Villains Act Shamelessly: The Heiress was the Great National Master!-Chapter 289: Complete Scoundrel

Thea Shaw didn’t give a clear explanation; she just suggested Jared Blair call the police, which was nothing like the other profound masters he had encountered before.

She didn’t take any money, which left Jared Blair a bit displeased, and he stormed off in the end.

Theodore Howard felt something was off. In the past, Thea Shaw clearly warned him to avoid the gathering. Even if this incident was a prank, shouldn’t Thea be able to tell if there would be any real trouble?

Why didn’t she say anything?

He sent Jared Blair away first, and Jared didn’t look pleased: "So young, are you sure she’s really a master?"

She was indeed quite pretty, but unfortunately...

"I’m sure."

Theodore Howard had unwavering faith in Thea Shaw’s abilities. He thought for a moment, "Perhaps suggesting you call the police was her intention. Maybe once you report it, it will resolve itself. Receiving a threatening letter should certainly be reported to the police."

"If I could handle it by calling the police, why would I need a fortune teller?"

Jared Blair scoffed, "Forget it, I’ll go to people from The Aetherium Sect to have this matter calculated."

Theodore Howard said nothing.

Once Jared Blair left, he thought something was wrong and returned to Thea Shaw.

"Thea, why didn’t you take this business?"

If Thea Shaw didn’t take the money, it meant she wasn’t doing business.

A servant brought in a plate of washed grapes for Thea Shaw. She was happily eating them one by one and wasn’t surprised when Theodore returned. She smiled and said, "Uncle, as a person, one must have principles. Why should I save someone who deserves what they get? I’m afraid of getting struck by lightning."

Theodore Howard’s expression changed: "What do you mean by ’deserves what he gets’?"

"You reap what you sow. Anyway, I don’t think he’s being extorted; he’s likely being retaliated against."

Judging by his appearance, he seemed like a complete scumbag.

But people can be very good at disguising themselves, something Theodore couldn’t understand: "Impossible, I know this brother well. We grew up together, and over the years, we’ve kept in touch sporadically. I absolutely trust his character. What could he have done that would threaten his life?"

Thea Shaw replied, "Uncle Howard, did you really grow up with him, staying by his side 24 hours a day? If he truly deserves what he gets, then whatever he did would be indefensible, and he certainly wouldn’t tell you. You can tell him what I said; it doesn’t matter to me. I can clearly tell you, he can’t escape; he’ll either end up in prison or be dealt with directly by someone else."

Theodore Howard was left speechless, not knowing how to respond for a moment.

Jared Blair’s relationship with him was indeed special; otherwise, he wouldn’t have brought him to Thea Shaw.

But such shocking news, casually spoken by Thea Shaw, left Theodore understandably stunned.

If he’s going to jail, he must have done something wrong...

And if it involves someone’s revenge, then what exactly did he do?

Theodore Howard’s expression was undefined, and before he left, he said, "I’ll pretend not to know about today’s events."

Telling Jared Blair?

That’s impossible.

Theodore Howard is a businessman who understands the balance of advantages and disadvantages. Not to mention the lack of evidence, simply the fact that Thea Shaw said Jared Blair had committed a crime, if it were true, what would Jared think of Thea Shaw?

Yet it was hard for Theodore Howard to believe his brother was such a person. With a furrowed brow, he left the Sutton Family, deciding to investigate the matter.

After Theodore Howard left, Thea Shaw wore a contemplative expression.
