Angelina cracked her knuckles in anger. She snapped, "Mr. Landon is Mr. Beckett's best friend, and Mr. Beckett is Ms. Alyssa’s...Anyway, do you think it's right to steal Mr. Landon's girlfriend? Aren't you scared of putting Mr. Beckett in a tough spot andupsetting Ms. Alyssa?"
"When did | say that | would steal his girlfriend? You and Mr. Landon have been paranoid all along." Cyrus lowered his eyes,casting a gentle glance at Lauren's lovely face. "If you keep thinking that way, you might actually make me consider giving it ashot to make up for your paranoia.
"| remember something Winston once said—does one not shoot one's shot just because there's a goalkeeper?”
"Mr. Cyrus, please remember that you're a police chief!" Angelina shot up furiously, momentarily forgetting that she was in thecar. Her head promptly hit the ceiling, causing her to frown in pain. She pressed against her head and returned to her seat.
"Ms. Brands, you shouldn't guilt-trip me with my profession." He flashed a chilling smile. "By the way, what | hate the most isbeing threatened."
Angelina's chest tightened. The more she was in contact with Cyrus, the more panicked she became. Her sixth sense informedher that Cyrus would be a formidable and enigmatic love rival to Landon if he fell for Lauren one day.

In the end, he ignored Cornelius’ protests and ordered the jet to head back to Solana City, even when he wasn't sure if Laurenwas in danger. He could even skip Harmony Nations meetings for her.
Because of that, Cornelius had an outburst and had to put on an oxygen mask to avoid fainting in the air.
"Mr. L-Landon," Angelina greeted Landon with trepidation as he marched up to her.
He hissed through gritted teeth, "Why didn't you tell me?"
"It was an emergency. | worried that you."
"Why didn't you tell me?" This time, his furious snarl echoed in the corridor. Even his subordinates cowered in silence.
Biting her pale lips, she hung her head lower as guilt crushed her.

"That wasn't Ms. Angelina's fault. She was advised by the police's advice not to contact you," explained Cyrus, who emergedfrom a turning of the staircase.
