Why? Landon and his family did not deserve it!


    Preston persistently begged, “Dad, give me some time. I promise I’ll take care of it! I’ve been settling


    problems for thepany over the years. You should trust me!”


    “Enough. The decision’s been made.” Cornelius frowned, visibly irritated. “I admit I have not paid much


    attention to Landon in the past. I’ll consider this a test for him. As his uncle, you should guide and


    advise him.”


    He rendered Preston speechless. Once Zoe noticed that Cornelius had sided with her family, she took


    the opportunity and suggested, Grandpa, I have another solution to help us out of the crisis. Have you


    forgotten about it?”


    “What solution is that?”


    “Didn’t you agree to discuss marriage with Uncle Javier?” Zoe blinke feigning innocence.


    Penelope’s heart sank upon hearing that. “Zoe! Why bring it up?”


    “Proposing a marriage? Zoe, stop embarrassing yourself.” Preston snickered. “Remember, your


    scandal on the horseracing event is still out there for the world to see.


    “No esteemed family would want to take you as a daughter-inw, not to mention the Beckett Family;


    that would make them the enemies of the Taylors.”


    Zoe shot daggers at Preston as she seethed. When she was about to retort, Cornelius said sternly,


    “Indeed. We need to propose a marriage.


    Preston was shocked by Cornelius’ odd decision, especially when the Harpers were at the center of the


    storm.


    “It will be advantageous for us to forge a marriage with the Becketts. I foresee our stock price


    rebounding, and that will quell the voice of dissent in thepany. The Becketts will equally benefit


    from the marriage because they need a boost of investor confidence after Sophia Kirkman’s scandal.

    “The Beckett Group and Jesselton Incorporated remain in the honeymoon phase of their partnership. If


    the arranged marriage is sessful, we could benefit from that partnership as well.


    “If that happens, we can shake off the problems from the horseracing event,” Cornelius analyzed, his


    eyes sparkling with excitement.


    Zoe blushed shyly, secretly ted.


    “Dad, I had the same idea, but it takes two to tango. We have to get the Becketts to agree to it. Haven’t


    you seen Jasper with Alyssa? He seems dead set on marrying her.


    “Besides, Javier will have to rely on Jasper since Justin wants to stay out of the business. Zoe will


    never get to marry Jasper without Javier’s blessing,” Prestonmented.


    His remark made sense. Cornelius grew serious and muttered, “Right. This is a problem.”


    “Jasper Beckett is a love fool. I bet he wouldn’t consider dating anyone else unless Alyssa dies.”


    Preston clicked his tongue.


    As a man, he understood Jasper’s feelings. He spotted the same affection in the way Landon looked at


    Lauren.


    When the Harpers were deep in thought, Zoe’s phone rang. Her chest tightened when she checked the


    caller ID, and she hurried out of the room to answer the call in a quiet corner.


    A few minutester, Zoe skipped her way back to Cornelius’ room. She sat by his bed and sped his


    hands with a sly and excited look. She purred, “Grandpa, don’t lose sleep over it. I have a way of


    making Jasper and Alyssa break up. The Becketts will have no choice but to ept me.”
