Chapter 1087: A Pure Lotus Blooming Amidst the Mire
When Grandma Shaw makes a move, it inevitably ends in death or injury; at worst, she sends Luna far away, never to return to the Imperial City.
But who is Richard Shaw? Now, the entire Shaw family relies on him for support. He is already one of the most powerful people in the Imperial City; how could he always be subject to control by others?
He’s already compromised once over the marriage. To Richard Shaw, even if Luna isn’t his "white moonlight," there’s still the fact that her brother saved his life.
If Grandma were to act when Luna is facing online defamation, it would turn into her framing Luna and Grandma dealing with Luna. Doing this would only completely infuriate Richard Shaw.
At that time, Grandma would be seen as a controlling elder, she would be a scheming wife, and Luna would be a pure and untainted beauty amidst chaos.
The worse Luna’s situation becomes, the more Richard Shaw would sympathize with her and stand by her side. Therefore, Grandma absolutely must not make a move.
Seeing her speak this way, Grandma seemed slightly surprised and said, "This woman is truly scheming. If we don’t deal with her, are we just going to let her latch onto Richard and our Shaw Family?"
"Luna dares to do this, relying on nothing but her brother’s act of saving a life and their old affection. Let her do as she pleases," Crystal Landon said, her face cold. "I have solutions of my own. For now, Grandma should not interfere and just watch how things develop."
Grandma nodded, patted the back of her hand, and said emotionally, "Good child, it’s so unfair to you."
On the first day back at school, because of Luna’s issue, Crystal Landon felt extremely upset. After dinner and a bath, she lay on the bed, not wanting to look at posts to avoid making herself sick. She only asked Nova Howard and the others in the small group, "What stage has the matter developed to?"
"Sis-in-law, did you make a move? Someone tried to dig into the military zone’s off-road vehicle, but they couldn’t find anything, and the post got blocked," Lana Shaw said.
"I’ve been refreshing the post, scolding her, but now it’s not opening," Nova Howard said angrily.
"The topic has been directly locked, banned across the web. That’s quite a significant move," Calliope Shaw remarked, a bit in awe.
Crystal Landon had already predicted this outcome; as long as she and Grandma didn’t make any substantial moves against Luna, none of the blame would fall on them.
The matter has been dug out to the Southwest Military Zone; there’s no way those above would turn a blind eye. A web ban is the least they could do.
Furthermore, whether it’s to protect Luna or the military district, this post was doomed not to survive 24 hours. Dealing with it now is already a bit slow.
"It’s fine that the post is blocked; I’m going to sleep," Crystal Landon said coldly.
"What? You’re just going to let it go like that?" The three were stunned.
Crystal Landon had already turned off WeChat and gone to sleep. How can she replenish her energy to argue with Richard Shaw without sleep?
Richard Shaw returned to the Shaw Mansion in the middle of the night without disturbing anyone and went straight upstairs. The man had been incredibly busy these past few days with military exercises, overwhelmed with work. It was only when Shoey reported the post’s issue that he knew about it, and he had it blocked immediately.
The man hadn’t been home for a week, and after arguing unhappily with Crystal Landon last time, he vented his anger in the military zone with exercises and training that pushed the troops to exhaustion, leading everyone to avoid him.
Richard Shaw entered the bedroom, turned on the light, and saw Crystal Landon sleeping sweetly, hugging the blanket by herself. She slept poorly, often occupying the entire bed on her own, quite dominantly, with two bare arms laid on the red silk quilt like white jade, her face as beautiful as March blossoms, alluring and exuding an irresistible charm.
