Landon was so angry that he gnashed his teeth so hard that it hurt.
The death of his father was the greatest source of pain in his life. He would feel a
pang of pain just hearing his father's name. But now, Cornelius was using Bill's
death to attack him, all for the sake of protecting Zoe.
It was a disgrace to Bill.
"Do you know that your mother fainted on the spot when she heard that Zoe was
admitted to the emergency room? Luckily, the servants were there to catch her in
time. Otherwise, if she had collapsed and hit her head, you might have lost her."
Cornelius continued, "Landon, I know you're close with Jasper and Alyssa, but
never forget that you are a member of the Harper family. You're about to become
Harper Group's president—my successor.
"At this crucial moment, you should focus on managing the company's affairs.
Other matters don't need your attention.”
Cornelius stared at Landon coldly. "I heard that you have already taken your
girlfriend to propose to the Beckett family privately and have met with the
Becketts."
Landon’s heart skipped a beat.
"You haven't arranged for me to meet Mr. Javier because you wanted to wait until
the appointment is official. By then, you'll have enough confidence to formally
propose to the Beckett family."
When Cornelius noticed the change in Landon’s expression, he knew he had the
upper hand. He sat back leisurely in his chair.
"Mr. Javier is a man of high standards. He's renowned for being difficult to please
in the business world of Solana City. If you want him to fully accept you as his
son-in-law, you need to show sincerity. Don't you think so, Landon?"
In the hospital, Julien administered the medicine Jameson had sent to Winston
right after he found out it was safe.
The next morning, amidst the anxious prayers and anticipation, Winston
gradually woke up and opened his eyes.
"Dad!" Alyssa couldn't contain her excitement and rushed to hug Winston tightly.
"Oh my... You're suffocating me. It seems that Jasper really feeds you well,"
Winston teased weakly as he patted Alyssa’s back.
Inwardly, he was overjoyed. "I just came back from the brink of death. Are you
trying to send me back?
"Dad, don't say such things!"
The mix of relief and joy from their reunion made Alyssa hold Winston even
tighter. Her eyes shone with tears of happiness. "What brink of death? You were
just asleep and woke up."
Winston sighed and smiled weakly. "Lyse, this is my body. How could I not know
my condition?
"I'm getting old... really old. Before, even if the sky fell, I thought I could bear it.
But now, without anything happening, I've already fallen.”
Alyssa's eyes stung with pain, and she felt a lump in her throat.
