Chapter 406: Ask Their Sect Members
"How did the matter with Regina Shelby end up on your head? Isn’t she more cautious than that?"
Landon Ford gathered a lot of information and instantly suspected something was off.
He knew Thea Shaw had done a fortune telling for Regina Shelby, but based on the information he had obtained, the matters surrounding her were enough to bring about her destruction. Seeking Thea Shaw’s fortune telling was surely about this matter, and Regina Shelby had no reason to expose it.
Now that the police had turned to Thea Shaw instead, it proved there was an issue here.
"I suspect it’s her agent’s doing."
That day, she had realized there was more than just Regina Shelby in the room, and now seeing Jesse Jennings’s photo made her even more certain.
She stared at the man in the photo, musing, "Now they probably can’t locate Regina Shelby, they’re desperate."
If Regina Shelby really followed instructions, she wouldn’t have jumped out to deny her own absence, instead, the company would have done her a huge favor.
Anyway, she could find a chance to make a comeback a year later without any impact on her.
"Are they trying to set you up as a target? Is someone against you?"
Landon Ford squinted, speculating on the issue within.
Thea Shaw laughed, "I just did a fortune telling for Regina Shelby and gave some advice. Even if it upset her sponsors, they wouldn’t blame me for it. Fortune telling is known to be nonsense; if this is pinned on me, it’s because of a rival."
This was also why she told the police that someone else might have done a fortune telling for Regina Shelby.
Landon Ford instantly responded, "The Aetherium Sect?"
His voice carried a suppressed dangerous tone.
Someone targeting Thea Shaw was undoubtedly crossing his line.
If someone dared go this far, it was purely suicidal.
"You can’t spread baseless accusations." Thea Shaw widened her eyes to clear her name, "I never said it was The Aetherium Sect!"
How could she claim it was The Aetherium Sect?
Just because they’re the only well-known? That’s jealousy among peers!
"Whether it is or isn’t, we’ll know soon enough."
A target has been set, and a prominent figure stands out.
That would be Regina Shelby’s agent, Jesse Jennings; he’s the biggest breakthrough.
Landon Ford’s eyes turned cold and stern as he said, "You don’t need to worry about this; at the latest, by tonight, I’ll help you find the person behind this."
Thea Shaw: "We shouldn’t make such promises; what if they deny it to the end?"
Landon Ford suddenly chuckled softly, adding a chilling coldness, "What’s more important, life or a tight lip?"
Thea Shaw immediately said, "Don’t do it, Landon, murder is illegal!"
Landon Ford replied, "Nonsense, I’m a law-abiding citizen."
He hung up right after speaking.
Thea Shaw: "..."
This kind of talk was like claiming she’s pure and kind-hearted.
Still, the feeling of having someone backing you up was comforting. At least now, knowing she was being targeted, Thea Shaw didn’t feel panicked.
First, being targeted was already commonplace; this happened often in Qirenia.
Second, the target was too obvious, lacking substantial value.
Thea Shaw wanted to confirm one thing: was the other party really from The Aetherium Sect?
She still had a friend from The Aetherium Sect on her WeChat, and that was Adrian Anson.
He didn’t seem like that type of person, but Thea Shaw was straightforward.
She directly sent a message to Adrian Anson.
Thea Shaw Check Now: [Your sect wouldn’t have people specifically targeting peers, right?]
This question was too blunt.
Given Adrian Anson’s temperament, he should have blushed and refuted.
Instead, he just replied with a string of ellipses.
