Can’t Win Me Back novel (Alyssa and Jasper) novel Chapter 1548

"Landon! Are you out of your mind? What are you talking about?" Penelope was so mad that she started shaking.

Cornelius stared straight at Landon. The tension between them was so thick that it could be cut with a knife.

The 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 II!

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 I 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.

"There's been much less laughter at home because you're not in Solana City. Cornelius and Penelope had abandoned you. I really can't stomach that." Preston lit a cigarette. He narrowed his eyes and took a puff of his cigarette.

Despite sounding cheerful earlier, Zoe now choked on her tears. "I wish I could go back home too. But I'm sure you also know that Landon hates me to the core.

"I can do that, Uncle Preston. However, I'll need to first leave Yoarkley and return home. Only then will I be able to help you."

"Landon is an impatient man. I wouldn't be surprised if he registers his marriage with Lauren tomorrow. It might be too late if we wait for you to come back."

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 some suspense by saying, "First, get this done properly. Wait for my return to Solana City for what comes after. I already have some plans in mind."
