the two-faced Adopted Girl Who Melted CEO's Ice-Cold Heart-Chapter 1024: Does Money Grow on Trees for Old Madam?

Crystal Landon took a sip of hot tea, feeling her body gradually awaken. Over there, Mr. and Mrs. Landon had already discussed how much money they wanted from the Shaw Family.

Mr. Landon kept a straight face, not saying a word.

Mrs. Landon smiled wryly and said, "Crystal’s monthly expenses for living, food, and drink are estimated at one hundred thousand; over eighteen years that would be around twenty-one million six hundred thousand. Adding up various expenses over the years, it needs fifty million, and coupled with the effort in upbringing, all in all, one hundred million."

Before Mrs. Landon’s words fell, Crystal Landon had already gasped, tightly clutching the cup in her hands. The Landon Family hadn’t even spent one hundred million for all of them eighteen years ago! Did she think her money came from the wind?

The old lady remained unfazed, nodding her head, gestured to Mrs. Zhao to bring out a prepared agreement, saying, "This is the agreement. The old lady will pay this one hundred million for Miss Landon, and thereafter Miss Landon will have no relation with the Landon Family."

It could be called a severance letter, but the wording was quite particular, specifying that Crystal Landon was fostered in the Landon Family for eighteen years, the Shaw Family agreed to pay one hundred million to repay the nurturing favor, and from then on Crystal Landon had no ties to the Landon Family.

In this way, Crystal Landon’s reputation remains intact, for regardless of right or wrong, being forced to sever ties with her parents, once spread, would damage her reputation. Additionally, it was deliberately stated that Crystal Landon was fostered in the Landon Family, hence, the Landon Family could no longer use familial ethics for moral coercion.

Mr. and Mrs. Landon looked at the agreement, only seeing the one hundred million payment part, overlooking the details, they glanced over it and almost grinned with joy. Having raised her for so many years without much care, instantly exchanged for one hundred million, this deal was indeed lucrative.

While Mr. and Mrs. Landon were feeling pleased, Pearl Landon watched from the side, saying nothing. Previously, she had some affection for this sister and thought their parents’ actions improper, but after last night’s incident, having been humiliated by Crystal Landon and the Shaw Family, she was somewhat numb.

Anyway, she was not going to work out with Richard Shaw, and as for Crystal Landon being kicked out of the house, it was just as well, saving her the discomfort of seeing her.

"If there’s no issue after reading, sign your names and fingerprint," the old lady said calmly, "One hundred million is indeed a large amount, even banks can’t transfer so much cash, I’ll give you an IOU, withdraw ten million per day."

Mr. and Mrs. Landon thought about it, it was indeed so, moreover, the Shaw Family was a prestigious family, couldn’t possibly flee, thus they agreed.

Both parties signed the agreement, fingerprinted, then the old lady issued the IOU.

The tea in Crystal Landon’s cup gradually cooled, a man’s warm, dry hand tightly gripped her wrist, preventing her from stepping forward. His handsome face showed not a hint of expression, from start to finish never uttered a word, letting the old lady handle everything.

Once all was done, Mr. Landon felt a bit uneasy, wanting to leave early, Mrs. Landon then gave Crystal Landon a wry look, saying, "Crystal, you must be obedient in the Shaw Family." 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺

All the blood in Crystal Landon’s body froze into ice, she didn’t even glance at her so-called biological parents. What she owed to the Shaw Family, she probably couldn’t repay in this lifetime, she could only marry Richard Shaw and toil like a horse.

Even after repaying one hundred million, it couldn’t settle the debt of gratitude.

After Mrs. Landon finished speaking, she was about to leave, the old lady watched the faces of this family trio, then coldly said, "Mrs. Zhao, bring over the account book for the past fifteen years."

"Alright, old lady." Mrs. Zhao laid the account book prepared earlier in front of the old lady.
