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

Chapter 343: He Already Knew the Truth

Shirley Moss fell silent.

It was clear that her previous thoughts were far removed from those of Thea Shaw and her companions.

Until tonight before she came in, she had been regretting, thinking how great it would be if she hadn’t fallen for Ryan Sinclair.

Then she went even further to blame her past self.

"There’s nothing wrong with loving someone, nothing wrong with liking someone, the wrong ones are those who hurt you. Stand up straight, lift your head, remember, they are the ones at fault, so they should pay the price!"

Shirley Moss repeated dumbfoundedly, "It’s... it’s their fault, so they should pay the price!"

Thea Shaw nodded and patted Shirley Moss on the shoulder, "Don’t worry, my master and I are your support."

Shirley Moss couldn’t help but voice her doubt: "Why... why are you helping me?"

She had been helped before, but after the incident of going to prison, everyone around her distanced themselves.

Everyone thought she was a jinx. No one wanted to be near her, let alone offer her such help.

The two women before her, who she’d only met today, were willing to help her take on a behemoth like the Vanguard Group.

If they had ulterior motives, what could she offer at this point?

"Because you look like an old friend of mine."

Florence Locke didn’t bother to conceal this fact. She picked up a cup of tea, turned her gaze to the window, and sighed softly: "This old friend of mine, I may never see her again in this lifetime. I miss her greatly. You have a face very much like hers, so I don’t wish for you to encounter these troubles, do you understand?"

Shirley Moss was not one to be unnecessarily sensitive. With nowhere else to turn, having someone willing to help her was more than enough.

Looking similar to someone else wouldn’t incite any unpleasant feelings in her; on the contrary, she was very grateful and relieved: "I’m so fortunate to resemble your old friend."

It was only now that she could receive such powerful help.

But she was still worried: "Behind Ryan Sinclair is the Vanguard Group. He is petty and vindictive; he absolutely won’t let us off for today’s two incidents."

"Don’t worry."

Thea Shaw said reassuringly as she looked toward Florence Locke, ready to hear what clever strategy she might have.

Florence suddenly fixed her gaze on Thea Shaw: "Hey, isn’t their current society an information-driven one dominated by opinion? If we expose Sinclair’s affairs, when the public knows, won’t it trigger a stock turmoil for the Vanguard Group?"

"..." Her master has surprisingly thought of such a modern approach.

Shirley Moss, however, was despairing: "It’s impossible. I had also thought about making my wrongful imprisonment public, but all the media fear the Vanguard Group. Even if I register an account myself to expose on Weibo, their PR department would quickly suppress it. In terms of public opinion on the internet, we can’t compete against a behemoth like the Vanguard Group. Moreover, there was already insufficient evidence when I was accused of hitting someone, and Ryan Sinclair was able to force me to confess while making the woman appear spotless."

Florence hesitated for a moment: "I do know some people, just not sure if they could help with such a small favor."

Thea Shaw said: "The best solution would be to bring that woman back, and besides, what you’re saying contradicts what Ryan Sinclair did; he was able to force you to plead guilty, but couldn’t uncover the real truth? So he must have known the truth all along and intentionally let you take the fall. Ryan Sinclair absolutely fabricated false evidence. If we find it, he’ll surely end up in jail as well."
