The charity event ended quickly, and Crystal Landon got into Richard Shaw's Hummer. If she wasn't worried about displeasing Richard, she would have shouted to those young ladies that the co-pilot seat of Major General Shaw was for rent - 2 million for a ride home, 5 million for a joyride, and 10 million for a chat. Then she could buy a house in the Imperial City in no time.
She rested her small head and giggled. Over the years, for some reason, the lonelier she felt, the more she wanted to buy a house, to have a stable home, a place to stay. Living temporarily at the Shaw Mansion wasn't a long-term solution.
When Richard Shaw got in the car, he saw her daydreaming with her head resting on her hand.
As the man got in the car and was about to start the engine to drive back to the Shaw Mansion, he saw Crystal Landon quickly open the door and dash away.
