Female Novel
Chapter 1866
Preston quivered in anger. His face turned white.
"Dad, how could you say so? Preston is your son too! | don't know how he'll live out the rest of his life after what Landon did tohim!
"You didn't offer him words of comfort or even hold Landon responsible. Instead, you're pinning the blame on him. Do you wanthim dead?" Sylvia widened her eyes in disbelief and raged.
"How am | supposed to hold Landon responsible? He's the second largest stockholder of Harper Group and the companypresident. All the directors on the board pledged their loyalty to him. Laying a finger on him would mean hurting the company.
“As the family patriarch, shouldn't | look at the big picture?"
Preston clutched his bedsheet tightly. Anger festered in him. What Cornelius did wasn't "looking at the big picture", but sacrificinghis second son.
Cornelius knitted his brows and sank into a short silence. Then, he said resolutely, "Preston, | bought the flight tickets for you.Take a few days’ rest before you emigrate abroad with Sylvia to recuperate.”
“Emigrate? What do you mean?" Preston was thrown a curve.
"You had a fallout with Landon. After you transferred your stocks to him and were removed from your duties in the company, youhave no business staying in Solana City. You'll only make the Harpers a laughingstock." Cornelius marched out of the roomwithout hesitation, seemingly worried that he might be attacked by Preston at any time.
He added, "You have nothing left to fight with Landon. If you keep living in denial, you might lose more than an arm the next timeyou go up against him."
Penelope and Zoe took the opportunity to leave with Cornelius. After the three of them departed, silence returned to Preston'sroom.
Sylvia, knowing that the tide had turned against them, brazenly pointed a finger at Preston and laughed at him. "Hahaha! Seemslike your dad has completely given up on you. You are of no use to him anymore. This is the Harper family—a den of heartlesswolves!
“Well, that's not technically true. Your brother, Bill, was the only good egg in this family. He's kind and passionate. He always tookgood care of you. Too bad he died an untimely death, no thanks to a certain somebody." "Shut the fuck up!" Preston grewbelligerent when she touched his sore spot. Sylvia, who had been by his side for years, was privy to a lot of his secrets.
Scoffing, she retrieved the papers she had prepared from her luxury bag and tossed them onto his bed. "Sign the divorce papersas soon as you can. You need to fulfill all the conditions | listed in the document, or your secret of ten years might get out."
With that, Sylvia left the room with a look of disgust.
