Chapter 556
Surprised, she immediately dragged her husband to greet Richard, “Mr. Shaw, why are you here?”
Mr. Shaw?
It stunned the Chapman family at once.
There seems to be only one Shaw family in Lake City. Is he who we think he is?
The Shaw family, like the Haddocks and the Nolans, was one of the most prominent families in Lake City.
The lack of competent successors led to the decline of the Chapman family.
Old Mr. Shaw was a respected figure, yet he basically stayed out of public sight. Nevertheless, he had a son who
worked as the sole distributor of luxurious goods in the fashion industry.
In fact, the Shaws distributed all the luxury goods in H Nation.
Although Mr. and Mrs. Hunt were influential in the music industry, they were modest in front of the Shaws for the

After all, out of the five prominent fashion magazines, the Shaws owned three of them.
Therefore, Mr. and Mrs. Hunt would not want to see their music artists blacklisted by the Shaws.
Speaking of which, isn’t Hera Chapman, the lady of the Chapman family, blacklisted by the Shaw family before? It
became a sensational story when all brands in H Nation blacklisted her.
Hence, Mr. and Mrs. Hunt looked conflicted.
Since we had lunch with the person who Mr. Shaw hates, what will he think about us?
However, Richard actually wasn’t aware of their thoughts and only felt that they looked familiar somehow. He had
many acquaintances, he could hardly recognize everybody.
Despite that, he responded politely, “I was having lunch with my sister.”
“Sister?” Once Mrs. Hunt glanced at Ashlyn, who looked remarkably graceful.
She immediately added smilingly, “Your sister is indeed beautiful. She has the looks of a lady from a prominent
family.”
However, she mistook Ashlyn for Teresa Shaw, the young lady of the Shaw family.
Ashlyn didn’t utter a word but merely smiled in response.
Mrs. Hunt grabbed a box from her bag. It was a jade necklace that the Chapman family just gave her.
She put it in Ashlyn’s hands and said smilingly, “This is the first time we met. By the way, I have a jade necklace,
and I think it suits you well. Please accept our gift.”
Although the gift was luxurious, she only wished that Richard wouldn’t be pissed because she was close to the
Chapman family.
Even though it was awkward to hand the Chapman’s gift to someone else before them, Mrs. Hunt’s biggest concern
right now was not to offend the Shaws.
Ashlyn refused to accept her gift. “I’m sorry, I can’t accept your gift. It’s too much.”
“It’s just a necklace,” Richard said blandly. He looked at the Hunts and asked seriously, “Are you, Mr. and Mrs.

It appeared that he recalled them only now.
Mr. Hunt was embarrassed because Richard didn’t seem to respect him as an elder.
Nonetheless, he could do nothing about it because the man standing in front of him was Richard Shaw, the young
master of the Shaw family.
“Yes, Mr. Shaw.”
“I heard the upcoming International Piano Competition will be held in the opera of Lake City this year.” Richard
paused for a while and continued, “The Shaws will sponsor all the expenses.”
“Really?” Mr. Hunt was too excited for words.
“My assistant will discuss the details with you.” Richard left with Ashlyn as soon as he finished.
Meanwhile, the Chapman family was dumbfounded.
In particular, Sisley and Hera had ghastly expressions on their faces, as if lightning struck them.
Hera clenched her fists in anger until her nails dug in her fresh.
I can’t believe it! How is this possible? Isn’t Ashlyn merely a doctor and a social media influencer who plays the
piano? How could she be friends with a prominent person such as Mr. Shaw?
