Villains Act Shamelessly: The Heiress was the Great National Master!-Chapter 97: Quarrel

"I will."

Thea Shaw sighed, "My foster mother is not in good health and can’t move around often. Recently, my sister said our foster father would come to Aethelgard. I plan to save up money to buy a house for my parents, so they can come to Aethelgard as well. Many people from our village have moved away, but my parents said they wanted to buy a house in the local city."

"Now that I’m in Aethelgard, and my sister’s career is steadily progressing, it’s impossible for us to go back often. We might as well just settle down in Aethelgard."

For Landon Ford, the topic of buying a house was unfamiliar. After all, when he bought property, he just chose where he wanted and bought it. However, he was still somewhat aware of the hardships of life, especially as he watched Thea Shaw discuss these matters with enthusiasm. It was clearly something she was very motivated about—a kind of experience he had never had before.

Landon Ford asked curiously, "Aren’t you going to ask the Sutton Family for money?"

The Sutton Family isn’t stingy with their children.

"What’s theirs is theirs," Thea Shaw rolled her eyes. "That money will be mine in the future, but I want to use the money I earn myself. My foster parents are a bit stubborn—if my parents paid for the house, they wouldn’t be comfortable living in it."

Even though Mr. and Mrs. Sutton insisted that after raising them for so many years they deserved something in return, offering a large sum of money, Mrs. Blair still insisted on not accepting it.

She only accepted a pile of gifts that Mrs. Sutton brought over.

She said one sentence at the time: "If I take the money, it would feel like my daughter will no longer be mine."

Mrs. Sutton was a bit moved by this statement at the time and ended up not insisting on giving the money.

Landon Ford chuckled with intrigue, "You make money by reading faces?"

Where did she learn this bizarre skill?

Thea Shaw cleared her throat and sat up straight, "What’s wrong with reading faces? I’m really good at it!"

Landon Ford thought her abilities were rather spooky.

She immediately recognized that Aurora Sutton was a Kensington. The Ford Family had also consulted feng shui masters, but none he had met were as skilled as Thea Shaw.

However, everyone has their secrets, and Landon Ford didn’t press further.

After their conversation tonight, he learned more about Thea Shaw. It seemed she wasn’t just some ethereal fairy with a secret mischievous side.

When Landon Ford dropped her off at home later, surprisingly, no one was around.

Except for Zia Sutton, who came down in the middle of the night for a snack.

This made Thea Shaw breathe a sigh of relief.

Zia Sutton, hearing the roar of the supercar outside, was unfazed, only asking Thea, "Where did you go? Coming back so late? Mom tried to call you and couldn’t reach you, and she called me. I told her you might be with your sister."

It seemed she didn’t know about the police station incident.

Thea Shaw put on a serious face, "Went out to play."

"..." Zia Sutton said, "If you go out, you should call home."

Mrs. Sutton worried that if she was too strict with Thea just after coming back, it might stress her out.

"I forgot, I forgot, my mistake."

The fewer people knew about the police station incident, the better.

She looked around, "No one else is home tonight?"

"No, they went to visit some other family with Uncle’s family."

Zia Sutton shrugged, "Also, in the afternoon, I saw Uncle and Minnie having a fight. I said, an old man can’t handle a young wife. Minnie’s mouth is like a machine gun, and she had Uncle bowled over."

Thea Shaw was a bit curious, "What were they fighting about?"

Zia Sutton thought for a moment and then said, "I couldn’t hear clearly from so far away, but it seemed to be about children."

Thea Shaw: "?"

Could it be that Dad mentioned this issue, and Vincent Sutton immediately suspected Minnie?
