Villains Act Shamelessly: The Heiress was the Great National Master! Chapter 197: Everyone Has Their Own Little Secrets

Carrying the bird’s nest gifted by Warren Ford, Landon Ford asked her after leaving the hospital, "Just because he gives you a bird’s nest, you think he’s a good person?"

Thea Shaw replied, "You always have to make polite conversation. I couldn’t possibly refuse it. How would I refuse? Would I say, ’Ugh—do you think I’m that kind of person? Like I would accept a bird’s nest from your family?’ Do you think your dad would fight on the spot? And if Uncle is fine, my family has—actually, my family really doesn’t have anything."

What others can gift to Warren Ford is definitely sothing not obtainable on the market.

Landon Ford sneered, "Don’t worry, you can fleece him for all he’s worth."

Thea Shaw was curious, "Hey, what do you think your dad is up to? Does he like or not? He wanted to settle things with twenty million back then, but now he’s gifting bird’s nest?"

"Bird’s nest isn’t valuable. He’s just doing a little favor," Landon Ford rcilessly criticized his father. "If he really valued you, he’d have handed over his bank card directly."

Thea Shaw said, "Superficial! How could the relationship between Uncle and be asured by money?—Maybe last ti, asking for a billion was too much. If I said a hundred million, he might have agreed."

Landon Ford: "..."

He suddenly narrowed his eyes at Thea Shaw, "How much did Grandpa give you last ti?"

"I haven’t looked. I just put it aside when I got back ho."

Anyway, she didn’t plan to use it. Checking it would just be nerve-wracking.

Just afraid it contains a number she can’t handle, and then what? Breaking up would feel like a matter of life and death.

After all, who can say for sure if she’ll really be the Ford family’s daughter-in-law, right?

"Grandpa wouldn’t give little. He likes auspicious numbers; it’s probably 8888."

Thea Shaw: "...Dollars?!"

Landon Ford: "Ha ha."

Thea Shaw now didn’t dare check it even more.

After visiting Warren Ford, the two also had a al outside. Busy Landon Ford naturally had to return to work at the company. With Warren Ford’s minor car accident, Landon had to go and reassure the team.

Originally, he said he would take Thea Shaw ho first, but Thea, having so free ti and feeling idle, decided to first visit her ntor. Landon Ford dropped her off below Florence Locke’s building before leaving.

She had the code to Florence Locke’s place, but still needed to make a call before entering soone else’s house.

Florence Locke was indifferent upon knowing she was coming, "Co on in."

Seeing how calm her ntor was, Thea knew she wasn’t hiding any young n in the apartnt.

For so reason, just thinking about it felt a little disappointing.

Entering the house, Thea noticed that Florence Locke’s nature seed to be gradually eroding.

Her ntor used to wear fairy-like attire, but now, she was in silk pajamas, lounging on the couch painting her nails, fully displaying the refined life of a woman.

Seeing this, Thea couldn’t help but feel emotional, "ntor, you’ve perfectly adapted to modern life now."

"Indeed, it’s a bit challenging to leave such a comfortable life behind," Florence Locke sighed, "If I were in Qirenia, I would never live like this. Although the social atmosphere in modern society isn’t great, the technology is advanced enough to have provided great convenience for ."

Indeed.

The social atmosphere isn’t very friendly to her ntor.

Thea approached and asked about the Wyatt family matter, "ntor, is your work so mysterious that you can’t disclose anything? Then why did you leave the Wyatt family matter to ? How did you get to know the Wyatts?"

Florence Locke solved it with two words, "Everyone has their little secrets. You talk too much."

Thea Shaw: "..."
