the two-faced Adopted Girl Who Melted CEO's Ice-Cold Heart-Chapter 1015: Offending One Means Offending Them All

"Crystal Landon’s words make sense." Balthazar Howard patted Richard Shaw’s shoulder and said in a low voice, "Do you know how many women in the Imperial City are fighting to marry you? If you embrace her, the Landon Family will surely send someone else to marry over. By then, the reputation of both families will be tarnished."

Richard Shaw’s gaze deepened, his handsome face turned cold, and he looked indifferently and with a stern expression at the present elite heirs, saying coldly, "I don’t want to hear any rumors about today’s events outside."

The man exuded the iron-blood aura left from his military career, and now he no longer restrained it. Suddenly, it pressed down on everyone so harshly that they could barely lift their heads, feeling as if they were in an icy cave, with the skin all over feeling like it was being sliced by knives, causing them to nod repeatedly in fear.

Once Richard Shaw departed, these elite heirs finally collapsed onto the ground, then quickly got up again and fled the Shaw Family.

"Old Caspian, let’s head back too." Augustus Howard patted Hawk Howard’s shoulder.

Hawk Howard said indifferently, "You guys go back first, I’m going to the hospital."

"Then we’ll go over to have a look too. Qian Qian was taken away by Crystal Landon. Speaking of which, that girl is truly fierce." Drake Howard nodded and said.

After several encounters, Drake Howard felt this girl was genuinely impressive.

Once everyone had dispersed, Mrs. Zhao finally instructed people to tidy up, then she made a call to the old lady, explaining the situation and also informed Crystal Landon was safe and sound.

Upon hearing the news, the old lady became so angry her face turned green, thinking the Landon Family had some nerve, daring to plot against the Shaw Family.

It was said that after Pearl Landon was sent to the hospital, she woke up, then completed the hospitalization procedures and went to get an IV drip and examinations.

When the Landon parents arrived, they saw Pearl Landon lying on the hospital bed, half-dead, while Crystal Landon looked extremely well. Mother Landon immediately felt furious at heart, angrily saying, "Crystal, weren’t you helping your sister prepare the dinner? How did your sister end up like this?"

Since it was still early, just past 9 pm, in Pearl Landon’s ward, the doctor had to keep checking in, so the door remained open.

Richard Shaw and the Howard Family were outside talking, and everyone was initially waiting for the Landon Family to arrive before heading home together. As for how to settle things later, it would be discussed then. However, when the Landon parents arrived, they indiscriminately questioned the eighteen-year-old Crystal, causing everyone to look at each other in astonishment.

Both are daughters of the Landon Family, but why is there such a disparity in treatment?

Richard Shaw’s expression also turned unpleasant; he was usually a person who concealed his emotions, but seeing the young girl getting scolded, he instinctively wanted to pull her out.

Meanwhile, Hawk Howard, already displeased, entered and coldly said, "Crystal, let’s go home."

Mother Landon was questioning Crystal Landon when she saw a tall, young, extraordinarily handsome man walk in, whose face was unfamiliar. She immediately shouted angrily, "Are you one of Crystal’s disreputable friends? You’re not welcome here, hurry up and leave."

It was Hawk Howard’s first time being chased out face-to-face, and he couldn’t be bothered with the Landon Family. He pulled Crystal Landon to leave, while Augustus Howard and Balthazar Howard stepped forward, sneering, "So the Landon Family isn’t welcoming our Howard Family? We’ll definitely inform the old lady when we get back, so as not to run into you in any occasion and offend your eyes."

The Howard Family is notorious for protecting their own, especially the old lady. Even if behind closed doors they’re beaten nearly to death, externally they fiercely defend their own brood. Howard’s children have been taught since childhood that if your brother’s face is slapped, it’s equivalent to your own face being slapped, so generally, the elite families in the Imperial City dare not provoke the Howard Family; offending one is equivalent to offending them all.
