Villains Act Shamelessly: The Heiress was the Great National Master!-Chapter 84: This Is Slander—I’m Sending Him a Lawyer’s Letter!

Landon Ford raised his eyes and gave her a meaningful look.

He didn’t speak, and Thea Shaw didn’t care, pulling Chloe Shaw away.

Chloe gave a polite wave to Landon Ford, not expecting any response, of course.

Thea walked gracefully but quickly, as if she was being chased.

As soon as she left, a curious young gentleman couldn’t resist asking Landon Ford, "Brother Landon, do you know her?"

Strange, there hadn’t been any rumors about these two knowing each other?

Landon Ford’s gaze cooled down, and he looked up, "Can’t I?"

Everyone knew his temper. Seeing his cold expression, they were itching with curiosity but didn’t dare ask further.

However, they all understood one thing: it seemed this little fairy from the Sutton Family should not be provoked.

-

"You said you two weren’t familiar?"

As they walked out the door, Chloe couldn’t help complaining, "The soup wasn’t even halfway finished, one pot costs 5888, do you know how outrageous that is?"

Thea soothed her, "Oh, don’t worry about it, at worst we can split the bill."

"If I said I was treating you, I meant it, what’s with splitting? It’s not about the money, it’s about the waste!" 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

Chloe lectured her a bit, "What’s exactly your relationship with him? Is he pursuing you? Or just friends?"

"Friends, friends."

To avoid further questioning, Thea added, "He’s different from us, high status, and that group of people there listens to him. If I seem too familiar with him outside, it could affect the Suttons now. You know how complicated high society is."

"Oh, I see."

Indeed, hearing about the Suttons, Chloe didn’t ask further, just sighed, "Some people are just enviable, look at him, both handsome and loaded, definitely from the top elite, don’t even know where to start being envious."

Thea nodded in agreement, "Right."

In the Women’s Respect Country, those princes and princesses of the Royal Family were all exceptionally elegant and noble.

Clearly different from ordinary folks.

Some qualities really need special environments to cultivate.

This principle holds everywhere.

Chloe added, "By the way, Dad said he would bring some local specialties from home for me in a few days and visit me, he hasn’t seen me for half a year."

There was something Chloe didn’t say, he was indeed coming to see her, but it wasn’t like their dad worried if he hadn’t seen them for a year or more.

He was concerned that Thea had returned to the Suttons, wanted to see how she was doing now, and feared she might not want to acknowledge them now that she was back with a wealthy family.

Thea paused and said, "Let him come. If you’re busy, I’ll take Dad around Aethelgard since I’m free."

Their foster father’s personality wasn’t as sensitive as Mrs. Blair’s, having worked outside all year round, Thea wasn’t afraid he’d notice anything.

She said it naturally, and Chloe laughed, "Alright."

After discussing this matter, the two sisters casually strolled outside for a while, and in the afternoon, with Chloe needing to go to work and Thea having classes, they returned to the Sutton Family home.

But she underestimated the speed of gossip within the upper-class society. As soon as she got home, she received a call from Zia Sutton.

"Someone said you and Brother Landon had lunch at a hotel and had a great conversation. Now everyone at our school who knows me is asking if our family is about to ascend to higher heights."

He said this with a kind of worldly weariness.

Thea: "..."

Just... ridiculous.

Knowing someone, what does that have to do with ascension?

She immediately clarified, "Rumor, pure rumor. I just had lunch with my sister and happened to run into Landon Ford, we barely exchanged a few words. Where did ’great conversation’ come from? This is slander, I’m sending him a lawyer’s letter!"
