the two-faced Adopted Girl Who Melted CEO's Ice-Cold Heart-Chapter 1014: Don’t Touch Her, or She’ll Cling to You
Pearl Landon’s face froze, then she struggled to sit up and cried with tears streaming down, "I drank, so what, we’re sisters, I know you’ve always liked pulling pranks."
This one sentence almost branded Crystal Landon as malicious.
If it were before, Crystal might still have harbored some illusions, but seeing Pearl slander her the moment she woke up, she suddenly felt it was laughable — after all these years, had she not seen through it yet?
"Why would I want to harm you? Because I’m jealous of your status at home, that our parents love you and not me? Or because you like my fiancé, and for the sake of sisterhood, I come up with ways to ruin my own reputation, so our parents will have you marry into the Shaw Family in my place?" Crystal Landon sneered, her words causing everyone’s expressions to change. This situation seemed a bit complicated.
Pearl’s face instantly turned pale. She had no idea when Crystal became so eloquent, and why did everyone look at her so strangely?
Pearl glanced at Richard Shaw and found his handsome face was very cold, his deep eyes were on Crystal, not her. She panicked. Why was this different from what was expected? Crystal’s reputation was so bad, and she was the victim, so why didn’t anyone believe her? 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂
"Crystal, I don’t understand anything you’re saying," Nova Howard scratched her head and said weakly, "Weren’t you always fond of Major General Shaw, why let your sister marry instead?"
Crystal glared at her fiercely, silly girl, the fact that she liked Richard Shaw couldn’t be said, otherwise, wouldn’t Richard have her wrapped around his finger in the future?
Everyone finally understood what was going on. So, the two sisters were scheming over who could marry into the Shaw Family.
As the fiancée of Major General Shaw, of course, Crystal wouldn’t ruin herself, meaning Pearl plotted to poison her and frame her younger sister. Thinking they inadvertently became Pearl’s pawns and were used by her, their expressions turned livid.
Pearl’s face suddenly changed, and she cried out shrilly, "Crystal, even if you want to clear your name, you can’t step on your sister to do it."
She had just woken up, her body weak, and was so infuriated by Crystal that she fainted.
A bit muddled by the confusion, it seemed like Crystal’s reputation was even worse.
"Take her to the hospital first, everyone disperse," Richard Shaw said coldly, ready to carry Pearl to the hospital.
Crystal grabbed his arm, her black and clear eyes looking at him, and said, "Don’t carry her; otherwise, Pearl will cling to you, and there’s no way Grandma will let her into the Shaw Family. Are you going to argue with Grandma?"
Richard paused, a bit surprised she would say such a thing. The man’s handsome, indifferent face slightly darkened, seeing Crystal had already helped Pearl up and called out to Nova Howard, "Nova, come over, let’s get her to the car."
Crystal paused, her pretty little face turned to Richard Shaw and said, "Investigate those two women who slandered me earlier, and tell their families I’ll deal with them later."
As soon as Crystal spoke, those two young ladies rolled their eyes and fainted from fright, though it was unclear if they truly fainted or were faking it.
Suddenly, there were two more people needing to be taken to the hospital.
Alaric Howard and Balthazar Howard, who initially wanted to lend a helping hand, immediately retracted their hands after hearing Crystal’s words. If doing a good deed and sending someone to the hospital got them implicated, Grandma would undoubtedly break their legs at home.
These women didn’t seem to be the sort to take things lightly.
