Chapter 1553
Landon struggled to catch his breath, feeling overwhelmed.
During the party previously, he wanted to protect his best friends. Thus, he chose to go against Javier. He did so with hisfriendship with Jasper and Alyssa in mind.
However, this was an expensive price to pay. He might never be able to marry the woman he loved.
He was able to go against the entire Harper Group. He was even able to put everything at stake. But how would Lauren be ableto do that? She was a meek woman. She was so timid.
Even if Lauren was willing, Landon couldn't bear to have her do so. She would be carrying a magnanimous burden on hershoulders. How could he bear to see her betray her family?
"Come home, Lauren. You are my most obedient daughter. Listen to me. Come home."Javier's gaze softened when he looked at Lauren. He opened his arms.
"You are young and clueless about love. Plus, you're terrible at gauging people's intentions. You can't even tell if you've beendeceived.
"But that's okay. | don't blame you. You are still my daughter as long as you decide to come home. You're the daughter | love themost."
Lauren felt as though all her blood had been drained from her body. She stood rigidly at the same spot.
She had already lost her mother. She really didn't want to lose her father, too. But, more than that, she didn't want to loseLandon.
“Lauren, Dad has been treating you so well. Do you want to make Dad angry?"
Betty was still standing by the side. She chimed in, "You used to be cooped up at home every day. You don't know how evilpeople can be, especially men. You shouldn't trust a single word that they say."
She was already enraged by Landon earlier on. She took this opportunity to snap back at him, "You were lecturing me earlier on,Landon. But | think that you're just a pot calling the kettle black!
“Lauren, Landon may be coaxing you with flowery words each day. However, did you know that he is the number one playboy inSolana City? The list of his ex-lovers is probably thicker than the dictionary! He only chose you because he wants to addsomeone like you to his collection.
“It would be too late by the time you hit a dead end. By then, Dad wouldn't want to take you in any longer, even if you wanted tocome home!"
Lauren shivered uncontrollably. She became even more teary-eyed.novelbin
Landon wrapped his arms around her immediately. He caressed her back with his hand to comfort her. He was already at histipping point. Even so, he remained infinitely patient with Lauren.
“Landon... I'm sorry... |
“My granddaughter is a wonderful woman. Who is that heartless idiot who doesn't want to take her in? | must see him formyself!"
They heard a powerful voice coming from outside. The facial expressions on Javier's and Betty's faces changed.
Following that, Jasper entered the room. He was pushing Newton in his wheelchair. Walking right next to Jasper was a strikingand stunning woman. It was Alyssa!
There were only three of them. But, they walked in with an air of mightiness and power. Javier's chest tightened. Betty was sostunned that her face looked like it was about to crack.

They had been best buddies for 20 years. That small gesture was enough. No words were needed. They always understoodeach other's difficulties at crucial moments like these.
"How's Lauren, Landon?" Alyssa noticed that Lauren was looking pale. She didn't have time to bother about anything else. Shewas only concerned for Lauren.
"I'm here. She's fine," Landon answered in a raspy voice.Newton glanced around with his eagle eyes. In the end, he fixed his eyes on Landon and Lauren. His gaze became gentle."Dad, what. what brings you here?" Javier walked down the stairs, looking extremely awkward.
