Female Novel
Chapter 1587
Zoe's forehead was dotted with sweat. She clutched tightly onto the bedsheet.
She had always taken Landon as a man of courage but lacking in wits. No matter what she had done, all it took was some sweettalking and begging to make him turn a blind eye to her mistakes.
Now, it seemed that she had been gravely mistaken all the while. Landon had wittily exposed her and Preston. The reason hehad fallen for her lies in the past was due to his unconditional trust in her.
They were no longer siblings at this point; just enemies, and Landon was a formidable one at that. No wonder the sly Prestonhad battled Landon for years to no avail!
Preston remained glowering at Landon, who had no patience for him. Landon shoved past Preston and stood in front of Zoe."Zoe Harper, my advice for you is to lay low and don't try anything funny."novelbin
Landon's murderous squint gave Zoe goosebumps. He added, "If you harass Lyse, Jasper, and Lauren again, not even Grandpacould protect you from the consequences. I, will, hurt, you."
His words were laced with resentment and threat.Eyes wavering, Zoe looked into Landon's impassive eyes as she dealt with the anger, discontentment, and disappointment.
Landon once called her name with a doting smile. He loved holding her hand and was so proud of having a talented sister. Allthat seemed distant now.
Zoe had always assumed that Landon belonged to her and only her. How did he end up pouring all his care and affection ontoLauren?
Her heartache turned into resentment when she recalled how Landon had hurt her because of Lauren.In Landon's eyes, she could not even compare to Alyssa, who was divorced and infertile.
She seethed in silence. "Landon Harper, do not blame me for what unfolds. Things happen all because you sided with outsidersover your family. You deserved this!"
Penelope was anxious and hurt upon seeing her son threatening her daughter. Their once-happy family was now filled withhatred. However, she did not know how best to mediate or discipline them.
Before leaving, Landon suddenly remarked with passion and hope in his eyes, "Mom, Lauren, and | will get engaged when I'mOfficially appointed the company president.
“According to Solana City's marriage custom, you should pick one item from the dowry given to you by Grandpa. As Lauren'sfuture mother-in-law, you will hand the item to her in person."
Penelope bit her lips and sank into silence. She was obviously reluctant to do so.
"| Know you might not want to part with your dowry, and that's fine. | totally understand. That's why I'm only here to bring up thismatter." Landon flashed Penelope a careless smile and glanced at his assistant. The said assistant immediately draped thejacket over his shoulders.
Landon added, "If you refuse to give Lauren an item from your dowry, I'll make that decision on your behalf.
"Since | am the custodian of a few pieces of collector items before Dad's passing, I'll pick the best piece of jewelry for Lauren andtell her it's from you. | believe you won't have an issue with this. It's all for the Harper Group's reputation. Right?"
Penelope seethed in anger upon hearing Landon's words. The air in the VIP ward was heavy and tense after Landon'sdeparture.
“Mom, just look at Landon! Since when has he become such a scary man?" Zoe shed crocodile tears. "Is he choosing thatwoman over us and the Harper family?"
Feeling powerless, Penelope sighed. "Zoe, let it be. You know Landon's character well. What good will it do to go up againsthim?"

Soon, Penelope left the ward to pick up Zoe's health checkup report. When the door closed, only Preston and Zoe remained inthe room.
Zoe immediately turned menacing, a stark difference from her innocent and feeble persona from earlier.
