the two-faced Adopted Girl Who Melted CEO's Ice-Cold Heart Chapter 1004: The Prettier the Woman, the Better She Is at L

After the school ceremony, Crystal Landon found herself surrounded by the botherso sugar-coated bombardnt. Every morning she arrived to find her seat piled high with various foods, at least ten different kinds of breakfast, along with a heap of snacks, flowers, love letters, and the most terrifying of all, dolls.

Did she really look like she matched well with dolls?

Although she appeared rather delicate on the outside, this was all a facade, a facade! The real her was the racing goddess of Clear Creek Bay, who played with cars, guns, and bombs! Especially since recently, an uncle had invited a friend to start teaching her to dismantle bombs and landmines. Crystal Landon wanted to tell these adorable classmates, the prettier a woman, the better she is at lying!

Crystal Landon didn’t like snacks, so all these goodies ended up in Nova Howard’s pockets. Nova found there were just too many, and she couldn’t finish them all alone, so she started giving them to anyone she saw, unexpectedly gaining so girls’ friendship. Thus, unknowingly to Crystal Landon, she ford her own little group of superficial friendships.

After the school ceremony, as Richard Shaw’s vacation was only a month, with not much ti left, the socialites of the Imperial City began to stir again.

Major General Shaw was stationed in the Military District, disappearing for years on end. If he left again, which young and beautiful girl could afford to wait? The most anxious among them was Pearl Landon.

She was an elentary school classmate with Richard Shaw, and if he hadn’t skipped grades so rapidly, she might have continued to be in the sa class with him.

Pearl Landon was now 24, in the pri years of a woman’s life. If she waited another two years, her worth wouldn’t be as precious as it is now. After enduring for a week, seeing the days of Richard Shaw’s return to the Military District drawing near, she couldn’t wait any longer and ca to find Crystal Landon.

Crystal Landon had just returned ho from school on Friday, planning to finish her test papers and go to bed early to visit the Shaw Family over the weekend, when she found Pearl Landon and her mother waiting in the living room, which was a rare occurrence.

"Crystal, co over here, Mom has sothing to discuss with you," Mrs. Landon said, smiling from the sofa.

Crystal Landon raised her eyebrows, walked over, and saw Pearl Landon pulling her to sit down, her eyes slightly red as she said, "Crystal, I want to ask you for a favor."

"Okay, tell ," Crystal Landon replied blandly, suspecting this wouldn’t be simple, or else why would both of them co at her?

"Did your sister host a charity sale recently? She accidentally offended so socialites, who are saying they want to visit the Shaw Mansion. You know, the Imperial City’s elite families have complicated relationships, and offending one is like offending many. Your sister hasn’t started discussing marriage yet; if this continues, won’t her marriage prospects be delayed?" Mrs. Landon smiled, "Just as it happens, the day after tomorrow is the fifteenth, and the old lady will be at the temple offering scriptures, not at ho. Could you see if you could ask Major General Shaw to let a few socialites visit the Shaw Mansion?"

"Crystal, I’m begging you, you have to help ," Pearl Landon pleaded, holding her hand earnestly. "As long as you help this ti, I will get you anything you want."

Pearl Landon was truly anxious. The last charity sale had gone very well, and many noble offspring inquired about her afterward, but they were all from backgrounds not very high. In contrast, her reputation plumted in the circle of socialites, and the few she used to get along well with no longer associated with her.

Pearl Landon wasn’t foolish either; she knew she must have offended soone by taking that little fairy’s wood carving. Since they seed so eager to connect with the Shaw Family, she might as well take them to visit the Shaw Mansion. It was just that the one leading them should best be Crystal Landon, after all, she wasn’t very familiar with the Shaw Family and was feeling quite apprehensive inside.
