Aftering out from Harper Corporation, Preston made a call to Zoe the moment he got into his car.


    "You are indeed a genius, Zoe! How did youe up with such a well-crafted n? I''m sorry that I


    raised my voice at you previously."


    "I''ve told you that I won''t disappoint you, Uncle Preston. Just listen to me next time and you''ll have


    good days ahead of you," Zoe boasted light-heartedly.


    That mastermind was amazing. Even if she had three heads, she wouldn''t have been able toe up


    with a detailed and evil scheme like this.


    "Oh, right. There''s something that I have to tell you." Preston grinned slyly. "It''s about what you said


    last time. You said that if we released the video of Lauren having a meltdown, we wouldn''t have to get


    our hands dirty."


    "Oh? Are you telling me that Grandpa intends to separate the lovebirds himself?" This time, Zoe was


    quick off the mark.


    "You''re smart." In his luxury car, Preston crossed his legs rxedly. He sipped on the tea that his


    secretary had prepared for him.


    "Dad will be the one taking action. Since this is the case, he will be the one to take the hit even if


    Landon wants to take his revenge. We won''t be implicated.


    "But Zoe, I''m just afraid that this will not curb Landon''s determination to marry Ms. Lauren. He is willing


    to do anything."


    "Well, even if he wishes to marry her, she might not feel the same." Zoe sneered. "I have a backup n


    to ensure that his dream ispletely crushed. Don''t worry."


    Lauren lost consciousness on the way to the hospital.


    Landon stayed by her side the entire time while she underwent various body checks. He stared nkly


    as Lauren''s limp body was being moved about like a soulless puppet.


    His heart broke again and again. Tears flowed down his face uncontrobly.


    After repeated testing, the doctor finally came out of the emergency room. He reported, "Mr. Harper,


    your wife doesn''t have any physical wounds on her body, nor were there any signs of assault."


    Landon''s eyes were wide and filled with surprise. "Then, why is she..."


    "It''s probably because she experienced great psychological distress which caused somatization. Other


    than that, she was too agitated, anxious, and terrified.


    "These resulted in her experiencing a tightness in her chest and shortness of breath. Hence, she


    showed signs of respiratory alkalosis. That''s why she ended up convulsing and passing out."


    The doctor had a concerned look on his face. "What you need now is to pay more attention to your


    wife''s psychological condition. I am not a psychiatrist, but I can tell that her condition doesn''t look very


    optimistic. You should transfer her to a psychiatric hospital and get her checked as soon as possible."


    There was a quiver in Landon''s pupils as his heart dropped.


    Preston didn''t hurt Lauren.


    No, from the very beginning, he never intended to harm her physically. Instead, he wanted to break her


    mentally.


    He knew about Lauren''s autism. Hence, he took an evil approach to cause her to have aplete


    breakdown.


    "Mr. Landon!" Jordan rushed to Landon''s side and wiped off the sweat on his forehead. "We found Ms.


    Angelina!"

    "Where is she?" Landon asked in a trembling voice. His heart was racing.


    His mind was extremely tense. He was afraid that Jordan was about to tell him yet another devastating


    news.


    Jordan tried to catch his breath. He said, "It''s quiteplicated. I think... you should just wait for her to


    come over and exin to you in person."


    "So. Angie is still alive." Landon felt like he could breathe a little better now.


    In his life, Lauren surpassed everything. And, Angelina was his most trusted subordinate. She was his


    comrade and someone closer to him than family. If anything happened to Angelina.


    "Mr. Landon."
