Landon took a step forward expressionlessly but was stopped by Preston.
Preston forced a smile. "Landon, let's be civil here. Zoe is your sister, after all.
Don't be angry at her. I've watched you and Zoe grow up. I still remember how
much you doted on her when you were still a kid..."
"This is our family matter. Do you even have a say in this?" Landon replied
frostily, without a care for Preston.
The smile froze on Preston's face.
"Landon, he's your uncle. How could you talk to him with that attitude?"
Penelope's face flushed in anger and embarrassment.
Landon ignored Penelope and focused on Zoe. He said, "I need to talk to Zoe.
Can the two of you step out for a bit?"
Zoe shook like a leaf in Penelope's arms.
Of course, Penelope would never leave Zoe to face Landon alone. She
immediately declined, "We're all family here, including Preston. Just spit it out.”
"Fine. I wanted to be respectful, but you don't seem to care for Preston and Zoe's
dignity. So be it; not like I care.” Landon approached Zoe and barked, "Zoe
Harper, you're smart to come up with faking sickness to return and work with
Uncle Preston.
"Uncle Preston is really something, too. How did he get you drugs to stop your
heart? Pretty ruthless of him, eh? But it makes sense. You're not his child
anyway. If his plan works, you'll owe him a favor. If you die in the emergency
room, tough luck, but he will have nothing to do with it. He's really covered all the
bases."
Landon succinctly exposed the evil plan between Preston and Zoe. Their faces
fell.
Penelope's eyes darted between Preston and Landon in disbelief. "Landon, w-
what did you say?"
Landon smirked. "Mom, you dote on Zoe the most. When she got an injection or
took some medication, you'd lose sleep over it. But here, Uncle Preston fucking
fed your daughter drugs.
"Sure, Zoe might have made the wrong decision because she was young and
naive, but what about Uncle Preston? He should have known better."
Zoe turned white. Her eyes darted, and she didn't reply to the accusation. At the
same time, Penelope nearly lost her mind. She glared at Preston and questioned
in a shaky voice, "Preston, is Landon telling the truth?" "Penny, that's nonsense!"
More resilient and shameless than Zoe, Preston refuted, "I treat Zoe as my
daughter, and you know it. How in the world would I ever put her in harm's way?
"Besides, Landon's men had monitored Zoe's movements in Yoarkley like she
was a criminal. No one could get anywhere near her. Even if I wanted to, I
couldn't reach out to her."
Landon lazily taunted him, "Oh, Uncle Preston, you're being humble. If there's
anyone in the family who could do that, it'd be you. I know the details of the
crimes you committed over the years.
