Jasper patted the back of Landon''s hand to calm him down. The veins were bulging from the back of


    his hand.


    "I know that you have been investigating Bill''s cause of death all these years. Moreover, you''ve always


    had your suspicions about Preston, who has the strongest motive. It''s just that you haven''t found any


    evidence.


    "Sylvia is now bringing up divorce with Preston out of the blue. She even drafted this divorce


    agreement with such exorbitant demands. I''m certain that she has something on Preston—something


    that is fatally threatening to him.


    "Even if it''s unrted to Bill''s death, it has to be something that will cause him to suffer the


    consequences of his own actions and spend the rest of his life in prison."


    "It must have been Preston! Who else could it have been?"


    Landon was reminded of Bill''s death once again. An immense pain filled his heart, and his eyes


    became bloodshot.


    "Back then, both he and my father went to Southsmire for an inspection. The helicopter that they were


    on was flying over the sea when the main gearbox malfunctioned. It caused the aircraft to plunge right


    into the sea. The craft sank in no time.


    "My father did put on a life jacket at the time. However, the craft was sinking too fast. Furthermore, the


    cabin was a confined space. He had no chance to escape at all. In the end, my father, alongside three


    other high-level executives from the corporation, as well as the pilot, lost their lives!


    "Preston... Preston was the only one who survived!"


    Jasper pursed his lips tightly.


    "How could it have been so coincidental? How was he the only one who got lucky?"


    Landon was devastated. He mmed his palms on his desk. "My father spent his entire life working


    hard for Harper Group. He contributed to charities enthusiastically. Step by step, he tried to wipe off the


    corporation''s dark side and bring the entire family back on the right track.


    "He was such an outstanding, hardworking, kind man. Why did the heavens have to take his life? I


    don''t believe that God would be so unfair!"


    Jasper had a serious look on his face. "Everyone else died while Preston was the only one who


    survived.


    That is indeed quite strange."


    "Exactly! Prepillon doesn''t even have nine lives!"


    "Back then, Preston could escape from the craft''s cabin because he had a small ss breaker with


    him. He smashed the window and swam to the surface."


    In a raspy and resentful voice, Angelina exined, "After that, he exined that he had the habit of


    carrying such a tool. He also defended himself by saying he wasn''t a good swimmer, so he couldn''t


    rescue Mr. Bill. He imed that if he had tried to save him, both of them would have ended up


    drowning.


    "That was such poor defense. Who would believe him? He was just banking on the fact that he had


    power at Harper Group back then. He then oppressed Mr. Landon as he was still young; there was no


    one to back him and his mother up!"


    Jasper stayed silent for a moment. Then, he took a deep breath and said, "Even if Preston advertised


    that he was the one who murdered Bill, it would still be difficult to prosecute him. So many years have


    passed. Furthermore, there has been no concrete evidence.


    "Just take my mother''s case as an example. Nina hid herself and recorded Sophia''s confession. Tessa,


    who served my mother back then, was found and testified in court. If not for them, it would''ve been a


    much bigger challenge to avenge my mother."


    Landon gritted his teeth. His eyes were filled with fury.


    "That said, perhaps we can try our luck with Sylvia."


    Jasper knitted his brows together suddenly. "As Preston''s partner, she must know a lot of his secrets."


    "I heard Mr. Cornelius has handled all the procedures for Preston to migrate overseas. He won''t allow


    him to return to Sna City. It''s clear that he wants to give up on himpletely."


    Angelina muttered, "Preston is being chased out of the family without any power. He has also been


    incapacitated. He is no longer a threat. It is no wonder Sylvia dared to suggest divorce at this crucial


    timing despite not having a strong family background."


    "The divorce is indeed a good opportunity."


    Jasper narrowed his eyes. His stern gaze was chilling. "She will be free of the Harpers. She''ll also no


    longer have Preston to rely on. It would be a piece of cake to get hold of Sylvia."


    Belonging ? N?velDram/a.Org.


    Landon understood what Jasper meant. He nodded in agreement.


    Jordan, who was standing by the side, was deeply admiring Jasper. At the same time, he was shaking


    in his boots. Jasper was thorough with his thoughts. His considerations were deep, too.


    Other than Alyssa, there were probably only a handful of people who could beat him.


    Immediately, Landon ordered in a cold voice, "Jordan, go and keep your eyes on Sylvia these few


    days. Once her divorce with Preston has been finalized, inform me stat."


    "Got it, Mr. Landon!" Jordan rushed off to see to his task.


    Jasper reminded, "You need to also be prepared for the possibility that she''d refuse to admit to


    anything."


    "I have ways to deal with stubborn people. Even if she couldn''t spill anything about this, I can make her


    spill about other things."


    Then, Landon smiled brightly, just like he used to. "It''s gettingte. We haven''t spent time together in a


    while. Shall we go for a meal?"


    Jasper returned a slight smile. "Sounds good."
