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

Chapter 418: I’ll Handle It Myself!

Jesse Jennings’s face turned even paler.

This news was even worse.

It meant he was directly given a death sentence by Mark Moody over there.

He wasn’t clear on how terrifying Mark Moody could be, but Mark’s public persona was also that of a CEO of a listed company, so it would be easy for him to deal with an agent like Jesse.

Trying to curry favor with Mr. Moody by framing Thea Shaw earlier had that intention embedded in it.

Who knew Thea Shaw would act so swiftly?

Now Jesse Jennings regretted it immensely.

Realizing he had offended both sides, he figured he might as well hold onto one side tightly, so he hurriedly looked at Thea Shaw with pleading eyes: "Miss Shaw, I’ve done as you instructed."

But unfortunately, Thea Shaw didn’t play by the rules and was well aware of his schemes. She smiled nonchalantly: "Mr. Jennings, you’ve made the most reasonable choice, which proves your conscience isn’t completely gone. May your conscience save yourself, Amen!"

Thea Shaw traced a cross in front of her chest and then jauntily walked away.

Kidding, when Jesse Jennings and Mark Moody were plotting to frame her, they definitely didn’t have any good intentions.

To make matters worse, the police would be keeping an eye on Thea Shaw during this period, inevitably causing her trouble.

If they don’t find Regina Shelby’s killer for a day, she remains the prime suspect. And once the police data becomes public, Regina’s backers would know. Learning that Thea gave Regina such a ’good idea,’ how could they not hate her?

It’s extreme that she had even calculated Regina’s fate and told her to flee.

Now that Jenkins turned on them, it was Thea who approached, scared, but that didn’t mean she had to help him.

Did she have "Mother Teresa" written on her face?

Thea Shaw never felt any sympathy for people like him.

Upon leaving the office, Thea Shaw’s smile gradually faded.

The reasons she mentioned earlier still existed, except now Mark Moody was also dragged into it.

Although fortune tellers appear to be exalted figures, this is a modern society with its own rules, and they are part of it. Getting involved in certain matters means they can’t stay uninvolved.

Soon after leaving Jesse Jennings’s place, she received a call from Landon Ford: "How did it go?"

Thea Shaw replied, "Indeed, Mark Moody has been dragged out, now it’s him and Jesse Jennings biting each other, but with Mark now aware he’s exposed, it’s clear we’re now open enemies. It’s quite an eyesore having someone targeting me like this."

Landon Ford joked, "Are you going to duel him now?"

Thea Shaw snorted, "Him duel with me? Landon, what era do we live in, let’s show some modern society style. Didn’t he open a company? I refuse to believe he has no compliance issues, let’s send some people to his company to cause trouble and get him caught!"

Landon Ford, "..."

He was momentarily surprised by Thea Shaw’s modern tactics, then chuckled lightly, "That’s actually a good idea, but a word of caution, his company is backed by The Aetherium Sect. Targeting the company would mean confronting them publicly, and for now, that’s not a wise decision. However, The Aetherium Sect is acting too high-profile lately; they are bound to get into trouble eventually, no need to rush."

His voice was resonant and affectionate, "But I’ll handle this for you, as your boyfriend."

Thea Shaw was touched, "Landon, you really are a good person."

Landon Ford, "I finish work at five. Come pick me up and let’s head back together tonight."

Thea Shaw: "Pah, such a small issue doesn’t need a god like you to deal with, I’ll handle it myself!"

Thea Shaw promptly hung up the phone.
