Can’t Win Me Back novel (Alyssa and Jasper) novel Chapter 1869

Jasper patted the back of Landon's hand to calm him down. The veins were bulging from the back of his hand.

"I know that you have been investigating Bill's cause of death all these years. Moreover, you've always had your suspicions about Preston, who has the strongest motive. It's just that you haven't found any evidence.

"Sylvia is now bringing up divorce with Preston out of the blue. She even drafted this divorce agreement with such exorbitant demands. I'm certain that she has something on Preston—something that is fatally threatening to him.

"Even if it's unrelated to Bill's death, it has to be something that will cause him to suffer the consequences of his own actions and spend the rest of his life in prison."

"It must have been Preston! Who else could it have been?"

Landon was reminded of Bill's death once again. An immense pain filled his heart, and his eyes became bloodshot.

"Back then, both he and my father went to Southsmire for an inspection. The helicopter that they were on was flying over the sea when the main gearbox malfunctioned. It caused the aircraft to plunge right into the sea. The craft sank in no time.

"My father did put on a life jacket at the time. However, the craft was sinking too fast. Furthermore, the cabin was a confined space. He had no chance to escape at all. In the end, my father, alongside three other high-level executives from the corporation, as well as the pilot, lost their lives!

"Preston… Preston was the only one who survived!"

Jasper pursed his lips tightly.

"How could it have been so coincidental? How was he the only one who got lucky?"

Landon was devastated. He slammed his palms on his desk. "My father spent his entire life working hard for Harper Group. He contributed to charities enthusiastically. Step by step, he tried to wipe off the corporation's dark side and bring the entire family back on the right track.

"He was such an outstanding, hardworking, kind man. Why did the heavens have to take his life? I don't believe that God would be so unfair!"

Jasper had a serious look on his face. "Everyone else died while Preston was the only one who survived. That is indeed quite strange."

"Exactly! Prepillon doesn't even have nine lives!"

"Back then, Preston could escape from the craft's cabin because he had a small glass breaker with him. He smashed the window and swam to the surface."

In a raspy and resentful voice, Angelina explained, "After that, he explained that he had the habit of carrying such a tool. He also defended himself by saying he wasn't a good swimmer, so he couldn't rescue Mr. Bill. He claimed that if he had tried to save him, both of them would have ended up drowning.

"That was such poor defense. Who would believe him? He was just banking on the fact that he had power at Harper Group back then. He then oppressed Mr. Landon as he was still young; there was no one to back him and his mother up!"
