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

Chapter 413: Meeting Jesse Jennings Face to Face

Of course, Regina Shelby’s patrons have much more than this amount of money.

But in Regina Shelby’s hands, it’s different.

Besides, even if the patrons don’t take it back, there are plenty of others who want it.

No wonder Regina Shelby is in such a hurry to flee.

Thea Shaw was suddenly struck by a thought and said, "You don’t have to worry about Jesse Jennings for now, I’ll go meet him."

After Regina Shelby was declared dead, since the police knew she had her fortune told, this information must have been leaked by Jesse Jennings.

But since Jesse Jennings didn’t appear that day, if she went directly, it would catch him off guard.

Moreover, now that Landon Ford suddenly mentioned the billions, Thea Shaw is suspicious whether Jesse Jennings and the others, in their haste to push someone forward, not only want to prove Regina Shelby is dead but also know about the billions?

And not only did Thea Shaw tell Regina Shelby’s fortune, but she’s also a business competitor of The Aetherium Sect—at least that’s how Mark Moody sees it.

Not only can they figure out how to get this money, but they can also offer Thea Shaw up to the police as a scapegoat, making the police focus on Thea Shaw, the conspicuous ’fortuneteller,’ thus ignoring the investigation into the money laundering and large sums linked to Regina Shelby. Truly, it’s a plan that kills two birds with one stone.

Landon Ford mused for a moment, "You’re going over there?"

Thea Shaw: "Yes, if I’m lucky, I might just catch him and Mark Moody discussing the next plan together."

Landon Ford had sent someone over, but in front of the police, it wasn’t about directly grilling Jesse Jennings for answers, but subtly making him realize something was amiss.

Since Thea Shaw intended to go herself, Landon Ford had the people withdrawn and instead monitored the whole agency behind the scenes.

Thea Shaw took a taxi to Regina Shelby’s agency.

Her company had thrived in the industry thanks to her, becoming one of the top enterprises. And due to Regina Shelby’s uniqueness and her fame, the company had long revised the contract with her, preventing Regina Shelby from leaving for many years.

Jesse Jennings worked here.

Ever since they desperately announced Regina Shelby’s ’death,’ every department in the company has been frantically busy.

With the news exploding on Weibo, the company’s phones were also inundated, with countless inquiries about the incident, and they even had to face the angry outbursts of partners.

With someone’s death comes a series of financial losses, who can truly stay calm?

And genuinely feeling sorrowful for Regina Shelby’s death are probably only her fans.

Jesse Jennings sat in his office, his expression dark.

They announced this plan in the early hours, since Regina Shelby didn’t dare show her face, they decided she wouldn’t be able to.

The corpse was of course an imposter; Jesse Jennings didn’t know how Mr. Moody managed to fool the police into believing it was Regina Shelby’s.

Facing the police questioning, Jesse Jennings, following Mr. Moody’s orders, inadvertently leaked the name of the fortune teller Thea Shaw to the police, which indeed caught their attention.

The fact that Regina Shelby disappeared soon after having her fortune told indeed cast a large shadow of suspicion on her.

Yet today, while handling countless calls, some of the information from a few calls left Jesse Jennings feeling uneasy.

And at this moment, Regina Shelby’s former assistant entered with an odd look: "Brother Jennings, there’s a very beautiful woman outside who wants to see you."

"Beautiful woman?" Jesse Jennings frowned, "Didn’t she say who she is?"

The assistant said, "Just one look and she seems ethereal, she said her surname is Thea, and you know her."

Jesse Jennings’s face suddenly turned dark.
