Can’t Win Me Back by Ginger Sue

Landon raised his voice. The veins on his temples were popping. "Moreover,
Lauren wasn't even born when Sophia committed her crime. She is completely
innocent. You can't discriminate against her like that!"
"What was done by the previous generation cannot be held against the next, yet
they can significantly influence the subsequent generation,” Cornelius spoke in a
firm tone. He was not going to empathize any longer.
He continued, "What kind of a daughter would Sophia be capable of raising? Just
look at her eldest daughter. What was her name? Betty, was it? She took
advantage of her mother's position to oppress Zoe!
"Penelope hid this from me for a long time before she eventually decided to
disclose it. They are born to the same mother. How much better would her
younger daughter be?"
Penelope chimed in in agreement immediately, "You're absolutely right, Dad! You
took the words straight out of my mouth!"
"Grandpa! You have only ever met Lauren briefly. You've never even spoken to
her before. You've never tried to understand her before. How could you just pass
judgment on her like that?"
Landon gritted his teeth. His blood was boiling. He couldn't bear to listen to all
these. He couldn't even bear to hear a single word.
Lauren was now living in her own world, filled with happiness and warmth. It was
also the world that Landon had worked hard to build for her.
Unbeknownst to Lauren, an entirely different world existed on the other side.
Stepping outside would subject her to sharp words and gossip.
He wanted to shield her from all the hurt. He wanted the entire Harper family to
acknowledge her. It wasn't his wish to keep her hidden like a secret lover.
It was clear that taking this step was far more challenging than he had imagined.
"You are now in a different position, Landon. You are soon going to be the Harper
Group's president. You will be the face of our family. In the past, you used to
enjoy yourself out there. That was fine. But your actions now will have a direct
impact on the corporation.”
Preston leaped at this chance to strike while the iron was hot. He pretended to be
considerate of everyone.
"There are no outsiders here today. So, I'll be very honest. It wasn't a walk in the
park for your grandfather to build our family business.
"He has two scars of a few inches long on his back. Those were the scars from
his early days when he started out. You should be very familiar with the
beginnings of the Harper Group.
"All these years, Grandpa and your father have worked so hard to put the Harper
Group back on the right track. You should know this better than anyone else.
"Our corporation isn't very stable now, and our reputation has also taken a hit,
thanks to that woman from the Taylor family. What would people say about us if
you were to marry that murderer's daughter now?
"I know that you're both in love. But those who don't know would think that we are
under the Beckett family's control. They might assume that the Becketts have got
a hold on us. Wouldn't your grandfather's and father's efforts all go to waste
then?"
Penelope was reminded of her husband, Bill, who had died in the helicopter
accident. She couldn't restrain her emotions and started getting teary-eyed.
Preston's words resonated strongly with Cornelius. "You're right, Preston!
Landon, marriage is not a small matter. You can't simply act on impulse.
"I want you to have a clean break from Ms. Lauren as soon as possible. She is
far from qualified to marry into our family!"
"I'm capable of shouldering the responsibilities over the Harper Group. You don't
have to worry for me, Uncle Preston.”
Landon closed his eyes and took a deep breath. When he opened his eyes
again, his eyes were filled with unyielding determination.
He added, "Also, I have made up my mind. I will marry Lauren. She is the only
one that I will wed!"
"You!" Cornelius slammed his hand on the table. He glared at Landon, who had a
resolute expression on his face.
Landon was exactly like Bill when he was being stubborn.
"Grandpa, I didn't come here to hear you say these things."

Landon lowered his gaze. He sat
back down on his chair with his fists
clenched tightly under the table.

Cornelius’ and Preston's jaws dropped.
They couldn't believe that Landon was throwing away his future because of
Lauren. He even resorted to threatening the Harper Group.
"The Harper Group will have a promising future if you follow my wishes.
Otherwise, I can only tackle the problem using my own methods.”
