"Landon?"


    Alyssa''s eyes widened. She stared at Landon''s handsome face in shock. In an instant, her eyes lit up!


    "Mr. Landon?" Colene, who was standing beside her, was also astonished.


    She was aware that Landon had only been staying by Lauren''s side ever since she was hurt. He had no time for the business world or the underworld. He had been keeping a low profile. Other than at Cornelius'' funeral, he hadn''t reappeared in public. This was the second public appearance since then.


    The rebelling division heads, including Harry, were staggered to witness Landon''s entrance. Some of them were so shocked that they stumbled backward.


    Landon was no longer just a Harper family member. He had now taken over as their head!


    "Hello, Ms. Colene. Hi, Lyse."


    Landon narrowed his eyes slightly. He slipped his ck coat off his broad shoulders. Jordan, who was behind him, caught it in his hands.


    "Jasper told me that there would be a big upheaval at The Ivory today and asked me toe over. I love to be part of the excitement. I can see that he really didn''t lie to me," Landon chuckled. Looking into Landon''s bright eyes, Alyssa pressed her trembling lips together. She welled up with tears.


    She tried her best to control her emotions so that she wouldn''t actually cry.


    How long had it been since thest time she saw a smile like that on Landon''s face? It was a long, long time ago....


    He was a man who used to roam freely and proudly throughout Sna City. After such an arduous journey, this man had finally returned.


    "Everyone, I''m sure that I am no stranger to any of you."


    Landon looked at everyone in the room with a perfunctory smile. Then, he fixed his cold eyes on Harry. "Although my grandfather is no longer around, the Harper family has started to engage in legitimate businesses. As the saying goes, ''Every cloud has a silver lining."


    He looked down and fiddled with the tinum wedding ring on his ring finger. "To those of you who walk out from this ce today-Not only will The Ivory disown you, but you will also not be recognized by the Harper family.


    "The world can be a dark and cruel ce. I wish you all the best."


    These words were, without a doubt, words of threat!


    However, a threating from Landon was ten times more powerful than Alyssa''s.


    They knew that thete Cornelius used to be a powerful and mighty leader. Even Marc, who had once shot to fame, could not bepared to him.


    Subsequently, the Harper family entered into the business world. Eventually, Bill directed their family business toward the legal route.


    Even so, many people in the underworld still admired Cornelius. They might not have voiced their thoughts, but they relied on the Harper family because of their reputation.


    If they got on The Ivory''s bad side, they might still be able to catch a breather if they held out.


    If they got on Harper Group''s bad side, they would lose their Sna City position.


    Moreover, Preston died a mysterious death in the hospital even though he was under the close watch of the police. Word was going around that Landon was the one behind it.


    "I will count to three. If you return to your seats within three counts, The Ivory and myself will turn the page on today''s incident."


    Landon raised his brows. He curled the corners of his lips up. "Three..."


    With the first count, the rebels, besides Harry, dashed back to their seats. They sat back down casually. They acted like nothing had happened. It was an amusing scene to look at. "Out of everyone in The Ivory, you are the one who worked with my father for the longest time, Harry. You''ve even carried me when I was young."


    Colene watched Harry''s stiff and slightly trembling body from the back. She let out a long sigh. In a solemn voice, she said, "The Ivory does not belong to my fatheDalone. It is the fruit of everyone''sbor.


    "As long as you''re willing to turn back and never touch that drug again, my father and I will close an eye on all that happened today."


    After a few seconds of silence, Harry still ended up walking out of the conference room under everyone''s watchful eyes.


    Harry chose to leave The Ivory. But the other division heads had chosen to stay. The organization''s foundation was safe.


    As for the subordinates who were


    feeling unsettled, they had both Alyssa and Landon there to reassure them. Even if they intended to leave, they no longer dared to make rash decisions.


    Colene''s blouse


    was drenched in


    sweat by the time the meeting


    ended. She looked absolutely drained Damn it... I can say that understand Nathan now. He has


    really been having it difficult all these years."


    After saying that, a sharp pain pierced through her heart; her eyes were filled with tears.This material belongs to N?velDrama.Org.


    "Don''t worry, Colene. Jasper and I will think of a way to get Mr. Nathan out."
