the two-faced Adopted Girl Who Melted CEO's Ice-Cold Heart-Chapter 989: The Landon Sisters Are Getting Blocked as Soon as I Get Home

The socialites of the Imperial City, witnessing the intimate interaction between Crystal Landon and Major General Shaw, were infuriated to death. They felt that the Landon sisters were too shameless; the elder sister hosted a charity auction, elevated herself above all the other socialites, and won the favor of the noble gentlemen. That was tolerable. But the younger sister, with such a bad reputation, was flaunting her love in front of them, being affectionate with Major General Shaw. Oh my, these sisters are too disgraceful.

When they go back, they must blacklist the Landon sisters! No wait, the younger one had already blacklisted them long ago.

This minor episode passed quickly. Pearl Landon looked somewhat pale as she watched Richard Shaw, who was intimately interacting with Crystal Landon.

A person like him, how could he get so close to an underage girl in public?

After Pearl Landon’s exquisite agarwood was auctioned off, she noticed the socialites were giving her rather odd looks. Yet, she was completely absorbed in the situation with Richard Shaw and Crystal Landon, not concerned about it at all.

The remaining auction didn’t have too many fluctuations. The items everyone brought hovered around the million-dollar mark; anything less would be embarrassing, anything more would attract unwanted attention, especially if those of higher social status brought things not as valuable. That would just be asking for trouble.

Hence, there were guidelines to the auction items.

As the auction neared its end, the socialites noticed Crystal Landon hadn’t presented anything and immediately laughed, "Crystal, your sister brought out exquisite agarwood, surely you must have brought something good too? Why not show it to us?"

Crystal Landon saw that the sister speaking resembled the Winton sisters and realized they came looking for trouble, so she retrieved a pair of wood sculptures she had brought from the attendant.

"This is a pair of celestial boys personally carved by Major General Shaw, made of rosewood. Their value lies in their ability to protect a household. If someone irritates you, you can throw these little celestial boys at them, and I guarantee they won’t dare make a sound, let alone ask you to cover medical expenses. Shaw’s creations are always top-notch; once this opportunity is gone, there won’t be another. If you wish to bid, act quickly." Her lovely face was astonishingly beautiful, holding the two little celestial boys, making them seem to shine in one’s eyes.

The socialites gathered around, asking, "Is this really carved by Major General Shaw? These little celestial boys are so cute." 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢

"I want to buy them, I’ll bid a million."

"I’ll bid two million."

"Don’t fight over it, I’m buying them for real use at home, I’ll bid five million."

Thinking about how the items personally carved by Richard Shaw are unique to the Imperial City, the socialites mused that having anything carved by Major General Shaw is almost like having a protective charm. After all, everyone came with money to spend today, so buying something truly worthwhile rather than expendable items made more sense.

All at once, the seemingly insignificant pair of celestial boy sculptures became an unprecedented hit. The noble scions nearby saw this and discreetly joined the bidding war, after all, the Shaw Family had been low-key for years, making it hard to send money their way. This was a perfect opportunity, even to just gain recognition.

"Let’s do it this way, let’s auction the pair of celestial boys separately. Everyone contributes more to charity, accumulating blessings for a peaceful life," Crystal Landon said with a smile.

The crowd, noticing how auspicious her words were, felt that their spending was somehow nobler, and upped their bids even further.

Finally, the pair of celestial boys were purchased separately by a wealthy son from the Starling Family and Pearl Landon.

Mr. Starling’s bid was fifteen million; when the second celestial boy was taken by Pearl Landon for eighteen million, all the socialites angrily wanted to leave.
