the two-faced Adopted Girl Who Melted CEO's Ice-Cold Heart-Chapter 1026: You’ll Never Have to Suffer as a Dependent Again
The Shaw Family living room was deathly silent.
Crystal Landon didn’t know how to react, her body a little unsteady, firmly supported by Richard Shaw beside her. The man’s palm was scorching and powerful, heating her to a slight tremble. It turned out she wasn’t from the Landon Family; she had always been the child fostered by the old lady in the Landon Family. No wonder the old lady had treated her so well over the years, and no wonder the Landon Family had always been distant, never close.
Her eyes turned slightly red, thinking of how much money the old lady had spent on her over the years. She didn’t know what to say, so she could only cling tightly to Richard Shaw’s large hand, trying to draw a bit of strength.
After a brief shock, Mrs. Landon suddenly grabbed Mr. Landon’s head, hitting and shouting, "Where did you squander all that money? Answer me."
Mr. Landon’s face bore scratch marks, and he pushed her away angrily, "I invested it in business. Do you think it’s easy to run a business these days, supporting you money-wasting women? You’re all useless."
"I’ll fight you to the death," Mrs. Landon cried hysterically as she climbed up, ready to fight him.
The guards at the Shaw Mansion had been waiting outside all along and quickly pulled the two apart.
The old lady lifted her chin, stood up, and addressed the ungrateful bunch coldly, "Don’t dirty my house. Go make a scene at home. If you can’t pay your debts, just mortgage the company."
Mrs. Zhao came forward to support the old lady, speaking softly, "Mrs. Landon, the old lady is helping you for the last time. Over the years, Mr. Landon has kept four to five young mistresses, all of whom are young and beautiful college students, and even had a son. Supporting them costs quite a lot of money."
Once Mrs. Zhao finished speaking, Mrs. Landon went hysterically at Mr. Landon, causing chaos everywhere.
Pearl Landon stood there, completely bewildered, unable to accept the truth behind so many things at once. Wasn’t Crystal supposed to be kicked out? Wasn’t there supposed to be a billion coming? Why were they now losing three billion? And her dad had long-term mistresses outside?
"Kick them all out," the man spoke coldly.
The guards dragged Mr. and Mrs. Landon away, and Pearl was also sent out.
The old lady closed the ledger and handed it to Mrs. Zhao for safekeeping, then looked at little Crystal Landon with a face full of affection, smiling, "Come here, were you scared?"
Crystal rushed into the old lady’s embrace, her beautiful and charming little face already streaked with tears, sobbing, "Grandma, what exactly is going on? Are you my real grandmother?"
The old lady chuckled, amused by her, "Silly child, if I were your real grandmother, why would I wish for you to marry into the Shaw Family? Richard is my own grandson."
The old lady stroked the girl’s soft hair, her gaze somewhat nostalgic, and sighed, "This starts from when you were very young. You just need to remember, the Landon Family isn’t worthy of being your relatives, and you have no blood relation to them."
"Your parents passed away early and entrusted you to me. I cherished old ties and also wanted you to marry into the Shaw Family, but if you and Richard lived together every day, it would be like siblings, so I found a family to foster you," the old lady sighed, "Had I known you were unhappy with the Landons, I would’ve taken you sooner."
The old lady finished speaking and took out the household registration book and property deed she had just obtained today, placing them in her hands, "From now on, establish your own household. Never again endure the humiliation of living under someone else’s roof."
