Chapter 1835

Landon's words dropped a bomb in the meeting room. Face reddened, Preston slammed his hand

on the table and bellowed, "Landon Harper, are you kicking me out? Are you fucking asleep? You

were a baby when I was working alongside your grandpa!”

The uncle and nephew finally had a fallout as there were no outsiders around.

"Landon, don't cross the line!" Cornelius chastised his grandson, whom he deemed insane. "I know

what's in your mind. You're just trying to avenge Lauren!

"At the end of the day, you're a Harper and the president of the Harper Group. Your dad had

contributed to the company’s success too. How can you answer Bill if you make a mess in the

company?

"Besides, your Uncle Preston did not do anything wrong. Lauren has mental issues. Are you sure you

can take care of her forever after you married her? You don't have that patience; you can never do

it! You should end your relationship now rather than regretting it in the future.”

"Grandpa, I have just one question for you.” Landon stubbornly went off-tangent, ignoring

Cornelius’ remark. "Do you agree with my decision to kick Preston Harper out of the company?"

"How could you demand a director to leave the board without undergoing due process? You're not

serious. Do you take the company as a clubhouse, thinking that you can get anything you want with

an order?" Cornelius barked at him.

"Fine." Landon leaned into his chair and raised his voice. “Jordan, come in!"

Jordan, seemingly appearing from thin air, shuffled to his side. "Yes, Mr. Landon.”

"Grandpa, your birthday is in a few months, isn't that right? Well, it's not your 80th birthday, but I

have a big gift for you.” Taking a leather envelope from Jordan's hand, he tossed it in front of

Cornelius.

Cornelius picked up the envelope with a frown. He took out a stack of photos from within. Every

single photo was him holding and hugging hot ladies on a luxury cruise. If any one of them leaked,

he would be publicly humiliated.

Preston had wandered over to take a peek, only to be yelled at by Cornelius. "Back off!"

Then, Cornelius turned to Landon, his cheeks twitching in anger. "W-What do you want to do?"

"Grandpa, you're really something. You're still a casanova at this age, just as charming as you used

to be.” Landon took a cigarette out of the box and shoved it between his lips. Jordan immediately

helped light the cigarette.

Landon added, "Too bad that greed is endless. At your age, you should focus on taking care of your

health.”

Preston instantly formed a guess about the photos, which sent a shiver down his spine. The cruise

meeting was tightly protected with armed security. How did Landon manage to shoot photos of the

event?

"If you refuse to agree to my demands, I will have no choice but to distribute the photos. The public

can have a good look at my charming grandpa.” Squinting, Landon took a long drag of the cigarette

before putting it out.

Trembling violently, Cornelius seethed. "You—"

"These are not all. Oh, trust me, I have a lot of dirt on you." Landon lazily puffed a smoke ring, eyes

half closed. "Every single one of the evidence might land you in jail for life."

“Landon Harper, are you fucking mad? Grandpa raised you from when you were a kid. How could

you stab him in the back over a woman? You're an ingrate; you're worse than an animal!" Preston

could not believe the lengths that Landon had gone to.

"Lauren isn't just any woman. She's... my wife, and she'll be my only wife in this life." Landon held

back his tears. "I'm just fulfilling my duty as a husband. Whoever bullies my wife will pay a price."

Even if Lauren dumped him one day, he'd still love her as much as before. Even if they had to be

separated, he'd always see her as his wife.

At the same time, Cornelius pressed a hand on his chest after being threatened by Landon. Landon

had gone mad. How could he turn the Harper Group upside down for a woman?
