"In fact, I have long known that Landon inherited Bill''s fine genes. He''s fearless yet clear-headed.


    Moreover, he became good friends with Jasper, who is an outstanding elite in the business world. His


    future will only get brighter.


    "I was the one who was too harsh in his upbringing. I always made use of Preston to put pressure on


    him. Not only that, I kept splitting hairs just to prevent his marriage with Ms. Lauren from happening.


    That was how everything spiraled out of control.


    "If I had known that it woulde to this, I should have handed the power to Landon and retired long


    ago. He has always been my ideal sessor! It''s all my fault. As I aged, my suspicions grew, and so


    did my hesitation. The decisiveness that I had when I was young is nowhere in sight now..."


    Caspian consoled him immediately. "Please don''t say that. Without your guidance all these years, how


    could Mr. Landon have lived such a smooth life? Your strict standards toward Mr. Landon were just


    your way of training him up."


    Cornelius let out a long sigh. He put his signature down on a few of the transfer documents. Cornelius


    then called for his attorney, who had been working for him for years. He handed the documents to him


    and instructed him to hand them over to Landon after the crisis was over.


    Right after that, his cell phone rang.


    Belonging ? N?velDram/a.Org.


    Cornelius saw that the caller was Preston. Initially, he wasn''t nning to answer the call. But he


    thought about how he was leaving Sna City soon. Every beginning should have an end. So, he


    answered his phone.


    "You haven''t left the country yet, Preston?"


    "Dad, you really can''t wait for me to bugger off, huh?" Preston chuckled casually.


    Cornelius'' face turned solemn. "It''ste. Why did you call?"


    "I heard that you have been packing your things these few days. Are you getting ready to leave Sna


    City?"


    "Yes, I''m nning to leave. The corporation is slowly being transitioned over to Landon. The chaotic


    situation has also been contained. It''s time for me to retire."


    "You''re leaving, and so am I. We probably won''t have another chance to meet after we part ways this


    time. I''m guessing you wouldn''t want to see this useless son of yours again." Preston belittled himself


    and sighed.


    Cornelius furrowed his brows. "I''m not holding any grudges against you. Don''t overthink it."


    "Dad, I''m now at the manor you bought for Mom."


    Preston''s tone suddenly became tender and full of sadness. "Your achievements in business today are


    also thanks to Mom being a good helper to you. The both of you were also very much in love. Now that


    you''re about to leave, aren''t you going to take some of Mom''s things with you for remembrance? "I''m


    also thinking of using this opportunity to see you onest time. If you still see me as your son, you


    shoulde and bid me farewell."


    Cornelius pondered over Preston''s suggestion. He then replied in a low voice, "Alright. I''ll head over


    shortly."


    "I''ll be waiting here for you then."


    Cornelius left with Caspian. Not long after, Sylvia arrived at the Harper residence.


    Today, she had waited for Preston for an entire day. Neither did he show up nor did he answer her


    calls. She became mad and decided to make a surprise visit to Cornelius. She wanted to vent more


    about Preston to Cornelius.


    "What? Mr. Cornelius has gone out? Where did he go?" Sylvia probed the butler anxiously.


    "I think... he is headed for Primrose Manor."


    Upon hearing the answer, Sylvia turned to leave.


    Cornelius wouldn''t head over to Primrose Manor for no reason. Sylvia was certain that Preston was


    there.


    She fully intended to make Preston sign the divorce agreement that night, no matter what. Even if she


    could wait, her lover couldn''t!
