Chapter 1085: The Plan to Kill Three Birds with One Stone
Nova Howard was the first to disagree, weakly saying, "Is Luna Lawrence out of her mind? She’s tarnishing herself so much, she might never clear her name."
Lana Shaw and Calliope Shaw reacted quickly, analyzing the situation word by word.
"Luna Lawrence is smearing herself, and she chose to do it on the first day of school, making sure everyone knows about it. Her goal is to use the vast resources of netizens to expose the patron behind her," Calliope Shaw said.
"This shows that the patron behind Luna Lawrence is truly extraordinary. Given her status, she absolutely can’t get into his family. She has no hope of becoming the legitimate wife, so she might be trying to make it public to secure a status or gain some benefits?"
"I think the legitimate wife must have caught her; otherwise, why force an ultimatum?"
"Who’s so unlucky to have a scheming woman like Luna Lawrence?" Lana Shaw mentioned Crystal Landon again.
Nova Howard was completely confused by the two sisters and was about to ask for clarification when she saw Crystal Landon announcing coldly, "The Shaw Family."
Lana Shaw and Calliope Shaw were instantly too shocked to say a word.
The Shaw Family? Who? Among the members of the Shaw Family, the most powerful is Richard Shaw. It can’t be, did our cousin get shot?
The always ladylike Lana Shaw and Calliope Shaw were ready to curse. Damn it, if this is true, the old lady would tear Luna Lawrence apart in seconds.
The Shaw Family is noble and prestigious; if it gets ruined by such a woman, the old lady would be furious enough to cough up blood. Moreover, with Crystal Landon around, even though they are about the same age, they have all witnessed Crystal Landon’s methods. She was personally groomed by Grandma Shaw, a true heiress. Destroying someone like Luna Lawrence wouldn’t even make her blink.
Nova Howard weakly added, "What exactly are you guys talking about? Why is Luna Lawrence doing this?"
Lana Shaw and Calliope Shaw rolled their eyes together, explaining that Luna Lawrence knows full well she can’t enter the Shaw Family, yet she still wants to expose this matter. She wants to appear before their cousin as a victim to seek his protection, incriminate Crystal Landon, and solidify the scandal, entangling herself with their cousin endlessly. A triple win.
What’s a little self-sabotage? If she can get even a tiny connection with the most powerful Major General in the Imperial City, a woman of her background will never have to worry for the rest of her life.
Naturally, Nova Howard, born into a noble family and with a pure heart, didn’t understand such complicated schemes. However, Lana Shaw and Calliope Shaw, who have been cautious since childhood, immediately figured it out. This is such a clever move, generally only women could think of. As for men, with their straightforward minds, they couldn’t grasp it at all.
Lana Shaw and Calliope Shaw didn’t have time to pay attention to Nova Howard, both tagging Crystal Landon to ask what to do.
Crystal Landon pressed her aching temples and squinted her eyes. With this situation blowing up, it’s likely impossible to hide it from Grandma Shaw. Luna Lawrence’s biggest goal, in her desperate move, was to drive a wedge between her and Richard Shaw.
As soon as this matter came out, given Richard Shaw’s thinking, his first reaction would probably be that she was retaliating against Luna Lawrence.
Crystal Landon stood up expressionlessly, carrying her backpack as she headed back to the Shaw Mansion.
Over at the Shaw Mansion, Grandma Shaw had already heard the news and was fuming, her voice trembling as she asked Mrs. Zhao, "I knew it, this woman is a disaster. When did she come to the Imperial City? Why didn’t I know at all?"
Grandma Shaw had her own network and ears everywhere, always keeping an eye on the Luna Lawrence situation. But ever since Richard Shaw got married, he had no contact with Luna Lawrence, so Grandma Shaw relaxed a bit. Suddenly such a huge incident broke out, and she was so angry she almost fainted.
