Chapter 1052: Waiting for a Lucky Break—Maybe Richard Shaw Is Blind
Crystal Landon burst into laughter, snatched the pen from his hand, and tossed it aside, saying, "Why are you in such a hurry for Alaric Howard’s wedding? You just sit back and handle the gift list, then throw it all to Alaric later. Anyway, the bride is pregnant, there’s no way they’ll have a proper wedding night, just count the gifts, it’s enough for a night."
Hawk Howard hadn’t seen her for a while. Seeing her bright smile now, it seemed like everything in her hands was just insignificant dust, and her whole being exuded reckless freedom. He couldn’t help but laugh, "Alright, I’ll listen to you."
So, the fourth young master of the Howard Family truly sat gallantly and gentlemanly at the side, even found a box, and put up a sign: Gift lists go in the box, gifts can pile up anywhere.
"I went to Clear Creek Bay a few days ago. The young man at the repair shop told me you haven’t been there for a long time." Crystal Landon sat with him, smiling as she collected the gift lists.
"I’ve been quite busy." Hawk Howard, seeing her sitting beside him, had a deeper smile at the corner of his lips, and the chill on his handsome face completely faded, attracting many socialites’ glances.
Ever since Crystal Landon got married, she hasn’t gone racing at Clear Creek Bay. He kept that repair shop merely as a keepsake, and rarely visits himself. But these things cannot be said unless one day she divorces Richard Shaw and lives unhappily, then he could stand by her side to shelter her from the winds and rains.
Such a wonderful girl, anyone with eyes wouldn’t be willing to let her go, right? Hawk Howard sighed softly. Like waiting by a stump for a rabbit, maybe Richard Shaw is the blind one.
Crystal Landon accompanied Hawk Howard in collecting the gift lists, drawing a lot of attention. She was originally excessively beautiful, and sitting beside the exceptionally handsome Hawk Howard, the pair of handsome man and gorgeous woman was quite pleasing to the eye.
Richard Shaw searched around before he found her sitting with Hawk Howard, chatting and laughing, remembering how she left abruptly and hasn’t said a word to him since.
The man furrowed his brow and was about to walk over when he heard a surprised shout, "Richard."
Richard Shaw turned to look, seeing Pearl Landon with two unfamiliar young women together, she approached joyfully to greet him.
The man nodded slowly, intending to leave.
"Richard, our family was wrong before, I want to apologize to Crystal, can I?" Pearl Landon pleaded, looking somewhat desperate.
This past year, their family truly hit rock bottom, owing over three billion to the Shaw Family with no means to repay. Since Crystal Landon severed ties with the Landon Family, Mrs. Shaw publicly declared that the Shaw Family has no relation to the Landon Family, so no one in Imperial City is willing to cooperate with the Landon Family anymore.
Her father was always haughty and was cheated out of quite a bit of money by deceitful businessmen. If it weren’t for Clark Landon’s relentless efforts, the Landon Family would have been bankrupt long ago.
Pearl Landon had been living the life of a pampered lady and couldn’t bear hardships. Only now did she understand that her more than twenty years of privileged life was all because of Crystal Landon being in the Landon Family.
Her parents offended the Howard Family, and even today, she had to find someone to bring her inside.
"I just want to see Crystal, after all, we lived together for over a decade. Although we’re not real sisters, there’s still affection there." Pearl Landon choked, daring not to explicitly ask him for help, merely mentioning Crystal, pleading continuously, hoping to move him.
The man’s expression turned slightly cold, his slightly tea-colored eyes revealing a trace of indifference. Having lost his parents at a young age, he was forced to grow up overnight, using youthful shoulders to support the century-old Shaw Family lineage. Richard Shaw’s principle was to be cold-hearted and unemotional. Having been in a high position for years, his heart had long been hardened.
Pearl Landon’s emotional plea had no effect on him whatsoever.
