the two-faced Adopted Girl Who Melted CEO's Ice-Cold Heart-Chapter 957: As Beautiful as Crystal Landon Is, Her Reputation Is Equally Rotten

Crystal Landon handed in a blank exam for her college entrance English test and unsurprisingly failed, becoming the laughingstock of Imperial City’s elite circles.

Crystal could easily imagine how those women mocked her behind her back, so she simply turned off her phone and stayed at home every day to escape the noise.

"Crystal, get up, your fiancé is back." Early in the morning, Nova Howard rushed over, pulling her out of bed excitedly, "Major General Richard Shaw is back."

Nova Howard is the sixth-ranked daughter of the Howard Family’s second branch, famously silly in Imperial City. But since the Howards are the elite of the elite, even if this chick is silly, others still praise her.

In fact, Crystal’s acquaintance with Nova was pure accidental.

Nova is the standout among the naive sweethearts. As the sixth Miss of the Howard Family, she is consistently oppressed by the Winton Family sisters, who have a lesser family status than her.

Once, when the Winton sisters cornered Nova at school with several other elite daughters, Crystal happened to pass by. Remembering how Serena Winton had thrown herself at her brother last time, she walked over with a cold smile and promptly dealt with them.

Suddenly, the group of delicate young ladies screamed in fright, not daring to let out a single peeep before miserably running away.

From then on, Nova became her little sidekick, visiting the Landons over ten times this summer alone. Luckily, her parents were off in the United States visiting Pearl Landon, leaving only her brother Clark Landon at home.

Crystal is not a morning person and practically impossible to wake up, except when she hears Richard Shaw’s name, she jumps out of bed within minutes and asks, "Who, who did you say is back?"

Looking at her pure, colorful face, Nova swallowed, wanting to secretly touch her skin, thinking it had practically no pores at all.

Crystal is recognized as a beauty in Imperial City, but the more beautiful she is, the worse her reputation: academic failure, skipping classes, fighting, clubbing, arrogant, and pompous...

However, Nova felt these were all slanders.

"Major General Shaw, my second and third brothers dressed up flamboyantly today to welcome him back," Nova said excitedly, blinking her round eyes, "Now the whole Imperial City knows Major General Shaw is returning."

So the entire Imperial City knew, and she, the fiancée, was the last to know? She felt dumbfounded; last trip to the Shaw Family to visit the old lady, she was told Richard Shaw was on an extended leave. She hadn’t expected he was already back. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢

The marriage arrangement between her and Richard Shaw is well-known in Imperial City.

The Shaw Family, a family with military honors stacked as high as mountains, stands unmatched in Imperial City, and Richard Shaw has been the epitome of an elite since childhood, hailed as the most promising young man of noble descent. Women vying for Richard Shaw could circle the Great Wall multiple times.

Yet such an outstanding and powerful nobleman is engaged to a woman with no skills other than a pretty face and large breasts, thus Crystal was universally despised online.

The thing is, they haven’t had a proper conversation in five or six years, and during the few times they saw each other, that man always looked at her with a scrutinizing gaze. His handsome face bore four words: Don’t come near me.

Crystal is a hopeless face-judger, loving beauty in and of itself, including handsome, aloof, and masculine men like Major General Shaw.

Thus, the colder Richard Shaw was towards her, the more interested Crystal became.
