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

Chapter 404: Jesse Jennings

Since there wasn’t enough evidence, the two police officers didn’t take Thea Shaw back for questioning.

The contents of the recording were beyond belief.

Thea Shaw knew Regina Shelby would meet with trouble, so how did she judge that?

Here, Thea Shaw patiently repeated, "I’m a fortune teller. Even if I explained it, you wouldn’t understand the principles. It’s that simple. She came to me for a lifeline, and I pointed her in a direction, but it wasn’t a hundred percent certain. Now that she’s dead, I understand why I’m a suspect. But I’m not the only one who read her fortune, so I hope you treat everyone equally."

"..." The two police officers were a bit surprised to hear this news, "Someone else gave Regina Shelby a fortune reading?"

After all, in the recording, Regina Shelby didn’t mention this matter.

Thea Shaw nodded, "I admit, this is my speculation, but I think Regina Shelby’s agent should know about this. My reputation in the industry isn’t prominent. Regina Shelby wouldn’t place all her hopes on me alone. She must have consulted others and compared them, only to find out I was the most effective."

Officer: "..."

How could you claim to be effective when the person is dead?

The female officer reminded Thea Shaw with difficulty, "But Miss Shelby is already dead."

Thea Shaw suddenly curled her lips, "Are you sure?"

The two officers suddenly shuddered.

Thea Shaw knew at first glance at the photo that Regina Shelby wasn’t dead.

This was a conspiracy aimed at her.

Thea Shaw took a sip of the milk the servant had poured for her and said slowly, "If Regina Shelby suddenly disappears, what will be the result? I saw the content on Weibo last night. She had several endorsements and announcements pending, including movie and drama contracts. If she goes missing, the company can’t explain, and the breach of contract fees would be astronomical."

Thea Shaw smiled, "But if she’s dead, wouldn’t that solve everything?"

With her dead, all the partners could only consider themselves unlucky.

Even if the company has to compensate, it’s not the same amount.

The male officer found it hard to believe her speculation, "But we..."

The female officer immediately nudged him.

As police officers, they had seen Regina Shelby’s body, but the forensic report hadn’t come out yet.

The news they received was ahead of time, and among those who had contact with Regina Shelby, Thea Shaw was the most prominent and unusual.

So it was somewhat unreasonable for them to be the first to be sent to interrogate Thea Shaw.

Thea Shaw continued to smile without saying a word.

The female officer stood up, "We’ve got most of what we need. Thank you, Miss Shaw, for your cooperation. However, in the near future, we may visit you at any time. We hope Miss Shaw can temporarily stay in Aethelgard. Sorry for any inconvenience."

As long as there’s no conclusive evidence, even a suspect like Thea Shaw still has basic human rights.

They had to be courteous.

Thea Shaw nodded, "I understand."

She stood up, had the servant see the guests out, and when everyone had left, the smile on her face gradually disappeared.

This was different from previous matters.

Framing someone and then trying to pin it on her? Did they think she was easy to deal with?

Thea Shaw curled her lips and made a phone call to Marcus Lynch.

"Mr. Lynch, may I ask, who has been the person Regina Shelby trusts the most all these years?"

The whole circle exploded early this morning, and receiving Thea Shaw’s call, Marcus Lynch paused for a moment and instinctively answered, "Her agent, Jesse Jennings?"
