Can’t Win Me Back by Ginger Sue

"Landon! Are you out of your mind? What are you talking about?" Penelope was
so mad that she started shaking.
Cornelius stared straight at Landon. The tension between them was so thick that
it could be cut with a knife.
The thing he was most worried about had happened. Landon had gotten more
and more powerful. He had achieved so much that he dominated over him.
Landon was like Alexander the Great in his prime. However, Cornelius himself
was no longer the powerful Philip II!
He was getting old. He was losing control over Landon. Moreover, he was his
only grandson. While Preston harbored ambition, he lacked the competence to
match his aspirations. The Harper Group's future still had to be in Landon's
hands.
However, Cornelius couldn't give in just like that. As the head of the family, he
was being threatened by his grandson! He felt humiliated.
Right at that moment, Preston's cell phone vibrated. He pulled it out and glanced
at it impatiently.
His eyes widened suddenly. He got up to answer the call outside.
There was no one in the corridor. Preston answered the phone call. "Hi, Zoe. To
what do I owe the pleasure of receiving your call?"
"I miss you, Uncle Preston," Zoe said in a forcefully honeyed voice. The sound of
her voice was enough to give one goosebumps.
"There's been much less laughter at home because you're not in Solana City.
Cornelius and Penelope had abandoned you. I really can't stomach that."
Preston lit a cigarette. He narrowed his eyes and took a puff of his cigarette.
Despite sounding cheerful earlier, Zoe now choked on her tears. "I wish I could
go back home too. But I'm sure you also know that Landon hates me to the core.
"I've been feeling so lonely at Yoarkley. Not being able to go back home makes
me feel as if I've been sentenced to death! Uncle Preston, I want to go home. I
miss Grandpa and Mom.
"I know that you love me the most, Uncle Preston. Would you mind talking to
Grandpa about letting me return to Solana City?"
"I wish that you could come back too. But even your grandfather doesn't have a
say now. Landon is the one who is in control of the Harper family."
Preston was well aware that the relationship between Landon and Zoe had
strained beyond salvage. He seized the opportunity to sow discord again.
"Furthermore, Landon just told us that he wants to marry Ms. Lauren. He said
that it had to be her. Once they get married, even I won't have a place in this
family. As much as I want to help you, my hands will also be tied!"
Zoe was silent for a moment. Out of the blue, she lowered her voice. "I might be
able to help you, Uncle Preston. If so, would you be able to think of a way to help
me return to Solana City?"
"You're saying that you can help me? How are you able to do so?"

He took the opportunity to share his

"I can do that, Uncle Preston. However, I'll need to first leave Yoarkley and return
home. Only then will I be able to help you.”
"Landon is an impatient man. I wouldn't be surprised if he registers his marriage
with Lauren tomorrow. It might be too late if we wait for you to come back."

Zoe scoffed. "Uncle Preston, you
cannot oppose them. Not just that,
you need to show that you are fully
supportive of them at this time. It
would be best if you are able to
convince Grandpa to approve their

"What did you say? But why?" Preston was perplexed.
"I have my own reasons for saying so."
