Villains Act Shamelessly: The Heiress was the Great National Master!
Chapter 506: Mrs. Quinn
This matter was resolved by Thea Shaw, so of course, Mrs. Seymour had to thank her.
Thea Shaw took this opportunity to ask her question: "I just saw a lady wearing a black round hat, who looked particularly elegant and dignified. Auntie Seymour, do you know her? She just left."
That woman’s aura was distinctive, even standing out among a group of high-society ladies.
Thea Shaw felt that once she mentioned it, Mrs. Seymour would likely know who it was.
After all, not many people had left yet.
As expected, Mrs. Seymour reacted instantly: "Are you talking about Serena Quinn?"
Thea Shaw repeated, "Serena Quinn?"
The name was indeed uncommon.
"It should be Serena Quinn." Mrs. Seymour affirmed: "However, people usually don’t call her by her name. Outsiders call her Mrs. Quinn. The Quinn family is one of those rare mixed-race families in Fenmore, they were aristocrats who immigrated from abroad years ago with particular standards, so we all call her Mrs. Quinn."
Mrs. Seymour’s understanding of Mrs. Quinn was evidently not deep, but she had a clear impression. Her tone also turned a bit unexpected: "Why do you ask about her?"
Thea Shaw used the universal excuse: "I saw she was particularly beautiful, so I asked."
Mrs. Seymour: "..."
She glanced at Thea Shaw’s appearance without speaking, then, silent for a moment, said: "It’s best not to ask too much about Mrs. Quinn."
As a lady of an affluent family, she looked around, lowered her voice, and surprisingly said a piece of gossip: "There are rumors outside, saying that Mrs. Quinn’s family is related to some legendary Witch Clan from abroad, and that Mrs. Quinn can perform witchcraft. Our family is not very familiar with her, the interaction is mainly due to business dealings."
They were all affluent families in Fenmore, just business interactions.
Thea Shaw was a bit surprised: "You actually told me this?"
Mainly because this kind of rumor, based on Mrs. Seymour’s status, didn’t seem like something she would believe, yet she told a little girl, which was surprising.
Mrs. Seymour laughed: "I didn’t believe those things before meeting you. Besides, they are just idle rumors, everyone talks about it, you can just casually listen."
Thea Shaw: "..."
Indeed, after all, her fortune-telling had been quite shocking too.
Unable to deny, the moment Mrs. Seymour mentioned that Mrs. Quinn could do ’witchcraft,’ Thea Shaw felt a touch in her heart.
She thought of something.
There’s fortune-telling in this country, what does witchcraft count as abroad?
Mrs. Seymour did not dwell much on the matter of Mrs. Quinn with Thea Shaw; she shifted the topic back: "About Leon, I really have to thank you. If it weren’t for you saving him in time this time, I wouldn’t have known that Leon had suffered so much all these years outside."
The lady, who should have been a proud daughter of an affluent family, was bullied into such a state.
Speaking of this, Mrs. Seymour was genuinely heartbroken, after all, she is a part of her flesh and blood.
Thea Shaw, of course, exchanged the usual polite words: "Mrs. Seymour, oh, no need to be polite."
Mrs. Seymour, understanding the norms, somehow found Thea Shaw’s account, and soon, her account had an extra ten million.
Thea Shaw: ...
Mrs. Seymour is truly generous!
With her husband’s passing, Mrs. Seymour still had many things to deal with, so everyone didn’t stay long at the Seymour Family, and as Mr. Sutton took Thea Shaw away, Thea Shaw took the chance to ask him: "Dad, have you heard of Mrs. Quinn from Fenmore?"
If Mr. Sutton had seen that woman at the funeral, he would likely have an impression of her.
