Villains Act Shamelessly: The Heiress was the Great National Master! Chapter 217: Chatting with Mrs. Blair

Landon Ford decisively refused: "No."

Thea Shaw: "..."

Then why do you bla !

"The sooner the eting is over, the sooner we all get relief."

Of course, Landon didn’t say much to her, as he barely had enough ti to eat. He let Thea stay and watch a movie, and they could go back later together.

Secretary Lane soon ca in and brought her a cold drink. Thea took the opportunity to ask, "Is he always this busy?"

"Not really." Phillip Lane laughed and said, "Normally, it’s just regular office hours, but maybe Young Master Ford has so matters today and wants to leave work early, so he scheduled the eting earlier."

Thea Shaw: "..."

Seems it’s just to make dinner for her.

She didn’t have the nerve to ask further.

Once Phillip Lane left, Thea held her cold drink and gazed out the floor-to-ceiling window, feeling sowhat sentintal.

Actually sitting here, your status and perspective feel different. If it weren’t for work, spending a day here would be enjoyable.

At that mont, Thea received a call from Mrs. Blair, and the first thing she said was, "Your boyfriend can actually cook?"

Mrs. Blair isn’t very skilled with electronic devices, and she only checks social dia occasionally. Just now, while she had so free ti, she spotted the post Thea made, showcasing the al Landon prepared, and surprised, she called to ask.

"Yeah, I was really surprised too." Thea replied spontaneously, "He doesn’t look like soone who can cook at all."

What’s more, it’s quite delicious.

Landon Ford is truly an unexpectedly talented rich kid; it’ll be hard to call him a spoiled brat in the future.

"Wow, you’re quite lucky to have found soone good-looking who can also cook." Mrs. Blair teased her.

When Thea and Chloe were younger, neither liked cooking, as Mrs. Blair and Mr. Shaw indulged them. Chloe didn’t have much ti, while Thea simply didn’t want to learn or hated cooking, which left Mrs. Blair worried about what she’d do when she got married.

Mr. Shaw would often say they should find soone who can cook, and now Thea unexpectedly did.

"Oh well, even if we can’t cook, we don’t have to worry. We can hire a maid or order take-out; we won’t starve!"

Mrs. Blair replied sowhat disgruntledly, "You always think of things like this, but can you trust food made by soone else? Anyway, it’s fine that he can cook. Aunt Chase ca by yesterday asking for your contact information, wanting to introduce you to her nephew. I told her you have a boyfriend now. It was hilarious when she said, ’Are people outside better than her nephew who they know everything about?’ Ha, wishful thinking. She should consider her family genes!"

Aunt Chase?

Thea vaguely rembers this woman.

She truly is a character—loud, loves gossip, and is always the first to know of any neighborhood commotion.

Constantly talking, she’s taken advantage of the Shaw Family quite often. Mrs. Blair has never been fond of her, but as neighbors, there’s no avoiding her.

Thea clicked her tongue: "Certainly optimistic."

Mrs. Blair paused and then added, "But they all still think you’ve gone off to Aethelgard for college; I haven’t ntioned you ca ho."

The adopted daughter returned to her biological family, and neighbors would surely gossip that Thea hasn’t returned. Mrs. Blair worried these comnts might affect her, so she didn’t ntion it, but she also feared Thea might think she’s being selfish.

Thea then said, "There’s no need to tell them; they’re outsiders. Besides, you’re all moving to Aethelgard soon, so there won’t be any connections anymore. Whether you say sothing or not doesn’t matter, and saying it might just bring trouble."
