Villains Act Shamelessly: The Heiress was the Great National Master!-Chapter 264: Taking Over the Pig Farm

If Delia Darden’s mother could see her, she would surely give her a sidelong glance.

Then she’d sigh and say, "Who knows, right? Just last year there was a fiasco. The pork market was doing so well, who could have known something like this would happen nearby?"

Delia initially wanted to say that matters involving that relative’s family had nothing to do with her. Her second uncle was on good terms with them, and she’d help if there were difficulties, but her mother hadn’t mentioned that her second uncle was in such trouble that he needed aid.

Hearing there was a pig farm to be sold, Delia felt a sudden jolt, reminded of what Thea Shaw had said.

[You have a connection with animals, but you need to seize the opportunity yourself; if you can’t, it’s useless.]

Could it really be that coincidental?

Besides, raising pigs is...

Well, pigs are animals too...

On a whim, Delia blurted out, "How much does Uncle intend to sell it for, and is he not going to farm anymore?"

"Who knows, depends on the situation. For such a large pig farm, it would cost at least a few million. Your second uncle said after selling it he probably won’t stay in this business since the future’s uncertain."

"Maybe I should..."

Delia hesitated. A few million wasn’t a small amount to her at that moment.

She’s a celebrity but not very famous, her savings amount to tens of millions, yet her expenses are equally large. Not sure whether it was psychological or for another reason, Delia said, "Maybe I should take over from Uncle? I’m idle anyway, consider it an investment, hasn’t the pork market been doing well in recent years?"

"..."

Delia’s mother was silent for a full three minutes, then said, "Are you out of your mind?"

Delia: "..."

Marcus Lynch: [That’s the gist of it.]

Indeed, Delia Darden spent five million to take over that pig farm from her second uncle.

It shocked her second uncle and her whole family.

Marcus Lynch: [I thought she was joking, but then I saw her researching postnatal care for sows the other day and even hired a few experts to return to her hometown to check on the pigs...]

The eerie and spine-chilling level was no less than any horror movies Marcus had seen. 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺

A perfectly fine celebrity, had her fortune told, and went mad just like that.

Thea chirped in: [You don’t get it; she’s good at seizing opportunities. What if she gets rich from this? Pig farming might earn her as much as her entertainment career.]

Marcus Lynch: [...]

He didn’t respond anymore, probably too shaken up.

Thea Shaw also found Delia to be quite a character.

If something happened to the show’s director, she thought Delia might really just go back and raise pigs...

She did divine that Delia had a connection with animals but didn’t expect her to go as far as inheriting a pig farm.

Anyway, Delia is someone poised for big things!

She’s truly overqualified for the entertainment industry.

It took Marcus Lynch a while to finally send another message.

Marcus Lynch: [If Delia does get rich, I’ll definitely make your name known throughout the entire entertainment industry.]

Who can be as brilliant as Thea, reversing a life like that?

But maybe it’s not that simple, given that Delia took over a pig farm suspected of having swine fever, something even her second uncle couldn’t sell. There’s a high probability it will flop.

Anyway, as Marcus sees it, both her and Thea seem risky.

Even if Delia doesn’t believe, her actions are confusing.

Speaking of the TV drama, Thea was interested enough to look up and watch some trailers.
