Villains Act Shamelessly: The Heiress was the Great National Master!-Chapter 72: They’re Truly in Love, So the Price Must Go Up

Despite this, Secretary Miller maintained a smile.

"Young Master Ford is set to inherit the entire Ford Family, his status is not ordinary. I think Miss Shaw just returned to the Sutton Family and may not understand everything, but I believe Miss Shaw knows what kind of woman is suitable to be by Young Master Ford’s side."

After Secretary Miller finished speaking, he pushed the bank card in front of Thea Shaw and said, "There’s 20 million on the card."

Thea Shaw: ...

Although the Sutton Family is wealthy, they certainly wouldn’t give a freshly returned daughter 20 million just like that, considering Warren Ford’s perspective.

Thea Shaw had returned from the countryside and had never encountered such a large sum of money, so 20 million was enough to settle her.

Thea Shaw didn’t take the card, but she looked at Secretary Miller earnestly and said, "I think I might have expressed myself inaccurately just now. Actually, my relationship with Landon is not unfamiliar."

She gave Secretary Miller a perfectly standard smile: "He and I are true love, you need to add more money!"

Secretary Miller: ...

"Given the standards of your Ford Family, offering only 20 million doesn’t seem quite right, does it?"

Secretary Miller sneered, realizing she was also money-driven: "How much do you want?"

Thea Shaw: "1 billion."

Secretary Miller: ...

He took back the bank card, packed up his briefcase, and stood up with a smile: "I will report this issue to Mr. Warren Ford. In the meantime, I wish you and Young Master Ford happiness."

Thea Shaw: ...

She looked at Secretary Miller and suddenly said, "Hey, Secretary Miller, we can put work matters aside, let’s talk about other things instead. Secretary Miller, you have an eight-year-old daughter this year, right?"

Secretary Miller was somewhat surprised why Thea Shaw suddenly brought this up, though it wasn’t a secret, he nodded and said, "Yes, does Miss Shaw have a question?" 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

"To be honest, I used to practice feng shui and physiognomy in the countryside, exploring people’s destinies a lot. Recently, I would advise Secretary Miller to pay more attention to those around your family to prevent unforeseen events."

Secretary Miller was caught off guard by her instant transformation into a mystic, leaving him with an indescribable expression: "Are you serious?"

Thea Shaw nodded: "I’m serious."

Judging by his physiognomy, a separation of wife and child was imminent, something was indeed about to happen.

His daughter was very likely to encounter an incident.

Of course, Secretary Miller didn’t believe her. He was here to carry out the orders of the domineering senior president, but unfortunately, this girl in front of him evidently wasn’t buying it.

—No, to be more precise, her appetite was too large.

Secretary Miller snorted, then left calmly with his briefcase.

After seeing Secretary Miller leave, Thea Shaw clicked her tongue and shook her head.

Little did he know, not long after Secretary Miller left, right when he got to the company, he ran into a harbinger of disaster.

Upon seeing Landon Ford, Secretary Miller’s calm composure slightly cracked, and cold sweat trickled down instantly.

Especially when the harbinger came with ill intent: "I heard you went to see her?"

Secretary Miller knew how difficult Landon Ford could be to deal with, and immediately sold out Warren Ford: "I went to see Miss Shaw on Mr. Ford’s orders."

Landon Ford raised the corner of his eye, fully aware of his father’s usual behavior, he sneered lightly: "How much did he plan to pay?"

"20 million, but fortunately, Miss Shaw didn’t agree."

Landon Ford: "Oh?"

Secretary Miller wiped the sweat from his forehead: "She said you two are true love and told Mr. Ford to come up with 1 billion."

Anyone could guess Warren Ford would never agree to that.

Landon Ford: ...

He lowered his head and smiled slightly, "What a fair-weather friend she is."
