Villains Act Shamelessly: The Heiress was the Great National Master!-Chapter 234: Borrowing a Friend’s Car

Of course, leaving and handling everything in the house all at once is unrealistic.

Mr. Shaw decided to move first; the remaining things could be dealt with during his periodic returns.

With his wife’s poor health, he feared that causing a fuss might aggravate her condition.

Her temperament used to be quite fiery, which Chloe Shaw inherited. If not for the accident, she might have had a clash with Aunt Chase.

Chloe booked plane tickets for them. Thea Shaw realized it would be quite late when they arrived in Aethelgard, so she planned to ask the Sutton Family’s driver to pick them up.

But Chloe said, "It’s too late to bother the Suttons. I have a friend with a car; I’ll borrow his car tonight."

Thea thought it over and agreed, "But can you drive?"

Chloe finally laughed, "Of course I can; I’ve had a license for ages. I often drive the company’s cars, and sometimes I have to pick up and drop off my boss during trips."

"Okay, I’ll go with you tonight. By the way, I’ve got some good news to share." Thea originally planned to surprise them once the new house was ready, but seeing Chloe so upset, she decided to share the news to cheer her up.

Chloe blinked, "What’s the news?"

Thea took out her phone and showed a photo of the property deed, "I bought a house! It’s a big apartment, the development is ready, just not fully decorated yet. I planned to surprise you guys once it was finished."

Chloe was stunned when she saw the address and price of the property, "Where did you get so much money? Did the Suttons give it to you?"

That’s the only thing she could think of, not knowing that Thea had already earned millions just from fortune-telling.

Thea honestly replied, "I earned part of it myself, and the Suttons supported me with some."

Chloe was silent for a moment before asking, "You keep saying you earn money, what exactly do you do? Aren’t you supposed to still be in school? I remember you said you’re in classes every day."

Thea candidly explained her work, "I’m in the business of feudal superstitions. It’s in the starting phase, and the followers in the industry are few, but it will expand, and I’ll earn more and more."

Chloe: "..."

It took her a while to digest this information, struggling to comprehend, "You’re... preaching? Isn’t that illegal in our country?"

Thea thought carefully, "Seems kind of similar, but I’m not breaking the law."

Just dancing around the edges.

Chloe: "..."

She probably couldn’t come up with anything for a while. Eventually, she thought that since the Suttons didn’t mind, it wasn’t her place to worry about Thea’s affairs, probably assuming Thea was joking.

Chloe shifted the topic, praising Thea’s house purchase, "Are you planning to let Mom and Dad live in it?"

"It’s for us, but since you’re working here now, this will be our house in Aethelgard. You can sleep there whenever you don’t work and visit the city for fun."

Chloe felt touched by the phrase ’our house.’ She knew Thea had returned to the Suttons, but they hadn’t cut ties with her, which was good.

"Then I’ll call my friend to borrow the car."

Chloe went to make a call. Initially, Thea wasn’t particularly interested in this ’friend’ Chloe mentioned casually, until she overheard Chloe’s surprised voice, "You’re coming to drive us? That’s really kind, but aren’t you going out tonight?"
