Can’t Win Me Back novel (Alyssa and Jasper) novel Chapter 1888

Landon's eyes darkened at those words. "You dialed the wrong number. If it's an emergency, call the police. I don't deal with that."

Call the police? Sylvia couldn't possibly do that.

After all these years of being with Preston, she wasn't totally innocent either. If she called the police, they would dig up her secrets, and she would inevitably end up in prison.

"Landon! Preston has gone mad! H-He killed your grandfather!" Sylvia hoarsely shouted.

Landon was stunned, abruptly turning around. Every inch of his face tensed up tightly, his heart pounding fiercely against his chest.

"What did you say? Say it again!"

"Just last night... Preston arranged to meet Cornelius at Primrose Manor. When I found out, I followed him there to discuss my divorce with Cornelius.

"But I saw with my own eyes Preston and Frank dragging out two body bags from the villa. I even heard Preston tell Frank to clean up the bodies of Cornelius and his secretary!"

Sylvia recounted anxiously as the terrifying scene replayed in her mind. "I was so scared. I turned around and ran, but they saw me! They must have seen my car and recognized it was me, so since last night, I've been hiding in a motel. I don't even dare step outside!

"Preston's men must be desperately searching for me. Once I get out of here, he'll definitely kill me! If he dares to kill his own father, there's no reason for him not to kill me!"

"The bodies… Did he say how he'd dispose of the bodies?" Landon's mind was in turmoil. Even his voice was shaking.

"To the West... He told Frank to take the bodies West, but I don't know exactly where..."

"Angie, stay here," Landon quickly said. Without explaining further, he turned and swiftly disappeared into the crowd.

Sylvia was still talking and crying on the phone, but he couldn't hear anything. He completely relied on his body's instincts to stride forward.

In his crimson eyes, scenes of happy families and smiling faces flashed.

It felt as if he was the only one in this world collapsing into darkness.
