Female Novel
Chapter 1546
Preston gave Sylvia a sidelong glance. He looked annoyed. He felt that this was a crucial moment. What she had just said wasunnecessary.
Lauren was Sophia's daughter. At the same time, she was also Javier's daughter. She was his precious daughter. There was nodoubt about that.
He had thoughts about making use of Lauren for his own purposes. But he certainly wasn't going to allow Landon to marry her.
Should Landon choose to marry her, he would be formally establishing a marital alliance with a prosperous family. Plus, Javierwould end up becoming his father-in-law.
Wasn't that simply allowing Landon to become even more powerful?What he needed to do now was to decide between two options.One option was to use Lauren to threaten Landon so that Landon wouldn't be able to become president.
Or he could take a step back and allow him to become the president. But he certainly had to prevent the marriage with theBeckett family.
Landon's words made the tension in the dining room rise.Cornelius raised his eyebrows in surprise. Neither did he look at Landon nor say anything in response.
Penelope couldn't hold herself back. She chimed in, "Don't you know the rules at our family dinners, Landon? Only our ownfamily members are allowed to attend family dinners. It's inappropriate for you to bring an outsider!"
"An outsider?"
Landon felt a ball of fury rise within him. His face turned frigid instantly. His eyes narrowed dangerously. "No worries. Lauren willno longer be an outsider soon enough. She will be my wife. She will become part of our Harper family."
Penelope felt a lump in her throat. "Why are you bringing this up again, Landon? Do you think this is the right time to talk aboutthis?"
"| decided to come tonight because of this."Landon then rose from his seat slowly. He turned his body to face Cornelius. He had a fiery look in his eyes.
"Grandpa, | came here today because there was something | wanted to inform you and everyone here about. | want to takeLauren as my wife. Please give us your blessings."
Upon saying that, Landon looked at Cornelius and behaved in a very respectful manner.Cornelius stared at Landon with wide eyes. This scene was shocking and unimaginable to everyone present.
Landon had been wayward since young. He was someone who loved to boast and flaunt. He'd never behaved politely to othersor acted so seriously before.novelbin
For the sake of marrying Lauren, he was willing to humble himself.
“Landon, | don't think Ms. Lauren is good enough for you."
Cornelius looked at Landon with asharp gaze. His tone was full ofcontempt and disdain. "| don't care ifit's Ms. Betty or Ms. Lauren, whomyou like. Neither of them can changethe fact that they are the daughtersof a murderer. The content is onNovelDrama.Org! Read the latestchapter there!
