Can’t Win Me Back novel (Alyssa and Jasper) novel Chapter 1836

"Grandpa, I know you are an expert at weighing pros and cons. I have laid out my cards. Please take your time to consider your choice." After that, Landon slowly rose from his seat and rubbed out the cigarette on the tabletop.

"Stop!" Cornelius called out to Landon. In a shaking voice, he obliged, "I agree… I agree to your conditions!"

"Dad, I sacrificed so much for the Harper Group. How could you do this to me to protect yourself?" Preston's eyes bulged from surprise.

"That's enough. Don't flatter yourself." Shameful and enraged, Cornelius growled, "You and I know who's the one who made real sacrifices for Harper Group. It was Bill—Landon's dad—your brother!

"Even without these scandalous photos, I have plans to kick you out anyway. Did you really think I was clueless about your crimes behind my back? I was merely turning a blind eye because I couldn't be bothered.

"I'll take the chance today to get rid of a thorn in my side. You do not have to report to work at Harper Group anymore. From now on, you have nothing to do with the board of directors and the annual shareholders' meeting."

Cornelius was great at giving himself an out.

"You're turning your back on me?" Preston stomped in anger. Despite his age, he reverted to a child whenever he threw a fit in front of his father. He seemed truly agitated and worried this time.

Cornelius barked at him, "Get lost right now!"

Preston knew that no amount of argument would turn his situation around. He had no choice but to glare at Cornelius before leaving in defeat. He slammed the door behind him as he left.

Landon asked flatly, "When are we issuing the official notice of Preston's termination?"

"Within this week…"

Landon cast a dangerous squint at Cornelius, who immediately changed his mind. "It'll be done tomorrow morning!"

"Great. I shall wait for the good news." Landon left the meeting room in great strides as Jordan followed closely behind him.
