Villains Act Shamelessly: The Heiress was the Great National Master!-Chapter 273: They Weren’t the Ones Who Drugged Her

When Thea Shaw appeared in the hospital room, it was eerily silent.

Mr. Sutton turned his head and saw Thea, looking a bit surprised and slightly frowning: "Why are you here?"

He walked over: "It’s okay, Thea, I’ll handle this matter."

Thea didn’t move and asked, "What exactly happened?"

She leaned in to look at the bed.

On the bed was a man wrapped in bandages from head to toe, except for his face; his eyes widened upon seeing her.

This person was named Jeffrey Owen, and standing next to him were his parents, both dressed elegantly but wearing sullen expressions.

Moreover, the whole family exuded a menacing aura.

In any case, they looked like a tough group to deal with.

Mr. Sutton said nothing, but Jeffrey Owen’s mother spoke first, her voice sharp: "It doesn’t matter who talks about this, Justin, we’re all in the business world; your Sutton Family and our Owen Family have no ties, but isn’t that girl your future daughter-in-law? My son got beaten up like this, and if you insist, as parents, we naturally have to seek justice for our son."

"Seek justice, what justice?"

Thea heard this, looked at the woman, and smiled amicably: "Your son drugged someone and tried to assault them, committing a crime, and he still dares to be so arrogant?"

Mrs. Owen glared at Thea: "And who do you think you are?"

Thea crossed her arms: "You think just because your family has some influence, you can sweep this under the rug? Are you planning to compete with backing? Do you know Ford Enterprises?"

Mrs. Owen and Mr. Owen’s faces showed some surprise upon hearing her mention Ford Enterprises.

The name Ford Enterprises was very familiar to them.

"The heir to Ford Enterprises is my boyfriend. If you insist on seeking justice for your son, then I won’t hesitate to let my boyfriend help me seek justice too. Your son hit my brother; do you really think this is something that can be easily brushed off with a single sentence?"

Everyone: "..."

Mr. Sutton stood behind, dumbfounded by what Thea had just said.

He had never thought of using the Ford Family’s name for anything, and never anticipated Thea would pull such a bold move upon her arrival.

Mrs. Owen and Mr. Owen were both stunned, and Jeffrey Owen on the bed seemed to have realized something, his eyes turning doubtful: "The... Ford Family one is your boyfriend?"

They knew Ford Enterprises but had no status to mingle in that circle, and they weren’t aware of Landon Ford’s reputation. But thanks to the stunts by Levi Blair and other illegitimate children, everyone knew the Ford Family’s immense power; even the illegitimate sons and daughters of the Ford Family were not to be trifled with, let alone the sole heir?

They had heard bits and pieces of rumors.

But Jeffrey Owen never in a million years expected that the Thea Shaw in front of him was the girlfriend of the Ford Family’s heir.

In an instant, any initial romantic ideas he had upon first seeing Thea vanished completely, and cold sweat broke out instantly.

Seeing that Mr. and Mrs. Owen fell silent upon hearing the name Ford Enterprises, Thea smiled in satisfaction and gently asked Jeffrey Owen, who was covered in bandages, "Was it your doing, the drugging last night?"

Jeffrey Owen originally thought it was nothing more than a trivial matter, lying in bed, being drugged wasn’t that big a deal, the important thing was that he got beaten, which was a big deal.

But suddenly confronted with the girlfriend of the heir to Ford Enterprises, Jeffrey Owen knew that even if he had to face consequences, he had to admit it.

Still, he couldn’t help but waffle: "Last night, I was momentarily possessed, but it wasn’t me or my buddies who drugged her..."
