Villains Act Shamelessly: The Heiress was the Great National Master!-Chapter 11: Rumors About Landon Ford

Zia Sutton felt that the Sutton Family’s glory might have reached its peak.

The attention from the people around couldn’t bring Zia back to her senses.

It wasn’t until Mrs. Sutton approached them with a relieved expression, saying, "I thought you all went somewhere. The banquet is about to begin."

Zia didn’t dare to tell her about what happened at the back mountain just now, she could only look at her with a face full of conflict and hesitation, thinking that the Sutton Family might be nearing its end.

How could Mrs. Sutton know? As she looked at her newly found daughter, she liked her more and more.

Her daughter was a little fairy, capturing everyone’s attention around her.

Those who originally felt a bit sorry for Thea Shaw now gained some understanding upon seeing Mrs. Sutton’s attitude.

Indeed, she is her biological daughter, of course, she would be fond upon bringing her back.

The Sutton Family was lucky to have such a beautiful daughter, well-mannered like a little fairy, bringing untold joy just by looking.

The Sutton Family truly was blessed.

Aurora Sutton and Thea Shaw had entirely different personalities and excellence. Unexpectedly, this biological daughter they found was also so beautiful; evidently, the Sutton Family had good genes.

Just as Mrs. Sutton was going to put Thea’s arm into her own elbow, Thea subtly avoided it.

Mrs. Sutton felt a bit disappointed.

Then, looking at Thea’s calm face, she felt this was just right.

After all, Thea had just returned, and she naturally wouldn’t be very familiar with her as a mother.

In fact, Thea was just not used to it. As a candidate for the position of Great National Master, she always paid attention to her demeanor, having developed such habits, and didn’t like being so close to others.

Even if the person in front of her was her biological mother.

The Ford Family’s banquet officially began. As the main figure of the banquet, Old Mr. Ford was unwell and did not appear.

In attendance were Old Mr. Ford’s son, Warren Ford, and Landon Ford.

The appearance of these two immediately drew the eyes of everyone in the crowd.

Warren Ford, in his fifties, was well-preserved and no less than a young man, his handsome features resembling Landon Ford’s, dressed in a black suit, charming, elegant, and approachable, mature and attractive.

Many women in the crowd, though hesitant to be interested in his son, found themselves quite taken with him.

Beside him was Landon Ford, whom Thea had seen and even ’stained’ earlier, standing there with an indifferent and icy smile, his buttons still undone, causing Thea to glance away after just one look.

Even at this kind of occasion today, Landon Ford was so undisciplined, acting on his whims, true to his reputation.

Landon Ford’s gaze swept across, easily spotting that most outstanding girl in the crowd.

With delicate features, a slender swan neck, fair as if graced with a layer of light, she was immediately noticeable in the crowd.

She, of course, dared not look at Landon Ford.

Landon Ford’s lips curled in a smile, making Zia Sutton’s heart tremble.

To make her sister more aware of Landon Ford’s dreadfulness, Zia quietly recounted some stories about the Ford Family.

The Ford Family was the number one household in Aethelgard, with Old Mr. Ford now aged, and the affairs handled by Warren Ford.

Yet Landon Ford actually had quite a tragic life.

He and his father were notoriously at odds, his mother having passed away from illness during his childhood, and Warren Ford having a string of flings over the years. If that weren’t enough, Warren Ford fathered numerous illegitimate children, each eager to stir trouble and vie for a share of the Ford Family’s wealth.

If it weren’t for Old Mr. Ford’s previous protection of Landon Ford, along with Landon’s own volatile temperament, an illegitimate child once emboldened by Warren Ford’s favor had opposed Landon Ford, who then disabled and exiled him overseas, bringing about the current ’peaceful’ state of the Ford Family.
