Villains Act Shamelessly: The Heiress was the Great National Master!-Chapter 302: How Else Can I Show My Good Intentions If He Doesn’t Get a Longer Sentence?
"It’s hard to say even if we sue."
Mr. Sutton shook his head, not too optimistic about this situation: "The evidence is complete, but with Jared Blair’s connections, this matter is likely to be brushed off by him."
After all, Jared Blair is a businessman with deep ties.
"Yes." Mrs. Sutton sighed: "Even Regina wanted to settle the matter with money immediately. These things... sigh..."
Mrs. Sutton had heard of many similar incidents.
She and Mr. Sutton would never participate in such corruption, and neither would their friends.
Who knew such a scoundrel would appear.
They felt Jared Blair should face consequences, but for Jared Blair’s wife, Regina Chaney, the meaning was different.
Thea Shaw smiled slightly: "You might dodge the first day of the lunar year, but you can’t dodge the fifteenth. Jared Blair’s issue isn’t that simple."
Either he ends up serving a long sentence, which means he committed more than just this one crime.
Or he gets dealt with directly, Jared Blair won’t have a good end.
Thea originally thought it was enough to discuss these matters at home, but unexpectedly, she saw the person involved the next morning.
It was Auntie Chaney, as Mrs. Sutton mentioned.
But it was also the first time Thea felt the need to use some harsh words to express her attitude towards such absurdity.
Early in the morning, Thea came downstairs and saw a well-dressed yet haggard lady in the living room, crying to Mrs. Sutton.
Mrs. Sutton was frowning, looking impatient yet forced to listen.
"Jean, we’ve known each other for over twenty years, twenty years!"
The woman lamented, holding onto Mrs. Sutton’s hand tightly: "Now that this has happened, you can’t just watch as my family falls apart. I can’t lose my husband; my child can’t have a father with such a scandal. She’s still in an elite school. What will she do then? What about me?"
Mrs. Sutton, frustrated with her weakness, shook off her hand: "If it were a company issue, Justin and I wouldn’t hesitate to help you, but now, with this happening, you come to us, don’t you feel guilty saying that?"
Regina Chaney cried: "Justin has many connections, he can find a way to resolve this. I’ve never asked you for anything. Just let Justin help this once. I... I’ll give you 3% of our company’s shares, okay?"
"I don’t need any of that!"
Mrs. Sutton stood up: "This matter is non-negotiable!"
Regina cried again: "Jean, is it because you’ve aligned yourself with the Ford Family that you’re ignoring us now?! Yes, we can’t compare to the Ford Family. You’ve got great skills; bringing back a daughter which directly led to securing the Ford Family’s heir. Obviously, this just needs you to make a call, and with the Ford Family’s intervention, how can’t it be handled? But why won’t you help me?!"
Even if Thea didn’t know who she was before, she understood now.
Mrs. Sutton was so angry her eyes widened, and Thea walked out: "Alright, Auntie Chaney, I’ll help you!"
As soon as Thea said this, both Regina and Mrs. Sutton were shocked.
Mrs. Sutton couldn’t help but raise her voice: "Thea, stop talking nonsense!"
Regina suddenly looked as if she saw a savior, her eyes brightened: "Thea, you’re Thea Shaw? You... you really want to help your aunt?"
"Help, of course!"
Thea smiled brightly: "I feel so bad hearing about this. Who knew one could fix this with connections? I’m just thinking of a way to get Uncle Blair a longer sentence; how else can I show my good intentions?"
Regina Chaney: "..."
