Villains Act Shamelessly: The Heiress was the Great National Master!-Chapter 319: You Don’t Know Arlo

The news of Arlo’s incident spread like wildfire throughout the upper circles of Aethelgard.

Arlo was the heir of the Davidson conglomerate family, and since the Davidson Group had business relations with many domestic groups, they were all familiar with each other.

When the heir has an accident, it means a significant turmoil within the Davidson Group is inevitable in the short term.

At the same time, everyone speculated on how the incident could have suddenly occurred.

Only a few who knew the inside details could guess a bit of the truth.

As a member of the Storm Vortex, Landon Ford, upon receiving news of Arlo’s incident, had to admit even he was quite shocked.

If Arlo had targeted Thea Shaw, Landon would have unhesitatingly intervened.

But even for him, it required meticulous planning. He had to bribe someone close to Arlo and wait for the right moment; it was not something that could be done lightly.

Thea had requested horoscopes yesterday, and today there was an incident.

For a moment, Landon considered that if he hadn’t taken a liking to Thea initially, what if they became enemies in the future...

Hiss!

Despite appearing gentle and meek normally, she showed no mercy when acting decisively.

The man took a deep breath and quickly realized that, even if no one knew, Brooke and Silas still needed a heads-up.

He thought for a while and decided to use the visit to Aurora Sutton at the hospital as a pretext to meet Thea Shaw.

Thea had been by Aurora’s side at the hospital these past few days.

Aurora needed to recuperate and had taken a month’s leave from school for rest.

The Sutton Family had also received the news, but now that Benson Abbott had returned to the country, they had people stationed in Aethelgard, so the Elder Kensingtons didn’t dare visit Aurora and could only watch her tearfully over video calls.

Aurora comforted them, saying it was not a big issue, just a scare, and that the culprit had been dealt with.

The problem was, they would surely ask who the culprit was.

Aurora only knew it was because of her, but hadn’t been told specifics by Thea Shaw yet.

She said the investigation wasn’t thorough yet but assured them it was fine to avoid worrying the elders.

After hanging up, as Thea Shaw came to see her, Aurora quickly stood up and asked, "Thea, was it someone behind Iris Knight who acted?"

The Arlo situation was rampant with gossip, but for those unaware, no one knew why it had happened, let alone implicating the Sutton Family.

Thea sat beside her with a faint smile, tucked Aurora’s blanket corner, and said, "Do you know Arlo Davidson?"

"The heir of the Davidson family?" Aurora, frequently abroad, had picked up knowledge about the world’s top heirs from her circle.

"It was him who targeted you."

At this, Aurora was indeed stunned: "But I... I don’t even know him!"

"It’s okay if you don’t know him; it’s enough that Iris Knight does."

Aurora’s mouth dropped open. 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

She suddenly understood, with an incredulous tone: "Is he Iris’s boyfriend?"

Thea nodded: "So you see, this woman is quite skilled."

"What should we do?" Aurora’s voice was tinged with a slight sob: "Our family, how could we have offended them? It’s all my fault, if I hadn’t entertained Iris Knight back then, our family wouldn’t have..."

"I told you, this has nothing to do with you," Thea patted Aurora’s hand: "I’ve already handled it. What you need to do is to act as if you don’t remember this, and that you don’t know Arlo, isn’t that right?"
