Can’t Win Me Back by Ginger Sue

Zoe's forehead was dotted with sweat. She clutched tightly onto the bedsheet.
She had always taken Landon as a man of courage but lacking in wits. No matter
what she had done, all it took was some sweet talking and begging to make him
turn a blind eye to her mistakes.
Now, it seemed that she had been gravely mistaken all the while. Landon had
wittily exposed her and Preston. The reason he had fallen for her lies in the past
was due to his unconditional trust in her.
They were no longer siblings at this point; just enemies, and Landon was a
formidable one at that. No wonder the sly Preston had battled Landon for years
to no avail!
Preston remained glowering at Landon, who had no patience for him. Landon
shoved past Preston and stood in front of Zoe. "Zoe Harper, my advice for you is
to lay low and don't try anything funny."
Landon’s murderous squint gave Zoe goosebumps. He added, "If you harass
Lyse, Jasper, and Lauren again, not even Grandpa could protect you from the
consequences. I, will, hurt, you."
His words were laced with resentment and threat.
Eyes wavering, Zoe looked into Landon's impassive eyes as she dealt with the
anger, discontentment, and disappointment.
Landon once called her name with a doting smile. He loved holding her hand and
was so proud of having a talented sister. All that seemed distant now.
Zoe had always assumed that Landon belonged to her and only her. How did he
end up pouring all his care and affection onto Lauren?
Her heartache turned into resentment when she recalled how Landon had hurt
her because of Lauren.
In Landon's eyes, she could not even compare to Alyssa, who was divorced and
infertile.
She seethed in silence. "Landon Harper, do not blame me for what unfolds.
Things happen all because you sided with outsiders over your family. You
deserved this!"
Penelope was anxious and hurt upon seeing her son threatening her daughter.
Their once-happy family was now filled with hatred. However, she did not know
how best to mediate or discipline them.
Before leaving, Landon suddenly remarked with passion and hope in his eyes,
"Mom, Lauren, and I will get engaged when I'm officially appointed the company
president.
"According to Solana City's marriage custom, you should pick one item from the
dowry given to you by Grandpa. As Lauren's future mother-in-law, you will hand
the item to her in person.”
Penelope bit her lips and sank into silence. She was obviously reluctant to do so.
"I know you might not want to part with your dowry, and that's fine. I totally
understand. That's why I'm only here to bring up this matter.” Landon flashed
Penelope a careless smile and glanced at his assistant. The said assistant
immediately draped the jacket over his shoulders.
Landon added, "If you refuse to give Lauren an item from your dowry, I'll make
that decision on your behalf.
"Since I am the custodian of a few pieces of collector items before Dad's passing,
I'll pick the best piece of jewelry for Lauren and tell her it's from you. I believe you
won't have an issue with this. It's all for the Harper Group's reputation. Right?"
Penelope seethed in anger upon hearing Landon's words. The air in the VIP
ward was heavy and tense after Landon's departure.
"Mom, just look at Landon! Since when has he become such a scary man?" Zoe
shed crocodile tears. "Is he choosing that woman over us and the Harper
family?"
Feeling powerless, Penelope sighed. "Zoe, let it be. You know Landon's
character well. What good will it do to go up against him?"

Zoe was frustrated at Penelope's cowardice. How could she surrender before
putting up a fight?
Soon, Penelope left the ward to pick up Zoe's health checkup report. When the
door closed, only Preston and Zoe remained in the room.
Zoe immediately turned menacing, a stark difference from her innocent and
feeble persona from earlier.
