Female Novel
Chapter 1794
Lauren's lips were pale and her eyes were red and swollen. With much difficulty, she opened her mouth to speak and onlymanaged to make a sound after a while.
“Landon... What took you so long? What took you so long... So long..."
Every single time she questioned him in that weak voice of hers, Landon felt like he was being shot in the heart. He wasconsumed by regret and suffering. He tried to answer her. But he was unable to get a single word out.
"Something bad happened to Angie. Angie. Will she die?"
Lauren thought about the image that she saw on the screen. In an instant, her eyes widened in fear and her entire body startedconvulsing in Landon's arms.
Landon was scared out of his wits. Even every breath pained him. He answered, "No. Angelina will be fine. I'll take you to thehospital immediately, Lauren!"
Simultaneously, the board meeting was dismissed after such a big ruckus.Only Cornelius and Preston were left in the meeting room."See, Dad? That lady from the Beckett family is a complete psycho."
Despite being so beaten up that his entire face was swollen, Preston was still smearing Lauren. He clenched his teeth andcontinued, "It would be so unlucky for us if a woman like that married into our family!
"In the future, all of Solana City will be saying that we are the Beckett family's lapdog. They will say that we were willing to suckup to them just to get their sick daughter to marry into our family. How fucking disgusting is that?"
Cornelius wore a serious expression, his lips downturned in a clear sign of displeasure. He agreed with what Preston had said.
"Dad, today's board meeting was such an important one. | can't believe that Landon abandoned everyone here just to look forthat crazy woman!
"What does he think the board meeting is for? Did he even show you any respect? Do you think that he's worthy of the positionas the company's president?" Preston asked angrily.
Cornelius gave him the side-eye. "If Landon isn't worthy of the position, then you do?"Preston choked on his words. He didn't know how to respond.
“lam your father. Do you think that I'm unaware of your capabilities and what you have in your mind? | might be old, but I'm notsenile. Rather than having the Harper Group end up in your hands, | should just bury myself before winter comes!"
A ball of fury rose within Preston.
At the end of the day, Cornelius was still biased toward Bill's son. He had put in so much effort to get rid of Bill, yet, his son wasnow in his way!
He felt extremely regretful.
Back then, he shouldn't have shown any mercy. He should have gotten rid of Landon while he was still a child. If he had done so,he wouldn't end up with endless troubles like these!
Preston gathered his thoughts. Since he had no hope of getting the president position, he needed to tear Landon and Laurenapart, preventing their marriage from ever taking place.
Landon had stolen his power, so he had to take away his lover. Only then would this be fair and satisfying."Dad, based on today's situation, | think Landon has no intention to give up on that Beckett lady at all."
The look in Landon's eyes becamevillainous. "You sho, know &andon.If es setonntart ing her, there's nochanging his mind." The content is onNovelDrama.Org! Read the latestchapter there!
