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

Chapter 417: Absolutely Flawless

Adrian nodded in agreement, "Yes."

Mark Moody nodded with a smile, "Nephew came to visit me today, it seems you’re not just here to ask about Ms. Shelby, are you?"

Adrian opened his mouth, thinking of finding a suitable excuse, when Mark Moody’s secretary came in looking panicked.

"Something’s wrong, Director Moody, there are two police officers outside saying they need to ask you some questions."

Having the police show up wasn’t entirely unusual, but for them to directly state it was related to Regina Shelby upon their arrival was unexpected.

The news of Regina Shelby’s death today had already spread like wildfire, how could the secretary not overthink?

Mark Moody hadn’t foreseen this, causing his expression to freeze for a moment.

He quickly returned to normal, his smile unchanged, "Let them in."

Then he looked at Adrian, "Nephew, it seems I have some issues to attend to here and can’t entertain you."

Adrian hadn’t expected Thea Shaw to act so swiftly, he showed a puzzled expression, "Uncle Moody, why are the police looking for you?"

Mark Moody said, "Perhaps it’s about some company issues, happens all the time, nothing major, you know how it is running a company, checks happen now and again."

Although he could tell from the secretary’s face that the matter wasn’t simple, Mark Moody hadn’t yet thought it was related to Regina Shelby.

"Well then, Nephew, if you don’t mind, you can wait in the reception room for a while. We can grab a meal later, it’s been a long time since we last met."

After saying this, Mark Moody had someone escort Adrian to the reception room.

Adrian caught a glimpse of the two officers in uniform entering Mark Moody’s office, the door closing behind them.

Adrian lowered his head to send Thea Shaw a WeChat message: [How did you move so quickly?]

Thea quickly replied: [Why, the police have reached Mark Moody? You’re getting your news fast too.]

Jesse Jennings had mentioned in front of her that Mark Moody had Regina Shelby’s fortune read, wouldn’t the police treat everyone equally?

Thea had asked, so there was no reason not to find Mark Moody.

Adrian replied: [I happened to be here when the police arrived, I guess it’s related to Regina Shelby.]

Thea Checker echoed: [What are you doing there? You’re not tipping off Mark Moody, are you?]

Adrian: [No, I just thought about telling you about his affairs, which doesn’t quite align with our sect’s doctrines, I’m not feeling at ease, came to take a look.]

Thea Checker echoed: [Brilliant, you’re really like a Bulbasaur eating a Crunchy Chip inside Mickey’s Funhouse, this is fantastic.]

Adrian: [...]

He didn’t quite understand what Thea meant.

After finishing her message with Adrian, Thea didn’t leave Jesse Jennings. She looked up at Jesse Jennings with a smile, "The police went to Mark Moody, you’ve done well."

Jesse Jennings was sweating, how much time had passed?

Given the speed at which the police reached Mark Moody, they must have just arrived, yet Thea already received the news, could there be an informant next to Mark Moody?

Thinking this, Jesse Jennings once again regretted his ignorance.

How had he previously considered such a terrifying person easy to deal with?

Jesse Jennings realized he must have already offended Mark Moody, considering he was the only one aware of this matter.

Feeling uneasy, he mumbled to himself, "If Mr. Moody calls me..."

Thea gave him a light glance, "He won’t call because he knows you’ve been exposed here, he wouldn’t be foolish enough to come and question you."
