the two-faced Adopted Girl Who Melted CEO's Ice-Cold Heart Chapter 980: You’d Think It Was Pearl Landon Who Was Marryin

In her heart, everything was as clear as a mirror. The Shaw Family, a prestigious clan, saw Richard Shaw’s parents beco martyrs when he was young. The Shaw enterprise was supported single-handedly by the old lady until Richard grew up and accomplished many military feats in the Military District, sustaining this vast family business.

If such an old lady were kind-hearted, she would’ve been devoured by the prestigious families of the Imperial City and the Shaw family’s collateral branches long ago. The fact that she’s good solely to her made her seem kind.

As for Richard Shaw, although they had been apart for a while, this man was like a rock—stubborn and rigid, controlling a lot, but not with any disdain or resentnt towards her. Crystal Landon felt happy every day she spent at the Shaw Mansion.

Thinking about how the Shaw family’s grandmother and grandson treated her well, she imdiately felt a surge of emotion, hugged Richard Shaw’s arm, and excitedly said: "Richard, I scored 89 on my English test today, praise ."

The smile on her face hadn’t yet faded when she saw Pearl Landon walking out from behind Richard Shaw. With a gentle and affectionate deanor, a hint of a smile graced her features as she wore a shimring pink two-piece long dress, accentuating her slender waist and great figure.

Pearl smiled, "It seems Crystal has genuinely been diligently studying recently. It’s worth it that you took the ti to tutor her. Just make sure to also mind your rest."

Crystal’s smile disappeared, she looked at Pearl without any expression, and said lightly, "Sister, are you here to see , or to take ho?"

Pearl’s expression turned slightly awkward; in fact, she used the excuse of delivering an invitation to co see Richard. She was hosting a small charity sale event on the weekend evening and invited Richard to attend.

It’s been a week since Richard returned to Imperial City, and he hadn’t attended any events. If she could entice the Shaw heir to co, it would not only provide an excellent opening for her re-entry into the elite circle of Imperial City but also earn her a good reputation.

The socialites and heirs in the circle love these charity events, showing off their status and wealth while gaining a supposedly good reputation for charity, killing two birds with one stone.

From start to finish, she hadn’t ntioned Crystal once, leaving Pearl in a slight panic about whether Crystal’s words were intentional or accidental. She feared that Richard would misunderstand that she wasn’t a good sister. And thinking about the four years that haven’t seen each other, the younger sister who used to be clingy and cry easily seed to have beco sowhat inscrutable. On reflection, Pearl thought it was unlikely; Crystal was only eighteen, idle every day, how could she be so perceptive?

On the side, Richard also subtly furrowed his brow. He noticed that Crystal didn’t seem very close to the Landon family mbers, preferring to stay at the Shaw Mansion rather than going back. Moreover, the other day, when Landon parents returned with Pearl, it seed no one paid attention to Crystal throughout?

"So, sister is not here to see ." Crystal said with a pointed smile.

Seeing Pearl’s awkward face, Crystal knew she was here again to undermine her. Between the lines, she seed to care about Richard so much, one would think Pearl was the one about to marry into the Shaw family.

"Crystal, this Sunday evening, I’m organizing a small charity sale. You’re grown-up now, and sooner or later, you’ll be entering the elite circles of Imperial City. You should start building a good image. Co over with Richard on Sunday night," Pearl said quickly, trying to redy.

Crystal’s previous reputation was really bad; even repairing it now seed almost impossible. However, as long as Richard cared for her reputation, he would always bring the little girl along.
