Villains Act Shamelessly: The Heiress was the Great National Master!-Chapter 37: Recompense

Mr. Sutton waved his hand to refute, "How did you hear about something so important? This headache saved his life."

Back in the living room, the servant came up and said, "Miss Thea Shaw has plans with someone tonight, she’s gone out."

Mrs. Sutton was taken aback for a moment, "Who is she meeting with?"

The servant shook his head and replied, "She didn’t say."

Just then, Thea Shaw happened to call her, saying she was having dinner with someone outside tonight and would return later.

Although Mrs. Sutton was a bit puzzled, she didn’t ask much, simply reminding her to inform them when she came back so they could send a driver to pick her up. 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

Celestial River Pavilion is a well-known Chinese restaurant in Aethelgard.

It’s an old brand, hard to book a table, pricey, but the food is really good.

Thea Shaw came alone, and Yvette Vaughn and Theodore Howard didn’t invite anyone else. When Theodore saw Thea, his eyes flashed with a hint of surprise.

Previously, he had seen Thea from a distance at a party but hadn’t greeted her.

Seeing her now, it’s true it wasn’t just a fleeting glimpse; this girl truly looked like a little fairy.

Today, Thea wore a cream-white knitted bat sleeve dress, the hem just reaching her knees, paired with casual white sneakers that didn’t feel mismatched at all.

She looked absolutely stunning.

Yvette felt even more delighted seeing Thea like this; she always had a special fondness for daughters, and it was a pity she didn’t have one herself. After having a son, she wasn’t well enough to have more.

A best friend’s daughter is like her own daughter too. She’s always been very good to Aurora Sutton, and upon first meeting Thea, she couldn’t help but marvel, indeed deserving to be her best friend’s daughter.

"Thea, come quickly, this is your Uncle Howard."

Yvette introduced Thea to Theodore Howard. Although Theodore was past middle age, like Mr. Sutton, he was refined and gentle, especially since one of Thea’s remarks had once saved his career. He was very grateful to Thea: "Thea, I must thank you for this time. If it weren’t for your Aunt Yvette mentioning it, I might have faced a serious problem."

Upon returning, he asked Yvette about the master she met, and Yvette then explained Thea’s role.

Thea nodded modestly, "Uncle Howard, it was nothing."

For her, reading faces was naturally a trivial matter, the main thing was that Theodore had good fortune meeting her.

"It’s not a small thing."

Theodore knew Thea had real skills, and now seeing her ethereal presence made him believe even more.

In the past, he liked visiting temples and those temple abbots had a demeanor similar to Thea’s.

Transcending the mundane, appearing to want nothing from life.

Just that aura was something that people of their worldly nature couldn’t achieve.

No one expected Thea, at such a young age, had reached this level, truly talented!

He had no idea of Thea’s thirty years of fortuitous encounters in the Women’s Respect Country.

Theodore and Yvette invited Thea to eat, and at the dining table, they didn’t bring up other matters, mainly expressing their gratitude to Thea and forging a good relationship.

In their circle, many were superstitious. Encountering someone truly competent felt like striking gold.

Theodore not only wanted to genuinely befriend Thea, but also, if she was willing, introduce her to large company owners, providing an important network.

Of course, if Thea wasn’t willing, he wouldn’t force it.

While Thea was dining with Theodore and Yvette in their private room, she didn’t notice the commotion in another room, nor did she expect to run into someone she knew.
