Chapter 1077: Have You Slept with Richard Shaw?
When Crystal Landon brought Nova Howard inside, Luna was sitting on the hospital bed reading a book. She looked up happily when she saw someone come in, and then her expression changed.
Crystal Landon scrutinized her from head to toe. Luna was wearing a loose hospital gown, which made her look thin and delicate. Her eyes were filled with emotion, making her look very appealing, even soft-hearted women would feel tender towards her, let alone men.
So Richard Shaw likes this kind of pure and delicate woman. Crystal Landon sneered and said to Nova Howard, "You go outside and keep watch for me. No one is allowed to come in."
Nova Howard excitedly patted her chest and said, "Don’t worry, not even a mosquito could fly in."
Luna’s leg injury was still not healed. Her face turned even paler when she heard this, and she said weakly, "What are you planning to do?"
Crystal Landon looked around and saw that this was a special care ward, with everything inside like a suite. The hospital fees were definitely not something a girl who just entered college from the countryside could afford.
She narrowed her beautiful eyes coldly at Luna and said indifferently, "No need to pretend. You recognized my identity the moment I walked in, didn’t you? Luna, if your parents knew you were now attending college in the Imperial City, without any worries about food, clothing, housing, or transportation, and living in such a good place, do you think they’d come to the Imperial City looking for you?"
Luna’s face drastically changed. Her parents had always been her nightmare. She had just crawled out of hell and absolutely could not let them entangle her again, or her life would be ruined.
Crystal Landon was more formidable than she imagined, and in person, she was ten times more beautiful than in photos. Luna’s confidence collapsed for a moment but then she forcibly calmed herself, and said flatly, "Crystal, you can try doing that and see if Major General Shaw would get angry because of it."
Seeing her so composed and even using Richard Shaw to pressure her, Crystal knew this woman was a hundred times harder to deal with than the spoiled socialites of the Imperial City. A child from such a family managing to climb up to the most illustrious scion of the Shaw Family definitely didn’t use ordinary means.
"Have you slept with Richard Shaw?" She lifted her chin and asked coldly.
Luna’s gaze flickered slightly, and she said flatly, "No, we intended to wait until our wedding night. He’s a very traditional man."
In fact, she had hinted and tried to seduce the Major General before, but that man was too upright. Although he took care of her, he seemingly had no desire for her whatsoever. If they had slept together, why would she endure until today, watching as Richard Shaw married Crystal Landon?
So she was indeed the untouchable one. Crystal’s heart grew cold. After taking care of her for three or four years and liking her so much, yet not touching her—she didn’t know whether to be thankful they hadn’t slept together or sad about Richard Shaw’s regard for her.
"Luna, you should know that even if I killed you today, I wouldn’t get into trouble. You’re just an orphan. Why can’t you just study well and live your life? Why do you covet things that don’t belong to you?" Crystal said coldly as she looked at her delicate demeanor, "Because you’ve had enough of that poor, beaten life, so your ambition has swelled to the point of being willing to be a homewrecker and a mistress?"
"Crystal, you’re wrong. You’re the mistress." Luna finally found a point to fight back. Her weak appearance completely faded, and she sneered, "If it weren’t for you forcing the Major General to marry you, he wouldn’t have abandoned me. We fell in love in the Southwest Military Zone for four years. It’s just that my origins aren’t as good as yours, but in other respects, I am not inferior to you."
