‘Is it because she’s Sophia Kirkman’s daughter?” Angelina asked.


    Landon’s voice was hoarse when he answered, “Yes.”


    “But if you truly like her, then you should try and work things out together.”


    Angelina really wanted her boss to be with Lauren. She was such an endearing girl.


    Angelina continued, “If you were in a rtionship with Ms. Lauren, you’d literally save her from a life of


    suffering. Betty Beckett wouldn’t dare do anything to her sister anymore.”


    “As if she dares to now.” Landon’s eyes darkened.


    “But wouldn’t you feel much more secure with Ms. Lauren by your side all the time? Think about it-if


    Ms.


    Lauren became your wife, that’d be the greatest p in Betty’s face.


    “She wouldn’t even daree near Ms. Lauren anymore. Because if she did, she’d be waging war


    against


    all of us. You wouldn’t even need to tell me before I cut her tongue out!” Angelina exined.


    She was this close to calling Lauren “Madam


    He cursed, pondering when they would finally have the chance to be together.


    “But did you ever consider what it would mean for both our families if I married Lauren? Our families


    would be allied. Think about what would happen to our footing in the city,” Landon said slowly, turning


    around to face Angelina.


    He was strangely reasonable as he continued, “I still have Preston to worry about, and I have no full


    control of the family business yet. Jasper’s situation in his family isn’t very stable either.


    “If I married Sophia’s daughter right now, what would Jasper think of me? That power-hungry uncle of a


    man would take advantage and take full control alongside Sophia. I might even drag Jasper down in


    the


    process!”


    “But sir


    “I will never forget how my father died, Angelina.” Landon sank into a nearby bench, sping his head


    as


    if he were having a migraine.


    Landon continued, “I will never forget how distraught my mother was the night news of my father’s


    death


    reached her how she stood outside in the rain the entire night, crying….


    “I’ll never forget how, during my father’s funeral, my own uncle Preston grinned in the corner like some


    my way of that!”


    Angelina knelt before her boss, gently caressing his quivering back.


    “I’m going to take back everything that belonged to my father, Angelina, I can’t afford to make any


    mistakes before that happens!”


    Alyssa arrived at KS World Hotel for work in the morning and to do the final check-up on the birthday


    celebration venue for L. She’d just returned to her office when Jasper called her.


    “Yes, Mr. Beckett?” she asked tly, as if whatever happenedst night didn’t.


    “Lyse,” Jasper murmured.


    “Who’s Lyse? There’s only Ms. Alyssa Taylor here.”


    “Has Grandpa called you at any point today?” Jasper asked, making Alyssa tense up


    “Grandpa? No, he hasn’t. Why? Did something happen to him?”


    “Not him, but Lauren.”


    “Lauren?” Alyssa gasped.


    “I didn’t go back to Seaview Manorst night. Only when Grandpa called earlier to ask me why Landon


    had taken Lauren away did I get to know something happened with my family.” There was exhaustion

    Jasper’s voice, with a tinge of rage. “I tried calling Landon earlier, but none of the calls went through.”


    “He’s done for now!” Alyssa hissed, mming a hand on the table as she stood up. “I knew that


    jackass


    was up to no good when he brought Lauren to that hotelst time, yet you kept defending him! He’s


    nothing but a sick pervert!”
