Chapter 1054: If Another Woman Grabs You, Just Say You Have a Wife, Got It?
Pearl Landon’s issue was just a minor episode, and after Crystal Landon resolved it, Augustus Howard’s wedding quickly began. The bride was a petite southern girl, standing beside the tall and strong Augustus Howard, creating a cute contrast.
Crystal Landon stood beside the two smiling elderly ladies, in an extremely prominent position, drawing everyone’s envy.
The elderly ladies of the Shaw and Howard families in the Imperial City are considered the most distinguished elders. Anyone standing beside these two elderly ladies is almost certainly an elite socialite. Who among the Imperial City’s socialites doesn’t recognize Crystal Landon’s face? Her beauty was famous a couple of years ago, and now that she’s grown, she’s even more striking.
Thinking that she also has an engagement with Major General Richard Shaw, their eyes turned red with envy.
Crystal Landon intentionally brought along Nova Howard, Lana Shaw, and Calliope Shaw as little followers. Nova Howard, born in the Howard Family, felt no different, but Lana Shaw and Calliope Shaw were deeply moved. Those socialites who once dismissed them high-handedly now cast envious glances. They had never had such an experience before, feeling as if their lives suddenly rose from the bottom to the Cloud Summit, all because they were on good terms with Crystal.
In that instant, both were even more devoted and thrilled, nearly breaking their nails from excitement.
The wedding proceeded smoothly. When the bride threw the bouquet, all the unmarried girls lined up, hoping to catch it.
Crystal could only accompany the elderly ladies of the Shaw and Howard families for conversation. Ultimately, a socialite caught the bouquet, making Nova Howard utterly frustrated. Crystal saw this and lightly laughed, witnessing the lively, vibrant, and prosperous scene in front of her and thinking of the Pearl Landon she had chased away. Suddenly, she felt a bit melancholic.
The path is made by people walking. Everyone has their own fate.
In reality, she didn’t sympathize with the Landon Family’s predicament, nor with Pearl Landon. The Landon Family hadn’t hit rock bottom, and Pearl’s skills learned over the years remained. If she were self-reliant and strong, she’d still have a future. However, if she continually relied on others, she would only bring about her own doom.
After the wedding, Augustus Howard drove off with his bride to tour the world on their honeymoon, while the guests in the estate remained, taking the opportunity before the evening banquet to network with various elites.
The elderly lady, accustomed to peace, couldn’t stand such the lively scene. Once the newlyweds departed, she rose to bid farewell, not allowing her grandson and granddaughter-in-law to see her off, simply saying: "Let the driver take me. You two go out and buy what you need and handle your matters."
The man replied in a low voice.
After sending off the elderly lady, Richard Shaw saw her standing in the wind, shivering slightly from the cold, and immediately took off his coat without a word to wrap around her.
The weather was nearing winter, with cold fronts arriving. Even though there was heating in the car and indoors, outside there wasn’t any. Crystal, wanting to look pretty, wore little, and after standing for half a day, was feeling uncomfortable. Seeing him take off his clothes for her, she reached out to tug his arm and asked: "When Pearl Landon pulls you, why don’t you push her away?"
"She’s a woman," Richard Shaw said heavily. In a soldier’s heart, elderly and women are vulnerable groups; even if he is impatient, he cannot embarrass them on the spot.
"From now on, you’re not allowed to touch any woman." Crystal Landon lifted her chin, her pretty little face threatening fiercely, "Next time if someone tries to grab your hand like that, you say you already have a wife, okay?"
Richard Shaw, seeing her delicate and charming demeanor, felt moved, remembering the kiss he had forcibly interrupted in the morning. His Adam’s apple moved slightly, wanting to kiss her.
