Villains Act Shamelessly: The Heiress was the Great National Master!-Chapter 43: What a Coincidence

She said so, but she didn’t seem to manage the household any less.

After returning from time travel, Thea Shaw gained a new perspective on things and came to a more comprehensive understanding of Chloe Shaw.

She glanced at Chloe Shaw, noting some subtle changes in her career path, probably related to the encounter tonight, and smiled, "Don’t worry, before long you’ll get a promotion and a raise."

Chloe Shaw turned her head to look at Thea Shaw, "Not likely, I just got promoted to department head not long ago."

Thea Shaw replied, "Not necessarily."

Chloe Shaw was smart, "The uncle and aunt you had dinner with are no ordinary people? Yes, our President Hughes is a smart person. If I really get a promotion and a raise, it must have something to do with you."

Thea Shaw did not deny this, "Then don’t complain about it when the time comes. If you can get promoted, then go for it."

Chloe Shaw rolled her eyes, "I’m not stupid, why would I refuse money?"

Tonight Thea Shaw’s talk of buying a house indeed piqued her interest.

Now that both Thea Shaw and she were in Aethelgard, there wasn’t much nostalgia for their hometown, and it wasn’t convenient either. She wanted to bring their parents to Aethelgard.

She wanted to prove her ability, no doubt, but leaving benefits on the table wasn’t her style either. Society doesn’t care about such things.

Besides, taking advantage of her sister was simply a stroke of luck.

She stood at a higher vantage point, indifferent to those below making noise.

Whether or not she could shoulder the responsibilities of the position, the leadership of their large company wasn’t foolish. If she truly got promoted, it would certainly be an indirect affirmation of her abilities.

Now Chloe Shaw had a comprehensive understanding of Thea Shaw. She held the hot coffee she made for herself and saw Thea Shaw, somewhat puzzled, "They say a girl changes a lot at eighteen, why did you change just now? I went home a year ago and didn’t notice such a big change in you. The Sutton Family is that magical, in just two or three days, you’ve been completely transformed?"

Chloe Shaw knew her beautiful but previously superficial sister. It was like having delicate features: stunning at first but losing flavor over time.

Now, both her appearance and aura were fully revealed, combined with her looks, she was simply a force of nature.

If she entered the entertainment industry, every star of the same type would have to step aside.

"Of course not."

Thea Shaw coughed lightly, "People, you know, tend to make progress. I’m already twenty, not that nineteen-year-old girl anymore."

Chloe Shaw: ...

Just aged one year, speaking as if she aged decades.

Chloe Shaw chuckled, "Are you really staying over with me tonight? I only have one room, and the bed is just so big. You’ll have to squeeze in with me."

"I..."

Thea Shaw hesitated for a moment.

She hadn’t shared a bed with anyone for decades, and after serving as the Great National Master for so long, she had grown quite particular about sleeping arrangements.

She didn’t mind squeezing with Chloe Shaw but would likely be unable to sleep, affecting Chloe Shaw who had work in the morning.

Thea Shaw thought for a moment, "I better head back."

Chloe Shaw didn’t mind, "I’ll take you back."

Thea Shaw said, "No need, I’ll just take a cab back myself."

Chloe Shaw, "I used to think it was fine, now I think not."

Looking like you do, I can totally believe even an honest driver might choose to take risks.

Thea Shaw: ...

She had no choice but to obediently follow Chloe Shaw downstairs to hail a cab back.

At night, the streets of Aethelgard were always filled with some people oblivious to the sorrows of the world, carrying out disturbance activities.

The roaring sound of sports cars echoed through the streets. As Thea Shaw and Chloe Shaw got downstairs, they saw a pure starry black sports car arrogantly speeding towards them from a distance.

The car window rolled down, revealing a familiar face, an amused voice:

"What a coincidence."
