Villains Act Shamelessly: The Heiress was the Great National Master!-Chapter 31: Excuse

Yvette Vaughn is a high achiever who completely disbelieves in ghosts and gods.

But after marrying her husband, she’s seen some things within the circle—while not overly mysterious, there have been occurrences she’s unsure if science can explain.

Yvette is quite skeptical of these things and generally ignores them.

She only suggests her husband get a charm from the temple for habitual peace of mind.

Now, when a little fairy she met at night suddenly offered such advice, Yvette did not reject it aggressively; she was just a bit puzzled: "Thea, did you learn about this? Fortune-telling?"

"Kind of." Thea Shaw wasn’t sure how to explain and just came up with a reason: "I learned some things from an old man in our rural hometown, and I can read faces."

Yvette asked, "You haven’t even seen my uncle, how can you figure it out?"

Thea said, "... I don’t need to see your uncle; by reading your face, I can guess a thing or two."

That was the truth.

Something significant happened to Yvette’s husband, which ended up affecting her directly.

If this thing happens, Yvette’s fortune for the latter half of her life will disappear entirely, showing signs of an early demise.

It indirectly indicates that this issue is quite serious.

"Is that so?"

Yvette was skeptical, practically thinking it was just a child speaking casually.

But she did not confront Thea directly, just saying, "Okay, I’ll remember that, sweetie."

Thea, of course, understood that Yvette was just brushing her off.

In Thea’s eyes, Yvette not directly calling her crazy was already a great show of high quality.

——Even if you’re sick, you can’t say it to someone’s face, right?

Not believing it is one thing, Thea didn’t expect Yvette to believe her anyway.

Before it happens, everyone would have doubts, which is normal.

The difference lies in whether Yvette’s husband can avoid it or not.

Thea didn’t tell the Sutton Family’s parents about this, and naturally, Yvette wouldn’t mention it either.

It was just that when at night, her husband Theodore Howard came home exhausted, Yvette looked at him with some heartache and some doubt asked: "Is your company this busy lately?"

"Very busy, just some little troubles. Today a subordinate at the company got the important data in a report wrong. Such a big mistake, and we only found out before the meeting. Now the whole company has to work overtime for this data. I have to leave early tomorrow morning."

Theodore generally doesn’t mention company matters at home, but he’s too busy to keep it under wraps now.

He felt like everything was going wrong, and the likelihood of mistakes by his subordinates was also higher than before.

That’s what kept him so busy.

Yvette thought for a moment, that little girl Thea seemed like a little fairy, but didn’t seem mentally unsound...

But ultimately, such things are absurd. Yvette said, "Since you’re so busy, you should come home earlier recently, and skip any gatherings, your health is important."

"Sometimes it’s hard to refuse social engagements."

Theodore talked while changing into pajamas: "You usually don’t ask me about these things, how come you’ve changed today?"

His wife never had the slightest interest in his work.

"Not really."

Yvette used a secure excuse: "Today I met someone outside who said they could tell by looking at me that our family’s fortune is not good lately, and advised us to be careful. I mentioned your situation, and they told you not to attend any gatherings or social events recently, to decline all of them, and come straight home after work."

Theodore paused: "What kind of person?"
