Old Madam Shaw's admonition made the onlookers look at Crystal Landon with new eyes. Despite her pregnancy, her radiant beauty and ivory skin outshone the pure and charming young woman in the photograph. They realized they might have been used unwittingly as pawns, sparking a sense of regret among them.
The Shaw Family was a high door they couldn't touch. How could Major General fancy a country girl? Seeing this beautiful pregnant woman, they thought it might be true that someone was trying to harm the Shaw family's offspring.
The crowd looked at Luna Lawrence's parents with disdain and contempt. Yet, when such high-door secrets were at play, they eagerly perked up their ears.
Old Madam Shaw's words were shrewd and sharp. Clearly, the couple aimed to ruin the Shaw's reputation and harm her great-grandson. Even if her grandson knew Luna Lawrence, even if there was impropriety, it must not be admitted. Instead, they must firmly claim that the Lee family is trying to extort them.
