Villains Act Shamelessly: The Heiress was the Great National Master!-Chapter 271: An Incident Occurs
After the amusement park date with Landon Ford, he returned Thea Shaw to the Sutton Family home that evening.
He himself returned to the company first.
Thea Shaw, upon reaching home, noticed a figure, and her expression became slightly nuanced. 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂
Monica Cole was seated on the sofa at home.
Mrs. Sutton was chatting with Monica Cole, and upon seeing Thea Shaw’s return, immediately signaled to her.
Thea Shaw, with her acting skills, brightened her expression and beamed: "Monica’s here too?"
Monica gave a shy, bashful smile and nodded: "Yes, hello, Thea."
"Did you have fun outside today?"
Mrs. Sutton asked Thea Shaw with a smile, to which she nodded and said, "Not bad, I’ll head to my room to take a shower. It was hot and tiring playing all day."
"Alright then."
Thea Shaw returned to her room, suspecting that the Sutton Family had probably agreed to something earlier, hence Monica was allowed to come over tonight.
However, Mr. Sutton would likely not let Monica stay at the Sutton home.
She thought about this and, after showering, went downstairs to take a look.
Mrs. Sutton had already arranged a room for Monica, and as she was no longer in the living room, she saw Thea Shaw and immediately called her over to explain quietly: "Your dad agreed with her dad earlier; she’s just staying over for the night since she had nowhere else to go. Your dad’s already arranged a place for her, and she’ll be settled tomorrow. She won’t stay at the house."
Mrs. Sutton feared that Thea Shaw would misunderstand.
Thea Shaw nodded, her expression still stern: "Better not."
Ever since Thea Shaw stepped into the role of a psychic advisor, Mrs. Sutton regarded her much more highly. Now seeing that Thea Shaw had rare opinions about Monica, she agreed with Thea’s sentiments while also wondering what exactly was wrong with Monica.
When she chatted with that girl, she really couldn’t tell at all.
But precisely because she couldn’t detect anything, remembering Thea Shaw’s words, Mrs. Sutton felt an even deeper chill in her heart.
If Lorraine York really was pushed down the stairs because Monica had intentionally fallen, then that girl’s cunning was indeed extraordinary.
If something had happened to her after the fall, she might not have survived. How could she be so daring?
What on earth was she gambling on?
But these things couldn’t be discussed with Thea Shaw at this moment because Monica soon came back downstairs.
Thea Shaw didn’t want to get involved in this matter, confident the Sutton Family would handle it. After a brief chat with Mrs. Sutton, she headed upstairs.
In a half-asleep state, an indistinct heaviness lingered in Thea Shaw’s heart, but she remained too drowsy to rise.
It wasn’t until early the next morning that she woke up to find Monica sitting in the living room having breakfast, while Mr. and Mrs. Sutton were nowhere to be seen.
She checked the time, pondering why the two hadn’t appeared yet?
That couldn’t be right.
Monica smiled shyly at Thea Shaw: "Good morning, Thea."
Thea Shaw also smiled: "Morning."
Even if she didn’t like someone, those with their level of skill wouldn’t show it.
Not seeing Mrs. Sutton, she asked, "My parents haven’t woken up yet?"
"I don’t know."
Monica sipped her porridge in small sips, softly saying, "Aunt took a phone call and left early, and I haven’t seen Uncle."
Thea Shaw felt a bit puzzled and also had a sense of foreboding. She contemplated briefly and called Mrs. Sutton.
The phone rang for a considerable time before it connected, and she heard Mrs. Sutton’s somewhat weary voice: "Thea?"
Thea Shaw asked, "Mom, where did you go so early in the morning?"
Listening to the background on her side, it seemed a bit noisy.
