Villains Act Shamelessly: The Heiress was the Great National Master!-Chapter 24: Fear
Hearing this voice almost stirred Levi Blair’s deepest fears from his soul.
His legs began to tremble uncontrollably.
His mother wasn’t much better off, with wide eyes, staring intently at the figure that walked in from outside the door.
Landon Ford!
The Ford Family heir, the notorious madman, the stumbling block that kept her from entering the Ford Family!
Mr. and Mrs. Sutton were even more bewildered.
They had some business dealings with the Ford Family, and since they were among the new aristocracy in Aethelgard, the Ford Family might extend an invitation as a courtesy.
In reality, there was no personal relationship.
How could Landon Ford, the celebrated heir, possibly visit the Sutton Family?
"So it’s Landon. No need to apologize for the visit; our Sutton Family always welcomes you."
Mr. Sutton reacted quickly, showing no sign of cowardice, and welcomed Landon Ford.
His eyes discreetly glanced at the Blair mother and son.
As expected, Laney Blair and Levi Blair looked completely stunned.
Although Mr. Sutton had some doubts about Landon Ford, the heir with the infamous temper, he found him far more agreeable than the Blair mother and son.
Landon Ford stepped into the house, glanced around lightly, and did not see the person he was looking for.
He felt relieved about that.
Levi Blair sat beside, trembling with fear, his head down, his whole body chilled, not even daring to greet him.
He shared a half-brother title with Landon Ford, but there was a world of difference between him and the other, not even qualified to call him brother.
The latter was the sole heir, and when it came to brotherly relations, Landon’s brothers were numerous.
Levi was just one of Warren Ford’s more favored sons.
If anyone saw him in this state, they’d be shocked.
The usually arrogant Young Master Levi in Aethelgard had such a cowardly moment.
Landon Ford didn’t even acknowledge the Blair mother and son, a smile of indiscernible meaning appearing on his features, "It’s my first visit, and I’ve come suddenly, so I brought a small gift for Auntie Sutton and hope you’ll accept it."
Mrs. Sutton glanced awkwardly at Mr. Sutton.
Mr. Sutton sighed slightly, nodded, and signaled for her to accept it.
Mrs. Sutton knew the background of the person in front of her. She never thought that her family would have any entanglement with a family like the Fords, especially with this heir before her.
It’s said that he has a bad temper, and even Aurora has mentioned that the Ford’s heir has a notoriously bad reputation, with stories of his "legendary feats" still circulating around her school.
The small gift was a brocade box, which Mrs. Sutton took with a burning curiosity, and had no choice but to open it and take a look, immediately feeling alarmed.
She had seen many good things, but inside was an emerald bracelet.
Translucent and verdant, with superb luster, just a glance could tell its worth was immeasurable.
It was more precious than the most expensive million-dollar bracelet Mrs. Sutton owned.
She felt a sense of dread, though she managed to maintain a calm exterior.
It suddenly occurred to her that Levi Blair was after her daughter, Thea Shaw, but what about this Ford heir?
Could it be the same?
Laney Blair saw the bracelet, and her expression turned extremely unpleasant.
She didn’t regard the Sutton Family highly, which is why she brought nothing with her on her visit.
The Suttons dared not find fault, yet now with Landon Ford’s comparison...
Such a quality jade, even Warren Ford had never given her such a treasure!
Landon Ford, the heir, casually gives away something of inestimable value.
Laney Blair lowered her eyes, a trace of unwillingness flashing in her gaze.
She had long wanted to enter a family as powerful as the Fords, but Warren Ford made it clear that as long as Landon Ford was there, he would never agree to let her in.
