Chapter 474
Alyssa decisively walked out of the door and added, “I will be donating the compensation
to Solana City
Hope Foundation. I won’t take a single cent.”
Landon was surprised by her statement and then smiled wryly.
Alyssa not only exuded ethereal beauty; she was strangely devoid of human emotions as
well.
Alyssa returned to work in her office while Sean brought Landon to settle the
compensation matters. As an attorney, Sean had itemized the compensation, which was
an astronomical sum for the average
citizen.
That was the price for forging Alexa’s work.
Landon let out a heavy sigh when he looked at the agreement, a bitter taste in his mouth.
He could afford to pay up, but the humiliation was too much.

hoped to remain friends with her and never thought of hurting her.
Sadly, their friendship seemed to drift further away with each passing day.
On the way to the parking lot, Zoe was sobbing and moaning like she had been wronged.
“The real victim didn’t shed a tear. What gives you the right to cry?” Landon said sternly,
walking in huge strides, leaving Zoe struggling to catch up with him.
“Is Alyssa heartless? Why would she demand ten million dollars in compensation? She
might as well have robbed a bank!” Zoe groaned, feeling upset at the idea of Alyssa
getting ten million dollars without doing anything.
Zoe added, “Landon, have you ever felt this humiliated in your 28 years? If I’d known this
would happen, I wouldn’t have apologized to her!”
“Ms. Alyssa has been kind to you,” Landon replied, stopping in his tracks because he
couldn’t take it anymore. “If I hadn’t pushed you to make a sincere apology, you’d be
apologizing at a press conference
instead of her meeting room.”
Zoe shivered at the thought.
“When you’re home, do not leave without my permission. Reflect and repent on your
behavior!” Huffing,
“You can’t ground me, Landon! You can’t!” Zoe pounded on the car window and cried, but
Landon sat
inside, unfazed.
He realized he couldn’t afford to be lenient with Zoe anymore. It would only lead his sister
down the
wrong path.
When Landon’s luxury car sped away, Zoe stomped her feet and cried, squatting on the
ground.
“Ms. Harper, please get in the car,” two female bodyguards instructed as they lifted Zoe’s
arms and

The car headed to Harper Residence. Zoe felt dead inside.
It was at that moment her phone rang. She wiped away her tears and checked the screen,
only to see it
was from an unknown caller.
“Who’s this?” Zoe barked into the phone.
“Ms. Harper,” a man with a pleasant voice replied, but his voice sounded processed.
“W-Who are you?” questioned Zoe, sobbing.
“You must have felt frustrated and wronged from what happened today, am I right? Your
crush did not even take a look at you.”
Zoe widened her eyes as her heart raced.
Who was this man, observing her in the dark and privy to her situation? 2
The man offered, “If I promise I could get you the man you want, would you listen to me
and work with
me?”
