the two-faced Adopted Girl Who Melted CEO's Ice-Cold Heart-Chapter 990: Lao Xie, Your Fiancée Is Something Else

Obviously, the Shaw young master was trying to curry favor with the Shaw Family and get acquainted, but what does Pearl Landon mean? Her Landon Family doesn’t need to cozy up to the Shaw Family. They’re so familiar, yet she’s competing with them for things.

For a moment, all the women resented Pearl Landon, feeling less negative toward the infamous Crystal Landon, after all, Crystal generously put Major General Shaw’s items up for auction.

When Pearl Landon spent 18 million for the second little celestial boy, her legs became a bit weak. She didn’t have that much money, and undoubtedly would have to go back and ask her mom for it. Yet, considering her parents have always granted her every request, she felt reassured. It was personally carved by Richard Shaw, and the inner joy was intense. She didn’t notice all the socialites distancing themselves from her, with a demeanor of aloofness.

The final winner was Crystal Landon; two little celestial boys were auctioned off for 33 million. Crystal proudly scooted next to Hawk Howard, wagging her little tail. These idiots fought ruthlessly over two shabby wooden carvings. Too bad rare things are precious, otherwise Richard Shaw could carve a hundred or eighty to extort every one of them.

Hawk Howard saw her playfully enjoying herself. She’s a mere eighteen-year-old girl; he winked at her, raised his thumb, hoping she could always remain so innocent and carefree, never knowing hardship or tasting bitterness, and he would be there to help her grow.

"Old Shaw, your fiancée is quite something." Drake Howard said with some amazement, offhandedly, "But has the Landon Family been that wealthy in recent years? Pearl Landon just graduated and returned to the country, spending 20 million in one night including her own purchase of Agarwood?"

Richard Shaw had watched the event from beginning to end. His deep eyes were unfathomably deep, handsome, saying nothing.

He casually carved two wooden sculptures. Now, in Crystal’s hands, they sold for such high prices. Furthermore, she separated two little wooden sculptures for auction without causing any dissatisfaction, knowing they were originally a pair, with even numbers signifying a good omen.

This eighteen-year-old girl either stumbled upon luck or had a sharp mind, controlling people’s hearts to a certain degree.

Richard Shaw squinted, probably the former, since if the girl were truly wise and transparent, her reputation would have been cleared long ago, why is she still notorious online now?

Drake Howard saw him in a daze and tapped him, saying, "Did you hear what I just said? Your family has taken great care of the Landon Family these years, but judging by their flamboyant actions, it might ruin the old lady’s long-term efforts."

This night, Pearl Landon stole the spotlight, likely offending all the socialites present. And the Shaw family’s low profile is known among the nobility of the Imperial City.

Nowadays, among those in high positions in the Military District, at least half have received kindness from the Shaw Family, or shared military camaraderie with two generations of generals from the Shaw Family. Richard Shaw, young as he is, is already a Major General. Such immense power makes it so the Shaw Family is destined not to have too many entanglements with the nobility of the Imperial City.

Even the old Mrs. Shaw and their family’s old lady were intimate friends before marriage; to avoid suspicion, they have deliberately not been frequent companions over the years.

The old lady has traditionally dressed modestly, devoted herself to Buddhism, everything she did was for this grandson.

The Landon Family receiving the Shaw Family’s care yet behaving like this indeed is excessively reckless.

Drake Howard reconsidered Crystal Landon’s notorious reputation, finding her shrewdly strange, somewhat contrary to the rumors.

"I will talk to the old lady about this." Richard Shaw lowered his eyes and stated indifferently.
