Cornelius stared straight at Landon. The tension between them was so thick that it could be cut with a knife.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe thing he was most worried about had happened. Landon had gotten more and more powerful. He had achieved so much that he dominated over him.
Landon was like Alexander the Great in his prime. However, Cornelius himself was no longer the powerful Philip nt He was getting old. He was losing control over Landon. Moreover, he was his only grandson. While Preston harbored ambition, he lacked the competence to match his aspirations. The Harper Group's future still had to be in Landon's hands.
However, Cornelius couldn't give in just like that. As the head of the family, he was being threatened by his grandson! He felt humiliated.
Right at that moment, Preston's cell phone vibrated. He pulled it out and glanced at it impatiently.
His eyes widened suddenly. He got up to answer the call outside.
There was no one in the corridor. Preston answered the phone call. "Hi, Zoe. To what do | owe the pleasure of receiving your call?" "I miss you, Uncle Preston," Zoe said in a forcefully honeyed voice. The sound of her voice was enough to give one goosebumps.

Despite sounding cheerful earlier, Zoe now choked on Ly oI "I wish | could go back htoo. But I'm sure you also know that Landon hatesto the core.
"I've been feeling so lonely at Yoarkley. Not being able to go back hmakesfeel as if I've been sentenced to death! Uncle Preston, | want to go home. | miss Grandpa and Mom.
"I know that you lovethe most, Uncle Preston. Would you mind talking to Grandpa about lettingreturn to Solana City?" "I wish that you could cback too. But even your grandfather doesn't have a say now. Landon is the one who is in control of the Harper family." Preston was well aware that the relationship between Landon and Zoe had strained beyond salvage. He seized the opportunity to sow discord again.
"Furthermore, Landon just told us that he wants to marry Ms. Lauren. He said that it had to be her. Once they get married, even | won't have a place in this family. As much as | want to help you, my hands will also be tied!" Zoe was silent for a moment. Out of the blue, she lowered her voice. "I might be able to help you, Uncle Preston.
If so, would you be able to think of a way to helpreturn to Solana City?" "You're saying that you can help me? How are you able to do so?" Preston raised his brow doubtfully. He took the opportunity to share his conditions. "Are you able to stop Landon from marrying that lady from the Beckett family? He has already disclosed his intentions. If he really ends up becoming Mr. Javier's son-in-law... You will end up having challenging days ahead of you, Zoe." "I can do that, Uncle Preston. However, I'll need to first leave Yoarkley and return home. Only then will | be able to help you." "Landon is an impatient man. | wouldn't be surprised if he registers his marriage with Lauren tomorrow. It might be too late if we wait for you to cback." Zoe scoffed. "Uncle Preston, you cannot oppose them. Not just that, you need to show that you are fully supportive of them at this time. It would be best if you are able to convince Grandpa to approve their marriage." "What did you say? But why?" Preston was perplexed.
"I have my own reasons for saying so." Zoe sounded cold. She even added ssuspense by saying, "First, get this done properly. Wait for my return to Solana City for what comes after. | already have splans in mind."
