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

Chapter 396: Sarcastic and Odd

Landon Ford got off work and brought Thea Shaw to the nursing home to visit the old man whom he hadn’t seen in a long time.

This was their second meeting, but Thea already behaved as if she was quite familiar.

Upon seeing the old man, she obediently called out, "Hello, Grandpa Ford."

The old man smiled kindly. Having stayed in the nursing home for a long time, he was calm and appeared increasingly kindly, except for that distinctive aura, he wasn’t much different from any other old man.

"It’s kind of you to come and see me."

The old man grabbed Landon Ford’s hand and started belittling Warren Ford: "He’s nothing like my ungrateful son! It’s been a year, and I haven’t even seen him!"

Landon Ford pressed his lips into a faint smile. To demonstrate his ’filial piety’, he rarely spoke up for Warren Ford: "Dad is just busy with work, that’s all."

The old man snorted coldly: "What’s more important than me, his father?"

He patted Landon Ford’s hand, speaking earnestly: "At least my grandson is filial."

The old man’s bodyguard nearby had long grown tired of speaking. Warren Ford had come to see the old man before his last overseas trip.

And when Warren Ford had his last car accident, the old man hadn’t visited him, only made a phone call to express his concern.

Between father and son, it’s hard to say who’s more heartless.

Although Thea Shaw knew that Landon Ford genuinely cared for the old man, observing the situation, she understood that Landon Ford probably frequently set traps for Warren Ford with the old man — Warren Ford only had himself to blame for his behavior.

If he’d lived up to his masculine responsibilities, the old man wouldn’t favor Landon Ford so much.

Thea Shaw stepped forward with a bright smile: "Grandpa Ford, today Landon and I came to see you, and Landon plans to cook for you, to show off his skills."

"Oh, really?" The old man beamed with joy: "Great, great, it’s been a long time since I tasted my grandson’s cooking. I knew it, if it weren’t for you accompanying him today, would this rascal have the leisure to come cook for me?!"

"Is that so." Landon Ford rarely showed a sincere smile: "If I had time, wouldn’t I come to see you? You know about my dad at the company..."

Landon Ford suddenly revealed a look of wistfulness: "He always thinks I’m not good enough."

Thea Shaw: "..."

This was true, but Landon Ford’s tone...

Suddenly elevated the seriousness of the situation.

As expected, the old man got angry: "That ungrateful son! He just keeps giving you work! Who does he think he is! Get me the phone, I want to call that ungrateful son!"

The bodyguard obligingly handed over the phone, and had already dialed.

The old man took the phone, Landon Ford went to cook, and Thea Shaw sat aside listening to the old man passionately berating Warren Ford on the phone.

Warren Ford completely lost his arrogant attitude that he usually had in front of Thea Shaw and Landon Ford. On the phone, his voice was unclear, but through the old man’s words, one could imagine Warren Ford’s sheepish demeanor.

After hanging up, Warren Ford, far away abroad, wore a grim expression: "That brat must’ve gone to see my dad again?"

The secretary glanced at the message from home, head lowered, obedient: "Yes, and brought Miss Shaw along."

Warren Ford’s face stiffened for a moment.

His first thought was whether this phone call had been overheard by that girl capable of extorting him?

Where is his dignity!

Warren Ford clutched his chest, gasped, and waved his hand: "This won’t do, continuing like this will only be harder for me, I must rush back home!"

The secretary immediately said: "I’ll go arrange to expedite your upcoming work schedule right away."
