the two-faced Adopted Girl Who Melted CEO's Ice-Cold Heart-Chapter 986: Your Sister and Your Fiancé Seem Very Close

Richard Shaw, this person, uses silence and indifference to conceal the cruelty and brutality within his bones. His prestige in the Military District is even higher than his father’s, and this man is only in his twenties. It is foreseeable that by the time he is forty, he will likely become an Admiral or even achieve higher honors, reaching a position where a single command could leave corpses strewn for miles.

He is too calm and too cold. From a young age, he has always known what he wants. He is really not at all suited for the carefree and unrestricted Crystal Landon.

While Hawk Howard was scrutinizing Richard Shaw, Richard was also scrutinizing this man who was exceptionally close to Crystal Landon.

It seems the two should be very familiar friends, Crystal Landon is quite accepting of his touch.

The man’s face darkened slightly; it seems he still needs to instill some notions of gender relations in her.

"Old Richard, what are you looking at?" Drake Howard just returned from a group of charming debutantes, a soothing smile still on his face. Beauties are indeed eye-catching, but just for looking; if you really marry them, they might turn into shrews in less than two years.

"Do you know that man?" Richard Shaw glanced sideways, asking in a low voice.

Drake Howard saw Hawk Howard standing beside the infamous Crystal Landon, even patting her head, and was shocked, wishing he could rush forward and tug at his ear. The official fiancé is right here, has he lost his mind? Besides, Crystal is beautiful but who dares to marry her?

"That’s my third uncle’s kid, Hawk Howard," Drake Howard said in a low voice, "The old lady adores her grandson Ignatius Leclair, but she also dotes on him the most. This kid is quite strong-willed."

Richard Shaw’s deep eyes turned to Drake Howard, waiting for him to continue.

"After my third uncle passed away, my third aunt remarried and moved to the United States, taking him with her. Over the years, the old lady has been eagerly waiting for him to return. This kid is very impressive, he got his Ph.D. from Massachusetts Tech in the toughest bioengineering field. The academic stuff he studies, I don’t really understand." Drake Howard scratched his head, laughing awkwardly, "Comparing oneself to others is quite frustrating. The key is, this kid is quite haughty, an outlier in the Howard Family, and we brothers can hardly control him, plus he has the old lady’s protection." 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚

"I’ll go home and give him some guidance. It’s possible he doesn’t know that Crystal Landon is your fiancée," Drake Howard said, laughing sheepishly, "You mustn’t hit him, after all, the old lady pities him for losing his father at such a young age."

When Drake Howard spoke these words, he couldn’t take them back, nearly biting his own tongue in regret. Richard Shaw lost his parents when he was seven; in comparison, at least their fourth had the comfort of a mother.

Richard Shaw nodded indifferently and said, "Your family’s old lady values reputation a lot. Even if Crystal Landon likes him, she can’t marry into the Howard Family."

Returning to the Imperial City for seven or eight days, especially today, after attending Pearl Landon’s charity auction, Richard Shaw once again realized the vast difference in the reputations of the Landon sisters.

Drake Howard was a bit puzzled by his words and asked quietly, "If reputation wasn’t a concern, would you still let her marry someone else? You can’t find a better looker than Crystal in the Imperial City."

"Richard, you’ve come over?" Mid-sentence, Pearl Landon happened to come over, exclaiming in some surprise.

The two of them thus covered up their previous conversation and brought it to an end.

"What are you looking at?" Crystal Landon took a sip of the red wine she chose and slapped his hand away. She’s not a child, who’s still patting heads.

"Watching your sister with your fiancé, they seem quite close," Hawk Howard said blandly, nodding in Richard Shaw’s direction.
