Villains Act Shamelessly: The Heiress was the Great National Master!

Chapter 408: The Feast at Hongmen

This is a very awkward moment.

Thea Shaw’s voice was trembling: "Master, shouldn’t you be busy and overwhelmed with Ryan Sinclair’s matter now?"

Florence Locke answered sincerely, "He’s not worth me getting so busy over."

Thea Shaw: "So you’re just indulging in broad daylight!"

Florence Locke kept a straight face: "He’s just here, what nonsense are you thinking?"

Taking advantage of Thea Shaw’s inability to see, Florence Locke spoke glibly.

Thea Shaw raised her voice: "It’s only about seven or eight in the morning, and he was already there with you. Just the sound of it seems suspicious. Do you think I believe you?"

Florence Locke took the moral high ground: "Is it your place, as a young girl, to criticize your master?"

Thea Shaw: "..."

If she couldn’t argue, she started to stand on the position of a master to suppress with seniority.

This is also a behavior.

That is a guilty conscience.

Thea Shaw was about to speak when Florence Locke continued: "When you had a boyfriend, you didn’t have this attitude towards your master!"

"..." Thea Shaw continued to cry loudly: "Master, now that someone is bullying me, taking advantage of my being alone, I can’t swallow this anger!"

Florence Locke breathed a slight sigh of relief: "What’s going on, tell me the details?"

Thea Shaw explained Regina Shelby’s matter to Florence Locke in detail.

After hearing this, Florence Locke furrowed her brows slightly and gave her opinion as a master: "To haggle over a single business like this, this sect really can’t hold its ground. To reach this level, they must have used plenty of underhanded methods."

Thea Shaw hadn’t thought so before, but after Old Master Rhodes’ reminder and this incident, she felt it made sense.

She contemplated: "Right now, we can’t be sure that it’s someone from The Aetherium Sect. After all, except for an accidental encounter, I’ve never had direct contact with their sect. This suspicion doesn’t hold."

But for someone of Regina Shelby’s level, she didn’t think Regina would seek out an unknown fortune teller.

The other party most likely came from The Aetherium Sect.

Finding Thea Shaw was due to a chance recommendation by Delia Darden.

"Indeed, it doesn’t hold, but since you have a suspicion, it’s likely to be true."

Florence Locke got out of bed, looked out the window, and said, "Whether it’s a personal act or a sect targeting, we must first wait and see, and start with Regina Shelby’s manager, Jesse Jennings."

Florence Locke’s reply was similar to Landon Ford’s, only Landon had already acted.

Thea Shaw then said, "I’ll take care of this first, and come back to report to you tonight, Master."

Florence Locke was also busy with Ryan Sinclair’s matter. Thea Shaw thought that the more people who knew, the more power she would have.

The Aetherium Sect is a big sect, but she’s just by herself!!

After hanging up, Thea Shaw found Jesse Jennings’ company address.

Since the police had just visited, going to Jesse Jennings now might draw attention. Besides, Landon Ford was already investigating. Thinking it over, she decided to look for Adrian Anson instead.

So Thea Shaw sent a message to Adrian Anson: [Are you free? I’d like to treat you to a meal.]

Having just chatted with Thea Shaw, Adrian Anson suddenly found this message carrying an air of a trap disguised as a treat.

Adrian Anson was still pondering whether to report Thea Shaw’s matter internally to the sect.

But he was also thinking about who within the sect would act so excessively.

He didn’t dare to speak up because there wasn’t just one person who came to mind.

The sect has become like this...

Adrian Anson’s expression was also gloomy.
