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

Chapter 488: Farewell, Regina Shelby

Thea said, "It’s fine. From what I can tell, her husband passed away recently, so I’m guessing something big is about to happen."

Mr. Sutton: "..."

Ever since his daughter returned, Mr. Sutton felt the world had turned into a fantasy novel.

Zia Sutton had just returned the money to Thea, which meant she was eating dirt for the next month.

Right before her dad could go to meet a client, she quickly went through the motions of crying, making a fuss, and threatening extreme measures. Finally, she managed to discuss buying a car, and then—got her allowance cut for three months.

Even Thea could hear Mr. Sutton’s scolding: "It’s not that I’m forbidding you from buying a car, but look at how many cars are in your garage. You’re only twenty-two, and you already own three sports cars. Now you want to buy another car? Thea’s been back home and hasn’t asked us for anything; she even earns her own money. Look at your sister, then look at yourself! How did I end up with such a useless son?"

"...." Zia still had the nerve to protest: "Thea lives off you guys, and then there’s Landon, but me? I only have you! Dad!!"

Unfortunately, Mr. Sutton wasn’t buying it.

So Zia’s allowance was still cut off.

Even for this trip, Mr. Sutton gave Thea a card, patted her head, and said, "Thea, buy whatever you want when you’re playing. Just use this card. If your brother wants something too, fine, but don’t buy him anything inappropriate like cars or watches. Watch over him these days, and don’t let him take you to any bars."

Then he turned to a dejected Zia: "If you take your sister to a bar and I find out, I will break your legs."

Zia: "..."

Once Mr. Sutton left, only Thea and Zia were left.

Zia cast a pleading look at Thea: "Sis, you’re my full sister, you wouldn’t be so cruel to me, right?"

Thea: "Of course not, you’re my brother after all."

Zia hadn’t even started to smile before Thea said, "Let’s go, I want to do some shopping. Carry my bags, minion."

Zia: "..."

They said they were going shopping, but they weren’t really hitting up the department stores. Those shops had no appeal.

Their first stop was the local night market. Fenmore had a particularly famous ancient town. It’s packed with people every day, but at night it offers breathtaking views next to the river, with countless river lanterns making the scenery stunning.

Thea delved into the night market, hoping to enjoy the beautiful scenery while also picking up various tidbits of information.

Suddenly inspired, Thea decided to change into a traditional costume. It’s no exaggeration to say, in that bold red traditional gown, Thea’s looks and vibe took on an ethereal feel that even left Zia stunned.

Not five minutes outside, Thea had to go back and change.

There were too many influencers on the street; as soon as Thea showed up, everyone thought some goddess-level influencer had appeared out of nowhere. People crowded around Thea, taking photos, and she couldn’t even move.

"..."

It was the first time she realized that being too beautiful could really cause a stir.

This time she decided to keep a low profile, dressing in simple modern attire and adding a face mask.

While walking in the crowd, Thea suddenly caught a glimpse of a familiar shadow.

That person must have put on makeup; it was hard to see their original silhouette. If Thea hadn’t done a fortune telling for them before, she would have been fooled.

Regina Shelby!

She wasn’t supposed to be in Fenmore, was she?

Calculating on her fingers, Thea concluded that Regina Shelby had indeed changed locations.

After a moment’s hesitation, she decided to follow her up.
