Villains Act Shamelessly: The Heiress was the Great National Master!-Chapter 283: Child of Destiny

"Can this be the same thing?"

Florence Locke felt that maintaining a composed image in front of her apprentice was necessary.

She lowered her face, exuding an aura of authority without anger: "Leave first, or don’t come to see me again!"

Julian Sinclair wasn’t too pleased upon hearing this. 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

His face visibly darkened.

But there was no choice, he could only glare harshly at Florence Locke, then reluctantly got up and left.

Once he was gone, Florence Locke breathed a sigh of relief, soothing her own chest.

She felt that continuing like this was not sustainable, but having kept things ambiguous with Julian Sinclair for so long, she was somewhat reluctant to toughen her heart and drive him away.

After decades of purity and desirelessness, she hadn’t expected that upon coming to this world, her chastity could not be preserved.

Even so, she couldn’t reveal this side of herself in front of her apprentice.

Otherwise, how could her apprentice look at her in the future!

Not long after Julian Sinclair left, Thea Shaw arrived.

This time, she didn’t encounter Julian Sinclair on the way.

Upon arriving at Florence Locke’s residence, Thea Shaw looked around left and right, making Florence Locke rather uncomfortable: "What are you looking for?"

"That little wolf didn’t come this time?"

Thea Shaw asked naturally, and Florence Locke coughed: "What nonsense are you spouting?"

"Tch."

Thea Shaw thought of what she had stumbled upon last time and did not expose Florence Locke this time.

She walked over, sat on the sofa, and said to Florence Locke, "Master, I’ve come to see you because I might have met someone similar to Evelyn Payne."

"Evelyn Payne?"

Florence Locke was a bit surprised: "How so?"

"I am currently just suspicious and cannot be certain."

"People like Evelyn Payne are rare."

Florence Locke sat down and asked her, "Do you have a photo?"

"Yes."

Thea Shaw took out a photo of Iris Knight.

The reason she was suspicious was solely due to suspicion.

But Evelyn Payne was a remarkable figure in Qirenia.

Evelyn Payne was a man.

In today’s society, he would actually be in the same position as Iris Knight.

He always had a magical ability to make aristocratic women go crazy for him, willing to risk public outcry, and share Evelyn Payne willingly with other women.

Thea Shaw had seen him before, and he was indeed a very charming man, with people around him madly infatuated, but Thea Shaw felt nothing special.

Evelyn Payne was from a neighboring country to Qirenia, and in that world, it was a matriarchal society, so there were not many differences between countries.

Later, a war broke out in Evelyn Payne’s country, and he astonishingly, as a captive of an enemy country, won over the heart of another nation’s Empress and became the Imperial Consort, having affairs with many women.

You must know, that was in the strictly regulated ancient times, translating it to today’s male-dominated society, it’s akin to the current Empress having affairs with courtiers other than the sovereign, can you imagine the level of shock that would bring?

This is something very few people knew, the key point was even Qirenia’s Empress had once been tempted.

Qirenia was the strongest among several countries, mainly because of the presence of the Great National Master.

When the Empress came to discuss this with Florence Locke, Florence Locke had said at the time: "This man is not one you can touch."

Florence Locke had once explained to them that people like this, unlike those with great fortune, were true sons of fortune, no matter how absurd or outrageous the things they did, they could always transform them into a reasonable and natural existence.

In the end, they would ascend to the peak of their own lives.
