Can’t Win Me Back

Under Jasper’s orchestration in secret, the subordinate under the Harper Group took the initiative to turn himself in. He admitted to his crime on the spot and gave his testimony by providing all the details of his offense. All he said matched the situation perfectly.

There was sufficient evidence for the police to conclude the case. Although the student’s father still wanted to look into his son’s death further, his capabilities were limited, and he could only accept the outcome as it was.

At the same time, Preston was quick-witted. He had already gotten an understanding of the ins and outs of the incident.

The moment he found out that Lauren was the one who was taken hostage, he knew that this incident had to be connected to Landon.

The cruelty of the crime had Landon’s name written all over it!

“What? The background of the man who turned himself in was clean?” Preston’s eyes were as wide as saucers.

“That’s right. His background has been wiped clean. He does not have a single thing to do with Harper Group. Even the authorities weren’t able to find anything,” his secretary reported while dripping in sweat.

“Landon, that son of a bitch! He’s becoming more and more cunning!”

Preston took a deep inhale of his cigar. In the end, his breath wasn’t even, and he almost choked himself to death.

“This incident could also be set up by Mr. Beckett. Mr. Beckett is watertight in his execution. Plus, he and Landon are two peas in a pod. Wouldn’t he help him out?”

Damn it!

Preston slammed the table hard. “I was thinking of using this opportunity to cut this president off. This is now a missed opportunity!

“Don’t tell me that I can only watch as that son of a bitch climbs all over me? If so, what was the purpose of me destroying Bill in the first place?”

“Shh! Lower your voice!” His secretary had turned pale from terror.

Preston harrumphed. “What are you afraid of? It’s been so many years. He has died, and there’s no evidence.”
