Chapter 1586
Landon took a step forward expressionlessly but was stopped by Preston.
Preston forced a smile. "Landon, let's be civil here. Zoe is your sister, after all. Don't be angry at her. I've watched you and Zoegrow up. | still remember how much you doted on her when you were still a kid..."
"This is our family matter. Do you even have a say in this?" Landon replied frostily, without a care for Preston.
The smile froze on Preston's face.
“Landon, he's your uncle. How could you talk to him with that attitude?" Penelope's face flushed in anger and embarrassment.Landon ignored Penelope and focused on Zoe. He said, "| need to talk to Zoe. Can the two of you step out for a bit?"
Zoe shook like a leaf in Penelope's arms.
Of course, Penelope would never leave Zoe to face Landon alone. She immediately declined, "We're all family here, includingPreston. Just spit it out."
"Fine. | wanted to be respectful, but you don't seem to care for Preston and Zoe's dignity. So be it; not like | care." Landonapproached Zoe and barked, "Zoe Harper, you're smart to come up with faking sickness to return and work with Uncle Preston.
"Uncle Preston is really something, too. How did he get you drugs to stop your heart? Pretty ruthless of him, eh? But it makessense. You're not his child anyway. If his plan works, you'll owe him a favor. If you die in the emergency room, tough luck, but hewill have nothing to do with it. He's really covered all the bases."

Landon smirked. "Mom, you dote on Zoe the most. When she got an injection or took some medication, you'd lose sleep over it.But here, Uncle Preston fucking fed your daughter drugs.
"Sure, Zoe might have made the wrong decision because she was young and naive, but what about Uncle Preston? He shouldhave known better."
Zoe turned white. Her eyes darted, and she didn't reply to the accusation. At the same time, Penelope nearly lost her mind. Sheglared at Preston and questioned in a shaky voice, "Preston, is Landon telling the truth?" "Penny, that's nonsense!" More resilientand shameless than Zoe, Preston refuted, "I treat Zoe as my daughter, and you know it. How in the world would | ever put her inharm's way?
“Besides, Landon's men had monitored Zoe's movements in Yoarkley like she was a criminal. No one could get anywhere nearher. Even if | wanted to, | couldn't reach out to her."
Landon lazily taunted him, "Oh, Uncle Preston, you're being humble. If there's anyone in the family who could do that, it'd be you.| know the details of the crimes you committed over the years.
