually charged for fortune-telling anyway.
Secretary Miller might have gotten some information from somewhere, eventually transferring one million into Thea Shaw’s account.
It seems this would be her industry’s pricing from now on.
After a while, an unexpected guest arrived at the police station.
The person appeared to be elegant and aloof, upright like a pine and bamboo, as jade-like.
But unfortunately...
This person was Clara Tate.
After all, he was an award-winning actor. When he entered, he exuded a strong presence, capturing the attention of almost the entire police station.
Clara Tate also noticed Julia Wyatt and Bambi sitting in the innermost seat. As he approached, his always aloof face showed little expression as he called, "Mom, Julia."
Upon seeing Bambi, a trace of a smile appeared: "Bambi, come to Daddy."
According to a typical storyline, Bambi would definitely run joyfully into her father’s arms.
However, Bambi just stood there, holding onto Thea Shaw’s leg, looking at Clara Tate with a somewhat unfamiliar and hesitant gaze.
She hadn’t seen Clara Tate for too long. Even though her mother would teach her to recognize Clara Tate’s photos in magazines and occasional video calls, a small seed was still planted in young Bambi’s heart.
Why could other people’s dads be with them, but her dad couldn’t?
She had gotten used to days without a dad around, and now that her real dad appeared in front of her, her first reaction was resistance and avoidance.
Clara Tate, seeing Bambi’s gaze, felt a tremor in his heart. For the first time, he felt that he was indeed a failure as a father.
Realizing something was wrong now, everyone in the police station was looking at him with a kind of subtle reproach. Being part of the entertainment industry, he was extremely sensitive to people’s expressions and could instantly perceive that these people didn’t seem surprised by his award-winning actor status.
Clara Tate looked a bit uncomfortably at Julia Wyatt, recalling her hysteria over the phone earlier. His tone softened for once: "Julia, let’s take the child home first, staying here too long isn’t good for the kid."
