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

Chapter 470: New Business

Thea Shaw quickly heard about Nancy Shea finding the whereabouts of an old acquaintance’s remains.

Of course, this was an internal matter of the police station. Nancy Shea, now under police surveillance, could not possibly think about contacting Thea Shaw, who learned about it through Landon Ford’s information.

She specifically made a call to Landon Ford, asking him to keep an eye on Nancy Shea.

"Leo Quinn was a childhood friend of Nancy Shea."

When Thea Shaw asked him to watch Nancy Shea, Landon Ford casually looked into matters surrounding Nancy Shea and was staring at the information for a while. Suddenly, he gave a cold laugh: "He went missing when he was visiting family over twenty years ago. Guess what happened not long after?"

Thea Shaw only knew about Nancy Shea’s announcement to leave the music scene and didn’t know any further details. Now she was curious like a child: "What happened?"

"She left the music scene and married Alex Sherman. Considering her attitude towards Leo Quinn and her persistence in searching for him over the years, do you believe she would completely walk out of the shadow and marry Alex Sherman just a year later?"

Thea Shaw said, "So I suspect Leo Quinn was killed by Alex Sherman."

"But Alex Sherman has an alibi." Landon Ford flipped through the data: "At that time, he didn’t even know Nancy Shea..."

Saying this, he paused abruptly, focusing on a part of the information.

The information on Alex Sherman naturally differed greatly from that of Nancy Shea and the others. Alex Sherman had a well-off family background, his parents were overseas Chinese, and after they passed away many years ago, he chose to return to develop in the country.

So the problem lies here.

The records from twenty-three years ago for Alex Sherman are only abroad, with only some simple descriptions, as if merely to prove that this person had activity traces abroad.

As someone who had lived abroad for a long time, Landon Ford immediately sensed an issue with this information.

Too perfectly precise, yet too detailed.

This information was uncovered by someone from Landon Ford’s intelligence network. The available data can’t be wrong, but...

Landon Ford chose to trust his instincts, smirking, "I think Alex Sherman’s background has secrets."

Thea Shaw, already intent on catching the fortune teller behind Alex Sherman, wasn’t going to overlook even the slightest doubt, so she asked, "Background?"

Landon Ford pondered for a moment, "I’ll need a more detailed investigation, which could take some time."

Thea Shaw considered for a while and sighed, "It’s a pity I’ve been grounded now, otherwise I would have thought of following Nancy Shea to see what’s going on there."

However, after going past, the target would be too big, and with so many things currently on her, it’s unlikely she would be allowed to leave Aethelgard.

"No need to go; I will inform you if anything happens."

After finishing this conversation with Thea Shaw, Landon Ford quickly hung up the phone.

He has too many things to deal with right now and really can’t afford to be sweet-talked with Thea Shaw.

Thea Shaw wasn’t at ease either.

Her relations with colleagues at the office weren’t great; not that she cared, but the work still needed to be done in earnest.

Staring at an array of tedious data all day, Thea Shaw felt she might turn moldy sooner or later.

Surprisingly, the occurrence of so many events significantly elevated Thea Shaw’s notoriety.

She had once read the fortune for Old Master Rhodes and directly found his daughter, who had been missing for decades, which people talked about with gusto. Soon, as her reputation grew, so did business opportunities.

Soon, another person approached Thea Shaw for fortune-telling.

But this business was again rejected by Thea Shaw.
