Female Novel
Chapter 1869
Jasper patted the back of Landon's hand to calm him down. The veins were bulging from the back of his hand.
"| know that you have been investigating Bill's cause of death all these years. Moreover, you've always had your suspicionsabout Preston, who has the strongest motive. It's just that you haven't found any evidence.
"Sylvia is now bringing up divorce with Preston out of the blue. She even drafted this divorce agreement with such exorbitantdemands. I'm certain that she has something on Preston—something that is fatally threatening to him.
“Even if it's unrelated to Bill's death, it has to be something that will cause him to suffer the consequences of his own actions andspend the rest of his life in prison."
"It must have been Preston! Who else could it have been?"Landon was reminded of Bill's death once again. An immense pain filled his heart, and his eyes became bloodshot.
“Back then, both he and my father went to Southsmire for an inspection. The helicopter that they were on was flying over the seawhen the main gearbox malfunctioned. It caused the aircraft to plunge right into the sea. The craft sank in no time.
"My father did put on a life jacket at the time. However, the craft was sinking too fast. Furthermore, the cabin was a confinedspace. He had no chance to escape at all. In the end, my father, alongside three other high-level executives from thecorporation, as well as the pilot, lost their lives!
“Preston... Preston was the only one who survived!"Jasper pursed his lips tightly.“How could it have been so coincidental? How was he the only one who got lucky?"
Landon was devastated. He slammed his palms on his desk. "My father spent his entire life working hard for Harper Group. Hecontributed to charities enthusiastically. Step by step, he tried to wipe off the corporation's dark side and bring the entire familyback on the right track.
"He was such an outstanding, hardworking, kind man. Why did the heavens have to take his life? | don't believe that God wouldbe so unfair!"
Jasper had a serious look on his face. "Everyone else died while Preston was the only one who survived.That is indeed quite strange.”“Exactly! Prepillon doesn't even have nine lives!"
“Back then, Preston could escape from the craft's cabin because he had a small glass breaker with him. He smashed thewindow and swam to the surface."
In a raspy and resentful voice, Angelina explained, "After that, he explained that he had the habit of carrying such a tool. He alsodefended himself by saying he wasn't a good swimmer, so he couldn't rescue Mr. Bill. He claimed that if he had tried to save him,both of them would have ended up drowning.
"That was such poor defense. Who would believe him? He was just banking on the fact that he had power at Harper Group backthen. He then oppressed Mr. Landon as he was still young; there was no one to back him and his mother up!"
Jasper stayed silent for a moment. Then, he took a deep breath and said, "Even if Preston advertised that he was the one whomurdered Bill, it would still be difficult to prosecute him. So many years have passed. Furthermore, there has been no concreteevidence.
"Just take my mother's case as an example. Nina hid herself and recorded Sophia's confession. Tessa, who served my motherback then, was found and testified in court. If not for them, it would've been a much bigger challenge to avenge my mother."
Landon gritted his teeth. His eyes were filled with fury."That said, perhaps we can try our luck with Sylvia."Jasper knitted his brows together suddenly. "As Preston's partner, she must know a lot of his secrets."
"| heard Mr. Cornelius has handled all the procedures for Preston to migrate overseas. He won't allow him to return to SolanaCity. It's clear that he wants to give up on him completely."
Angelina muttered, "Preston is being chased out of the family without any power. He has also been incapacitated. He is nolonger a threat. It is no wonder Sylvia dared to suggest divorce at this crucial timing despite not having a strong familybackground."
"The divorce is indeed a good opportunity."
Jasper narrowed his eyes. His sterngaze was chilling. "She will etree ofthe painile) sheillatss-to ongerhive'Preston to rely on. It would be apiece of cake to get hold of Sylvia."The content is on NovelDrama.Org!Read the latest chapter there!

Then, Landon smiled brightly, just like he used to. "It's getting late. We haven't spent time together in a while. Shall we go for ameal?"
Jasper returned a slight smile. "Sounds good."
