Chapter 412: Only the Rich Rush to Flee
Landon Ford is someone you can count on to get things done.
He’s already made some progress.
"We’ve found out it’s Mr. Moody. Since you mentioned Mark Moody, it’s him."
Landon said, "I’ve even met this guy."
Thea Shaw: "He’s a corporate chairman; maybe you’ve seen him at some events. What do you think of him?"
"Not much."
This guy has a Buddha-like face, but Landon knows that anyone who mixes in this business world can’t be simple.
Mr. Moody also dabbles in fortune-telling, which isn’t too hidden if you look into it; it’s just that Landon has never been interested in this field. To him, Mr. Moody is a minor character, so he naturally didn’t pay attention.
"Jesse Jennings is still keeping his mouth shut."
Primarily because Jesse Jennings is still under police investigation, and Landon’s people can’t be too obvious.
More importantly, the other side doesn’t realize the consequences of offending Thea Shaw.
It’s known that Thea’s boyfriend is Landon Ford, but for someone like Jesse Jennings, he’s not in the same league.
He might at most think Thea is a fortune teller, knowing she’s Miss Sutton.
Aside from that, nothing else.
Mark Moody surely knows.
Since he knows, yet directed it to be done this way, then it means that Mark Moody is pushing Jesse Jennings forward—so how is he so sure he won’t be exposed?
Or does he feel that even if Thea finds out, he has nothing to fear?
"A stubborn mouth won’t last long."
Thea has confidence in Landon’s influence. If they can’t pry open the mouth of a small fry, how could he live up to his title as the crown prince of Aethelgard!
After reporting Adrian Anson’s situation, Thea left the place by car, saying, "Regina Shelby ran so fast, she must have made arrangements beforehand. She must have been prepared without consulting a fortune-telling master."
She must have planned to escape long ago; otherwise, she wouldn’t have moved so swiftly.
Regina isn’t stupid. She’s fully aware of the fate awaiting her and her patron. Even if the master doesn’t say, running away is the only way out.
Staying in the country is a dead end.
"Why do you think she was in such a hurry to run?"
Landon flipped through the documents in his hand. "Because she has over a billion dollars in cash she hasn’t handed over, in overseas accounts under her name. The key point is, without her authorization, even if she appears dead, no one else can touch those billions. If Regina returns in a year, once everything settles, those billions will belong to her."
Thea took a deep breath.
"Wow... Just how do wealthy people nowadays have billions in cash at their disposal, just like that?"
That’s cash, not some futures you can compare to.
Even a CEO worth billions might not be able to instantly cough up billions in cash.
Net worth value and actual holdings aren’t the same thing.
For example, you might have billions in real estate, but you can’t quickly liquidate it unless you have a massive sell-off.
Yet, Thea thought for a moment and said, "From what I’ve read in the news, the money that celebrities make now is astronomical. For someone like Regina Shelby, appearing in just one TV show might earn her a billion. She’s been in the industry for so many years; this much money is actually par for the course for her?"
"It’s par for the course, but what she earns herself and what she takes for free aren’t the same thing. This money has already been laundered and is clean. Even if she runs, she has to leave some security for herself."
