Villains Act Shamelessly: The Heiress was the Great National Master!-Chapter 45: Utter Embarrassment

For a long while, Landon Ford didn’t say anything.

The car proceeded quietly.

Occasionally, a driver catching sight of the supercar would widen their eyes and quickly keep their distance.

After a few minutes of silence, Landon Ford abruptly asked, "What’s the tattoo on my back?"

Thea Shaw, thinking about something else, replied faster than her brain: "A scorpion."

"..."

"..."

The man’s laughter inside the car was obvious, and Thea, with her head down, instantly wanted to leave this city and start anew somewhere no one knew her.

This shameless rascal had the nerve to launch a sneak attack when she was completely off guard!

"Did your phone break?" Landon Ford playfully repeated the phrase: "You still saw what you needed to see. That’s impressive."

Thea Shaw: ...

The Great National Master hadn’t been this embarrassed in thirty years.

Maybe it was too mortifying; Thea felt her earlobes reddening.

Landon Ford glanced over and saw her fair and delicate earlobes turning red, strikingly obvious.

The feeling of teasing her was particularly enjoyable, though he couldn’t quite say why.

But she would always look at photos and not respond, the hidden little flirt.

The road back to the Sutton family was still quite far, and a call from Zia Sutton temporarily rescued the current awkward and suffocating scene.

Zia Sutton asked her, "You’re not coming back tonight?"

"I’m on my way back."

Zia Sutton gave an "oh," "I heard from Mom and Dad that you went out for dinner with someone. Who was it?"

"A friend." Not mentioning Yvette Vaughn and Theodore Howard for now, Thea Shaw said, "I ran into my sister halfway, caught up at her place for a bit, now heading back."

"Your sister? The one... oh, from the Shaw family, right?" Zia Sutton recalled, indeed their mom had mentioned Thea had an elder sister from the foster family.

"That’s right."

Zia Sutton said, "You should invite your sister to visit our home sometime."

After all, he was curious about the family that raised Thea.

"My sister is busy with work, but I’ll invite her over when she has time." Then she added, surprised: "You called me, is there something you need?"

She wasn’t very familiar with Zia Sutton yet, so it seemed unlikely for him to call without reason.

"It’s something..." Zia Sutton hesitated. "I’m not sure how to tell Mom and Dad."

But he felt uneasy keeping it a secret, and after much deliberation, he inexplicably called Thea.

Thea Shaw: "What’s the matter, go ahead and say it."

"It’s about Aurora."

Zia Sutton unexpectedly brought up Aurora Sutton: "Aurora had a conflict with some classmates today over an issue and is currently in the hospital for observation. She doesn’t want me to tell Mom and Dad, and I can’t find an excuse not to go home. Now Aurora is alone at the hospital..."

Thea Shaw instantly understood.

After all, Aurora was her sister, and as Thea was already out and about, Zia wanted her to check on the situation.

He sensed that Thea Shaw didn’t have negative feelings toward Aurora Sutton, so he spoke up.

"I’ll head to the hospital first, I haven’t told Mom and Dad, I’ll just say I’m with my sister."

Zia Sutton breathed a sigh of relief: "Okay, I’ll let Mom and Dad know. If she’s fine, you should come back early. I’ve arranged for a nurse to look after her."

The matter shouldn’t be very serious; otherwise, Zia would definitely have informed the Sutton parents.

After hanging up, Thea Shaw turned to Landon Ford: "I need to trouble you to take me to the hospital, I’m not going to the Sutton family for now."

Landon Ford had vaguely overheard the call just now and chuckled lightly: "If you need a favor, shouldn’t you know how to address the person?"

Thea Shaw humbly and honestly responded: "Landon bro."

The girl’s voice was so obedient and soft, Landon Ford turned the steering wheel with one hand and changed direction.
