Chapter 779
However, the Harper Group was one of the top ten consortiums in the country, with business ventures
spanning Andgalbia.
Although not as prominent as the Taylor family and not among the wealthiest, the Harper family had a
neutral stance. They could still pose a significant threat if they teamed up with the Schmidt family. They
happened to be the Beckett family’s arch-enemy.
“Grandpa, why won’t you listen to me? I’ve only been away for a few days, and you’re already causing
trouble for the Beckett family?”
The echoing sounds of leather shoes, cold and imposing, reverberated through the hall.
Following that, Landon walked into the view of the astonished crowd.
When Sophia saw him, her eyes lit up like she had discovered a diamond mine. After all, he was her
future
son-in-law.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIf Landon became her son-in-law, she would be over the moon. Those socialites who had previously
ignored and looked down on her would have to flatter her.
The bodyguards greeted in unison, “Mr. Landon!”
“Landon, why did you come over?” Cornelius’ face darkened.
“I came to find Jasper, of course.”
Landon coldly swept his gaze over the Harpers, and the bodyguards were so scared they lowered their
heads. “Luckily, I came. If I hadn’t, I would have missed this good show.”
In fact, he had received the news from his girlfriend, Lauren.
Initially, he was outside discussing a project. Lauren was alone in the villa, watching a show with
Angelina.
Midway through, she received a call from Nina, saying that Jasper was in trouble. The Harpers had
come
to pressure him into marriage, causing quite a commotion.
Worried, Lauren contacted Landon to come and help resolve the situation.
Since Lauren made a request, Landon had to fulfill it, especially when the person involved was his best
friend. He abandoned his business discussions and raced over immediately.
“Okay, okay. Hurry up and bring your best friend down.” Cornelius was furious.

If Cornelius weren’t someone with a bit of stature, an ordinary old man would probably have exploded
in a
string of expletives.
Nevertheless, he couldn’t endure it any longer.
“Mr. Javier, is this how you’re going to handle this matter? Your son has almost ruined Zoe, but he’s still
pestering his ex-wife right in front of us. Do you believe you can toy with my family?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmCornelius angrily picked up a teacup from the coffee table and hurled it to the ground.
The Harpers’ bodyguards rushed forward as if the cup smashing was a signal.
This frightened Sophia so much that the color was drained from her face. Instantly, she hid behind
Javier.
The Harper family rose from the underworld, and everyone in Solana City knew about it.
With the bodyguards, they looked like they were about to clash with the Beckett family.
“Mr. Cornelius, what are you doing?” Javier’s eyes burned with intensity. “Our family isn’t one to be
trifled
with either!”
“Hmph, rest assured, this is a society governed by law. I’m tired of the days when people kill at every
turn.”
Cornelius’s eyes slowly darkened as he continued, “I just want to tell you that I’m very angry at what
Jasper did tonight. When my anger flares, who knows what consequences it might bring?”
Upon hearing that, Javier clenched his fists, barely able to control his anger.
Wasn’t that a blatant threat?
