Can’t Win Me Back

Preston gave Sylvia a sidelong glance. He looked annoyed. He felt that this was
a crucial moment. What she had just said was unnecessary.
Lauren was Sophia's daughter. At the same time, she was also Javier's daughter.
She was his precious daughter. There was no doubt about that.
He had thoughts about making use of Lauren for his own purposes. But he
certainly wasn’t going to allow Landon to marry her.
Should Landon choose to marry her, he would be formally establishing a marital
alliance with a prosperous family. Plus, Javier would end up becoming his father-
in-law.
Wasn't that simply allowing Landon to become even more powerful? What he
needed to do now was to decide between two options. One option was to use
Lauren to threaten Landon so that Landon wouldn't be able to become president.
Or he could take a step back and allow him to become the president. But he
certainly had to prevent the marriage with the Beckett family.
Landon’s words made the tension in the dining room rise. Cornelius raised his
eyebrows in surprise. Neither did he look at Landon nor say anything in
response.novelbin
Penelope couldn’t hold herself back. She chimed in, “Don’t you know the rules at
our family dinners, Landon? Only our own family members are allowed to attend
family dinners. It’s inappropriate for you to bring an outsider!”
“An outsider?”
Landon felt a ball of fury rise within him. His face turned frigid instantly. His eyes
narrowed dangerously. “No worries. Lauren will no longer be an outsider soon
enough. She will be my wife. She will become part of our Harper family.”
Penelope felt a lump in her throat. “Why are you bringing this up again, Landon?
Do you think this is the right time to talk about this?”
“I decided to come tonight because of this.” Landon then rose from his seat
slowly. He turned his body to face Cornelius. He had a fiery look in his eyes.
“Grandpa, I came here today because there was something I wanted to inform
you and everyone here about. I want to take Lauren as my wife. Please give us
your blessings.”
Upon saying that, Landon looked at Cornelius and behaved in a very respectful
manner. Cornelius stared at Landon with wide eyes. This scene was shocking
and unimaginable to everyone present.
Landon had been wayward since young. He was someone who loved to boast
and flaunt. He'd never behaved politely to others or acted so seriously before.
For the sake of marrying Lauren, he was willing to humble himself.
“Landon, I don’t think Ms. Lauren is good enough for you.”

Penelope nodded in agreement.
Preston and Sylvia continued eating
and drinking. But they both had
mocking smiles on their faces, albeit
covertly. As for Landon, he felt as if

“You are my grandson. Your status is much more noble than Jasper’s. You can
get any woman you like. Why must you marry a murderer's daughter? People will
laugh at you if news about this gets out!”
Cornelius looked frigid. He shook his head. “You're not compatible with her at all.
I cannot give you my blessings.”
“Grandpa! Sophia is the one who sinned. What does that have to do with her
daughter?”
