Can’t Win Me Back novel (Alyssa and Jasper) novel Chapter 2039

"Landon?"

Alyssa's eyes widened. She stared at Landon's handsome face in shock. In an instant, her eyes lit up!

"Mr. Landon?" Colene, who was standing beside her, was also astonished.

She was aware that Landon had only been staying by Lauren's side ever since she was hurt. He had no time for the business world or the underworld. He had been keeping a low profile.

Other than at Cornelius' funeral, he hadn't reappeared in public. This was the second public appearance since then.

The rebelling division heads, including Harry, were staggered to witness Landon's entrance. Some of them were so shocked that they stumbled backward.

Landon was no longer just a Harper family member. He had now taken over as their head!

"Hello, Ms. Colene. Hi, Lyse."

Landon narrowed his eyes slightly. He slipped his black coat off his broad shoulders. Jordan, who was behind him, caught it in his hands.

"Jasper told me that there would be a big upheaval at The Ivory today and asked me to come over. I love to be part of the excitement. I can see that he really didn't lie to me," Landon chuckled.

Looking into Landon's bright eyes, Alyssa pressed her trembling lips together. She welled up with tears.

She tried her best to control her emotions so that she wouldn't actually cry.

How long had it been since the last time she saw a smile like that on Landon's face? It was a long, long time ago…

He was a man who used to roam freely and proudly throughout Solana City. After such an arduous journey, this man had finally returned.

"Everyone, I'm sure that I am no stranger to any of you."

Landon looked at everyone in the room with a perfunctory smile. Then, he fixed his cold eyes on Harry. "Although my grandfather is no longer around, the Harper family has started to engage in legitimate businesses. As the saying goes, 'Every cloud has a silver lining.'"

He looked down and fiddled with the platinum wedding ring on his ring finger. "To those of you who walk out from this place today—Not only will The Ivory disown you, but you will also not be recognized by the Harper family.

"The world can be a dark and cruel place. I wish you all the best."

These words were, without a doubt, words of threat!

"Out of everyone in The Ivory, you are the one who worked with my father for the longest time, Harry. You've even carried me when I was young."

Colene watched Harry's stiff and slightly trembling body from the back. She let out a long sigh. In a solemn voice, she said, "The Ivory does not belong to my father alone. It is the fruit of everyone's labor.

"As long as you're willing to turn back and never touch that drug again, my father and I will close an eye on all that happened today."

After a few seconds of silence, Harry still ended up walking out of the conference room under everyone's watchful eyes.

Harry chose to leave The Ivory. But the other division heads had chosen to stay. The organization's foundation was safe.

As for the subordinates who were feeling unsettled, they had both Alyssa and Landon there to reassure them. Even if they intended to leave, they no longer dared to make rash decisions.

Colene's blouse was drenched in sweat by the time the meeting ended. She looked absolutely drained. "Damn it… I can say that I understand Nathan now. He has really been having it difficult all these years."

After saying that, a sharp pain pierced through her heart; her eyes were filled with tears.

"Don't worry, Colene. Jasper and I will think of a way to get Mr. Nathan out."
