the two-faced Adopted Girl Who Melted CEO's Ice-Cold Heart Chapter 1025: Second Wave of Face-Slapping

The elderly lady of the Shaw Family, who once exuded an aura of elegance and vigor, looked coldly at the indifferent family of three and said, "The account between Crystal Landon and your Landon Family has been settled. Now, it’s ti for you to settle the debts with our Shaw Family."

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Landon was taken aback and asked, "What account?"

The old lady took out her reading glasses and opened the old ledger that had been kept for fifteen years, saying blandly, "Mrs. Zhao, read it to them."

Mrs. Zhao, with a serious expression and an unhurried tone, said, "In the first year Miss Crystal Landon was fostered by the Landon Family, the old lady and Mr. Landon signed an agreent. The content is as follows: The Shaw Family would pay one million annually for Miss Crystal Landon’s living expenses until she turned eighteen and married into the Shaw Family. Miss Crystal Landon was fostered at age three in the Landon Family, totaling fifteen million. This was a one-ti bank transfer with signatures, fingerprints, and a notary."

As Mrs. Zhao read the first item on the agreent, Mr. Landon’s face turned ashen. He finally rembered that sothing like this did happen over a decade ago; he used that fifteen million elsewhere, and only he knew about it.

Mrs. Landon’s expression imdiately froze, and she grabbed Mr. Landon furiously, saying, "What did you do with the fifteen million back then? Why did I not know about this?"

"Let go, you crazy woman, we’ll talk about this at ho," Mr. Landon said, his face livid.

The plot suddenly took a downturn, and Crystal Landon was utterly stunned. Foster care? What foster care? Wasn’t the Landon Family her family? Why was there such an agreent for foster care? An annual living expense of one million?

anwhile, Pearl Landon widened her eyes, realizing that Crystal Landon was indeed not her biological sister.

"This is the first agreent." Mrs. Zhao set down the agreent and picked up the ledger, continuing to read, "In the second year of foster care, Mr. Landon claid business failure and ca to the Shaw Family to borrow five million notes. In the sa year, Mrs. Landon wanted to attend a dinner party and borrowed a pair of Imperial Green erald bracelets from the old lady but did not return them, valued at eight million. In the fourth year, Mr. Landon was deeply involved in a real estate scandal and sought help from the Shaw Family, which smoothed the situation by sending out a Qing dynasty rare painting valued at ten million. In the fifth year."

The amounts accumulated terrifyingly each year; with each sentence Mrs. Zhao read, the faces of the Landon Family paled more, especially Mr. and Mrs. Landon. Over the years, they habitually freeloaded off the Shaw Family.

Mrs. Landon often borrowed jewelry treasures and didn’t return them, but all were treasures, with docunted origins, impossible to deny. Mr. Landon was even more prone to borrow money; every ti the old lady was cheerful and never asked for repaynt, only for an IOU. Seeing that they weren’t urged to repay, Mr. Landon was indifferent, IOUs were made, money kept borrowing.

Never could they have imagined the amounts reached such a terrifying level over fifteen years.

"The ledger recorded by the old lady has IOUs, fingerprints, and notes. Over the years, Mr. Landon borrowed a total of three billion five hundred million from the Shaw Family, and Mrs. Landon borrowed items valued at roughly five hundred million, which amounts to exactly four billion," Mrs. Zhao continued expressionlessly, "Adding the first agreent of fifteen million, excluding the one billion paid by the old lady for Miss Crystal Landon’s fostering over the years, Mr. and Mrs. Landon still need to pay the Shaw Family three billion one hundred fifty million. The old lady intends to overlook the interest considering the years of acquaintance; you shall repay now."

The last four words were spoken with resounding intensity.
