Villains Act Shamelessly: The Heiress was the Great National Master!-Chapter 91: Embracing Tradition While Accepting Change

"You... you have no manners!"

Nana Sutton couldn’t even swear properly, and as soon as she heard Thea Shaw call her mouth cheap, she got furious: "Is this the attitude you should have towards your cousin?"

"I treat you the way you treat me. If you can’t speak properly, then don’t. It’s such a good morning, and you have to ruin it. What, do you think everyone here thinks you have a sweet tongue just because you’re direct? No way, no way! You can’t really think that, right?!"

Aurora Sutton was holding her bowl, almost pressing it against her face, her shoulders shaking with laughter.

The others had different expressions, Mr. and Mrs. Sutton were trying not to laugh. Of course, Mr. Sutton still had to keep up appearances and lightly said, "Thea, your cousin’s being childish, you shouldn’t be too."

Thea Shaw responded obediently: "I know."

Nana Sutton: "..."

At the table, Eric and Lee Sutton, a couple of cousins, were stifling their laughter. At home, Nana Sutton was the only eldest daughter, and with her bad temperament and personality, she didn’t get along with them, so the two cousins naturally wouldn’t help her.

Minnie Miles, being a foreigner, didn’t understand a word, so naturally, she couldn’t get involved.

Vincent Sutton returned to talk to Mr. Sutton about some matters, and seeing this, he didn’t defend his daughter. He changed the topic with Mr. Sutton, steering the conversation elsewhere.

Nana Sutton, seeing no one was siding with her, and Aurora Sutton, who usually had a say, was pretending she didn’t hear a thing.

She could only sit down huffily, stabbing the bottom of her bowl with chopsticks, wishing it was Thea Shaw she was poking.

Thea Shaw didn’t bother with Nana Sutton either. Mrs. Sutton mentioned last night that Nana’s family would only stay for two or three days, and people like that didn’t really cross paths with them often, just an annual awkward encounter that could be ignored.

Thea Shaw didn’t want to be annoyed at home by such people. Just then, her master Florence Locke sent a message, starting with a life-or-death question.

Master: [Do you know what day it is today?]

Thea Shaw: ...

She thought a lot but couldn’t figure out what special day it was today.

Perhaps it had been too long without a reply, Florence sent another seemingly disappointed voice message.

Master: [I knew you wouldn’t know what day it is today. Looks like our Qirenia’s National Day isn’t worth mentioning in your eyes.]

Thea Shaw: ?????

She understood the reasoning, but that was all in another world!

Qirenia was the Women’s Respect Country, and its so-called National Day was just like the current National Day, commemorating the founding of the nation.

But that was Qirenia’s tradition, and placing it in China...

Emmmmm.

Florence Locke was a native Great National Master raised in Qirenia, who loved everything about it to the core, so she remembered this birthday too.

Thea Shaw thought it would be nice to have a reason to go out since Nana Sutton was being an eyesore at home these days.

So she joyfully headed over to Florence Locke’s place.

To show her respect for this National Day, she brought along a bag of apples when she went over.

When she arrived at Florence Locke’s home and opened the door, Thea Shaw saw Florence had changed into a celestial-looking ancient costume, with a misty gray blouse making Florence look very much like an enlightened master.

Only the master’s trendy, stylish wavy curls seemed a bit too fashionable.

Seeing Thea Shaw staring at her hair, Florence tidied her locks: "Bored, so I dyed it."

Thea Shaw: "..."

The blending of tradition and the embrace of trends by her master left her bewildered.
