Villains Act Shamelessly: The Heiress was the Great National Master!-Chapter 223: Two Unexpected People
After blow-drying her hair, Landon Ford asked her, "Where do you want to go play?"
With this amount of time, they could only wander around Aethelgard.
Where should a couple go on a date?
Nothing more than those few places, but Thea Shaw chose a particularly unconventional one.
An adventure in a haunted house.
Of course, it was one of those commercial activities, very thrilling.
Landon Ford had no preference about where to go, so he casually picked an adventure haunted house in the city center, bought tickets, and took Thea Shaw there.
Today, Landon Ford didn’t flaunt by driving a sports car through the streets, but the low-key business car he was driving now, judging by the logo, even Thea’s limited knowledge knew it must be an expensive model.
She didn’t ask Landon Ford what kind of car it was or how much it cost.
Asking would only make the rich stimulate the poor.
Thea Shaw also informed Mrs. Sutton about returning home a bit later today. Recently, she hadn’t liked reporting her outings too much, which resulted in Mrs. Sutton having words with her.
Aurora Sutton and Zia Sutton were the type who occasionally returned from school without their mother worrying.
Thea Shaw, being the only one at home, became their main concern.
Mrs. Sutton clearly knew who Thea Shaw was currently with, and only replied with a "good".
The haunted house was scary enough during the day, but even scarier at night, probably because it was a weekday, there weren’t many people.
The adventure haunted house required solving puzzles based on the haunted house’s storyline, while being "attacked" by staff disguised as ghosts — a very terrifying experience. As they went inside, they occasionally heard other visitors’ screams.
To Landon Ford’s disappointment, Thea Shaw didn’t seem afraid at all when she chose the haunted house.
She even walked around with her hands behind her back, casually greeting the staff hiding in the corners, leaving no room for fun.
Of course, Landon Ford wasn’t afraid either; the two of them strolled around like they were in a market, leaving the staff monitoring them in disbelief.
After an adventure that ended up rather dull, Thea Shaw remarked, "It was just okay."
Landon Ford: "..."
He realized he might need to update his understanding of Thea Shaw.
A girl who lacked even basic fear.
Perhaps it was destiny, but after Thea Shaw and Landon Ford finished and went back to the haunted house lobby, they unexpectedly ran into two people.
Or rather, two people Thea Shaw never expected to connect with.
Iris Knight and Colin Cole.
The same guy recently caught in photos checking into a hotel with a rich woman, suspected to be framed by Aurora Sutton, who people thought was that crazy guy.
Even Thea Shaw was a bit shocked at first sight.
The two walked over, chatting and laughing, with Iris Knight unusually smiling gently, like a naturally sweet couple. Especially Colin Cole’s gaze towards Iris Knight was filled with unmistakable tenderness and affection, perfect for a romantic drama.
When they encountered Thea Shaw and Landon Ford, they both stopped in surprise.
Iris Knight never thought she’d meet Thea Shaw in such a place, and Colin Cole especially didn’t expect it.
One was astonished, and the other’s face suddenly became rather awkward.
Thea Shaw and Iris Knight had at least met twice and even watched a movie together, so ignoring her now would seem impolite. Thea Shaw nodded at Iris Knight as a greeting.
Iris Knight nodded back.
Landon Ford, looking uninterested in everyone, merely glanced at Iris Knight before looking away. As soon as Thea Shaw and Iris Knight stopped to exchange greetings, he took Thea Shaw’s hand and walked away.
