Can’t Win Me Back novel (Alyssa and Jasper) novel Chapter 1790

Preston looked like he was trying to conceal his ill intentions. Landon stared at him through his dark and ferocious eyes.

That stare was full of threat indeed! In an instant, Preston felt like he was being choked. His chest tightened.

However, on second thought, he figured that he didn't have to fear Landon. He was his uncle and Cornelius' only son. All he wanted was to fight Landon to death, no matter the cost.

Cornelius stayed silent for a moment. Then, he said in a low voice, "Preston, all these while, Landon's reputation in the outside world and his business capabilities are pristine. In other words, he is the best candidate to be Harper Group's president.

"You have to give us a reason why you're stepping out to oppose this."

Preston puffed up his chest and lifted his head high. He shot a quick side glance at Landon's frigid face before turning to Cornelius.

"Dad."

"We are at a work meeting right now," Cornelius reminded. One thing that Cornelius always disliked about Preston was his unseriousness.

He was poles apart with his eldest son, Landon's father, who had passed away. They were incomparable.

"Mr. Cornelius." Preston changed his address unwillingly. "You pushed for Landon to become the president because you've identified him as the successor of our family. Is that right?"

Cornelius nodded.

"Since this is the case, that means that Landon's status is extremely important."

Preston looked like he was brewing a storm in a teacup. He continued to flatter Landon. "Not only is he Harper Group's president, as your only grandson, he is also the hope of our entire family. This is akin to a prince ascending to the throne."

"What are you trying to say?" Landon could tell that he didn't have good intentions. The look in his eyes became darker as he continued staring at him.

"What I'm trying to say is that your every move has an impact on our family's reputation. Thus, your marriage will have a massive impact on our family's future too."
