Villains Act Shamelessly: The Heiress was the Great National Master!-Chapter 59: Aurora Sutton’s Mother Passed Away Early
Landon Ford’s behavior was indeed quite different from the rumors.
Mr. Sutton remembered many partners mentioning Landon Ford, often saying: "That guy has a really bad temper, he’s quite eccentric."
Seeing Mr. Sutton, though Landon wasn’t always smiling, he seemed much more normal.
Mr. Sutton didn’t think the rumors were false, after all, he knew his business partners well.
Landon Ford being so agreeable, he understood the reason why.
He could only sigh inwardly.
Thea Shaw, on the other hand, was leisurely enjoying delicious sushi and didn’t interfere with Landon Ford and Mr. Sutton’s conversation.
Since it was about Aurora Sutton, Landon wasn’t very enthusiastic, but he offered a few key points to Mr. Sutton: "I heard The Abbotts are planning a comeback in the country these years, Benson Abbott has completely gained power, and Old Master Abbott can no longer suppress him."
Benson Abbott was the rumored unfaithful heir.
Upon hearing this, Mr. Sutton snorted coldly inside, but remained calm on the surface: "The Abbotts haven’t had much of a foothold in the country for years, I’m afraid he won’t gain much coming back."
"Indeed." Landon’s smile carried a hint of playfulness: "My dad can’t tolerate a thorn in his side."
The Ford Family had swallowed up the Abbott Family’s foundations back then, no way they’d give Benson Abbott a chance to rise again.
"But if his target isn’t this, then it’s hard to say."
Landon Ford ate a miniature, delicate sushi, while glancing at Thea Shaw, who was focused on her food.
Thea Shaw stuffed a sushi into her mouth, her cheeks puffed as she chewed, like a little rabbit.
Landon Ford felt the urge to laugh.
Mr. Sutton was somewhat surprised: "Then what does he want to do?"
After all, it was a private matter, Mr. Sutton couldn’t be bothered with formalities.
"Seems like he’s still got his eyes on the Kensington Group. The old Mr. Kensington is getting on in years, doesn’t even have an heir, while Benson still has his previous son-in-law status."
Landon Ford spoke nonchalantly, while the chef served a fresh slice of sushi, which Landon casually pushed towards Thea.
Mr. Sutton’s gaze twitched.
Thea shook her head in refusal: "I don’t eat sashimi."
Not eating sashimi at a sushi place seemed soulless, but she just didn’t like raw food.
For a moment, Mr. Sutton felt somewhat comforted.
But he was still pondering the earlier matter, and said: "What a shameless act!"
He realized belatedly that his words could be interpreted as veiled.
Mr. Sutton: ...
The Sutton Family, in danger.
Landon Ford paused.
He silently pushed the plate back to Mr. Sutton.
Mr. Sutton: ...
Didn’t dare not to eat it.
Thea Shaw, while eating, grasped the entire context.
The Abbotts had a mistress back then, who drove the original Mrs. Kensington to her death on New Year’s Eve by suicide, a truly tragic affair.
The mistress was pregnant at the time, and it was said the child was lost, now she’s living harmoniously with Benson Abbott and they’ve even had another child.
Benson Abbott wants to return to the country to resume his business, still targeting the declining Kensington Group, as they lack an heir.
In that context, it’s possible that the mistress is Aurora Sutton’s biological mother.
Thinking of her deductions, Thea Shaw couldn’t help but ask: "Is that mistress still with Benson Abbott?"
"Of course, still together." Landon Ford responded, squinting slightly: "Since she could climb her way up, can’t she bind Benson Abbott for twenty years with those tactics?"
Thea Shaw: "Still alive?"
"Of course."
Landon Ford chuckled: "Were you hoping she wasn’t?"
Thea Shaw: ...
Well, then Aurora Sutton isn’t.
Her biological mother passed away early.
