Chapter 1790

Preston looked like he was trying to conceal his ill intentions. Landon stared at him through his dark and ferocious eyes.That stare was full of threat indeed! In an instant, Preston felt like he was being choked. His chest tightened.

However, on second thought, he figured that he didn't have to fear Landon. He was his uncle and Cornelius’ only son. All hewanted was to fight Landon to death, no matter the cost.

Cornelius stayed silent for a moment. Then, he said in a low voice, "Preston, all these while, Landon's reputation in the outsideworld and his business capabilities are pristine. In other words, he is the best candidate to be Harper Group's president.

"You have to give us a reason why you're stepping out to oppose this."

Preston puffed up his chest and lifted his head high. He shot a quick side glance at Landon's frigid face before turning toCornelius.

"Dad."

"We are at a work meeting right now," Cornelius reminded. One thing that Cornelius always disliked about Preston was hisunseriousness.

He was poles apart with his eldest son, Landon's father, who had passed away. They were incomparable.

"Mr. Cornelius." Preston changed his address unwillingly. "You pushed for Landon to become the president because you'veidentified him as the successor of our family. Is that right?"

Cornelius nodded."Since this is the case, that means that Landon's status is extremely important."

Preston looked like he was brewing a storm in a teacup. He continued to flatter Landon. "Not only is he Harper Group'spresident, as your only grandson, he is also the hope of our entire family. This is akin to a prince ascending to the throne."

"What are you trying to say?” Landon could tell that he didn’t have good intentions. The look in his eyes became darker as hecontinued staring at him.

"What I'm trying to say is that your every move has an impact on our family's reputation. Thus, your marriage will have a massiveimpact on our family's future too.”

A flash of maliciousness flashed across Preston's eyes. "It is not child's play," he punctuated, each word sharply enunciated toemphasize his point.

"It is my choice who | wish to marry." Landon clenched his hands into tight fists on the table. His eyes became shockingly red. "Itis no one else's business.”

This tense confrontation made everyone else's hearts skip a beat.

“lam only your uncle. Of course it's none of my business. But Mr. Cornelius is your grandfather and the head of the Harperfamily who has the final say. Are you saying that it is also none of his business?" Preston scoffed.

Immediately after, he put on an indignant expression on his face and continued, "Mr. Cornelius, although our family is rankedfourth among the four most notable families, we are still a powerful and noble family.

“Landon has the looks and capabilities. Even if he isn't able to find a treasured scion like Ms. Alyssa to be his wife, he shouldn'tbe marrying a psycho. Don't you think so? Must our family stoop so low?"

Everyone's jaws dropped. The room was in an uproar.

Psycho?

Landon's fiancée—the daughter from the Beckett family—was a psycho?

Were they marrying within their class or were they being charitable?

"Preston."

Landon stayed seated in his chair. His entire body was burning with so much anger that he felt like he could burn the world away.He threatened in a hoarse voice, "Have you thought about the consequences of humiliating my fiancée in public?"

The chatters in the room stoppedinstantly. He was a puyaldeaniet.|
