Female Novel
Chapter 1716
On the way to the hospital, Landon watched a livestream showing Cyrus emerging from the academic building carrying a femalein his arms. Although the woman was well covered, Landon could recognize Lauren in Cyrus’ arms just by her form.
Landon had always suspected Cyrus of having feelings for Lauren. He perceived it as a blatant act of stealing the love of his life,Lauren. She was his everything. Any man who so much as laid a finger on her would be crossing a line.
“lam in the police force too. What's the difference?" Hearing Landon's accusations, Cyrus calmly smirked at him.Surprisingly, Cyrus did not fluster in the face of Landon and Harper Group's men.
Landon clenched his jaw as he approached Cyrus. "Lauren is my lover. How dare you stop me, her partner, from coming to herrescue in that dangerous and urgent situation? Do you really think | don't know what you're plotting? Want me to lay it out for youand embarrass you?"
“Landon Harper, are you dumb or naive? You might not have experienced a hostage situation, but | bet you've watched policemovies." Cyrus slipped both hands into the pockets of his jacket. He squinted and scoffed. "What good would it do to have youthere? Could you even help?
“Would you make your men beat that criminal up, or would you threaten him not to hurt Lauren, or you'd bankrupt him the nextday?"
Landon felt the anger rising in him. "Cyrus Taylor!" The Taylors seemed to share the same trait of being sharp-tongued, or inother words, mean.
“Landon Harper, my decision not to contact you had nothing to do with trust. All | wanted was to eliminate any potential risk torescue the hostage. | kept the information from you because Lauren was your girlfriend, and I'd do the same for other hostages,too.
"| handled many shocking cases throughout my career and battled savage criminals who were not afraid of death because theywere at the end of their rope. The criminal who held Lauren hostage was no different. Rescuing her from the situation waschallenging.”
Landon refused to accept any explanation as he was still furious. He taunted, "So, are you saying | should thank you instead?"
"There's no need to thank me. I'm at the service of the people." Cyrus coolly waved his hand. "! don't want to argue with you overthis matter. | bet you're exhausted after the journey. Save your energy for taking care of Lauren.
“By the way, Ms. Brands has faithfully served you through thick and thin. Blame me if you want. Don't make things difficult for
her.
Angelina stood at the side with her shoulders hunched. She couldn't help but choke up when she heard Cyrus’ thoughtfulremark. For ten years, she had gone through many sufferings with Landon. Many times, she nearly forgot that she was a lady,too.
For the first time, she felt wronged. However, she quickly killed off that thought. She shouldn't have felt aggrieved when she hadwillingly decided to serve Landon.
After Cyrus was done addressing Landon, he walked away.
"Mr. Cyrus, I'll call you a man if you fight for Lauren openly. Don't you think you're despicable for making your way to Laurenusing your job as a cover?" Landon's eyes gleamed with the savageness of a beast. He would have punched Cyrus in the face ifCyrus weren't Alyssa's brother.novelbin
