“Landon! Are you out of your mind? What are you talking about?” Penelope was so mad that she started shaking.Cornelius stared straight at Landon. The tension between them was so thick that it could be cut with a knife.
The thing he was most worried about had happened. Landon had gotten more and more powerful. He had achieved so muchthat he dominated over him.novelbin
Landon was like Alexander the Great in his prime. However, Cornelius himself was no longer the powerful Philip II!
He was getting old. He was losing control over Landon. Moreover, he was his only grandson. While Preston harbored ambition,he lacked the competence to match his aspirations. The Harper Group's future still had to be in Landon's hands.
However, Cornelius couldn't give in just like that. As the head of the family, he was being threatened by his grandson! He felthumiliated.
Right at that moment, Preston's cell phone vibrated. He pulled it out and glanced at it impatiently.His eyes widened suddenly. He got up to answer the call outside.
There was no one in the corridor. Preston answered the phone call. "Hi, Zoe. To what do | owe the pleasure of receiving yourcall?"
"| miss you, Uncle Preston," Zoe said in a forcefully honeyed voice. The sound of her voice was enough to give onegoosebumps.
"There's been much less laughter at home because you're not in Solana City. Cornelius and Penelope had abandoned you. |really can't stomach that." Preston lit a cigarette. He narrowed his eyes and took a puff of his cigarette.
Despite sounding cheerful earlier, Zoe now choked on her tears. "| wish | could go back home too. But I'm sure you also knowthat Landon hates me to the core.
"I've been feeling so lonely at Yoarkley. Not being able to go back home makes me feel as if I've been sentenced to death! UnclePreston, | want to go home. | miss Grandpa and Mom.
"| know that you love me the most, Uncle Preston. Would you mind talking to Grandpa about letting me return to Solana City?"
“| wish that you could come back too. But even your grandfather doesn't have a say now. Landon is the one who is in control ofthe Harper family."
Preston was well aware that the relationship between Landon and Zoe had strained beyond salvage. He seized the opportunityto sow discord again.
“Furthermore, Landon just told us that he wants to marry Ms. Lauren. He said that it had to be her. Once they get married, even |won't have a place in this family. As much as | want to help you, my hands will also be tied!"
Zoe was silent for a moment. Out of the blue, she lowered her voice. "| might be able to help you, Uncle Preston. If so, would yoube able to think of a way to help me return to Solana City?"
"You're saying that you can help me? How are you able to do so?"
Preston raised his brow doubttully.He took the opportunity to share hisconditions. "Are you able to stopLandon from marrying that lady fromthe Beckett family? He has alreadydisclosed his intentions.

“Landon is an impatient man. | wouldn't be surprised if he registers his marriage with Lauren tomorrow. It might be too late if wewait for you to come back."
