Can’t Win Me Back novel (Alyssa and Jasper) novel Chapter 1546

Preston gave Sylvia a sidelong glance. He looked annoyed. He felt that this was a crucial moment. What she had just said was unnecessary.

Lauren was Sophia's daughter. At the same time, she was also Javier's daughter. She was his precious daughter. There was no doubt about that.

He had thoughts about making use of Lauren for his own purposes. But he certainly wasn't going to allow Landon to marry her.

Should Landon choose to marry her, he would be formally establishing a marital alliance with a prosperous family. Plus, Javier would end up becoming his father-in-law.

Wasn't that simply allowing Landon to become even more powerful?

What he needed to do now was to decide between two options.

One option was to use Lauren to threaten Landon so that Landon wouldn't be able to become president.

Or he could take a step back and allow him to become the president. But he certainly had to prevent the marriage with the Beckett family.

Landon's words made the tension in the dining room rise.

Cornelius raised his eyebrows in surprise. Neither did he look at Landon nor say anything in response.

Penelope couldn't hold herself back. She chimed in, "Don't you know the rules at our family dinners, Landon? Only our own family members are allowed to attend family dinners. It's inappropriate for you to bring an outsider!"

"An outsider?"

Landon felt a ball of fury rise within him. His face turned frigid instantly. His eyes narrowed dangerously. "No worries. Lauren will no longer be an outsider soon enough. She will be my wife. She will become part of our Harper family."

Penelope felt a lump in her throat. "Why are you bringing this up again, Landon? Do you think this is the right time to talk about this?"

"I decided to come tonight because of this."
