"I heard she changes boyfriends every week. Bro, aren't you worried you'll end up with a lemon?"
Richard Shaw paused for a moment. Ever since he returned, almost everyone he met brought up Crystal Landon, as if his life was completely tied to a teenage girl.
"Alright, I got it. There's no marriage involved." Richard Shaw stood up, ready to leave.
Drake Howard, the Howard Family's second son, was holding a cigarette while playing poker. As he touched his cards, he answered his phone, then exclaimed, "Damn it, Nova's been taken to a bar by Crystal, and now it's chaos down there."
Among the top families in the Imperial City, the Shaw Family had few heirs. Though there were many branches, Richard Shaw was the only offspring of the main line.
The Howard Family was blessed with many children. The matriarch had three sons and a daughter; the first and third sons each had only one child, while the second son had three: Augustus Howard, Drake Howard, and Nova Howard.
