The frown on Cyrus' forehead became deeper. At the same time, his gaze got colder and colder. Cyrus asked, "In other words, you're asking me to back out?" Landon's throat was dry. He was about to answer when Cyrus continued, "Since the time I found out that you were both in love, I positioned myself as a bystander. I was afraid that you'd overthink things, so I even tried to avoid causing trouble. As much as I liked Lauren, I didn't dare to meet with her. "The chance has always been in your hands, Landon. I don't care if you both parted ways because of yourself or because of your family. Why can't you just give me a chance?" Cyrus' question was extremely critical, and it hit Landon like a ton of bricks. He gaped in shock. "You're both not in a relationship anymore. It's completely fine with me as I am pursuing her in a normal way. If you still have feelings for her, you can go ahead and profess to her. We can fight for her fair and square. Feel free to do your best to win her

"In fact, I have long known that Landon inherited Bill's fine genes. He's fearless yet clear-headed. Moreover, he became good friends with Jasper, who is an outstanding elite in the business world. His future will only get brighter."I was the one who was too harsh in his upbringing. I always made use of Preston to put pressure on him. Not only that, I kept splitting hairs just to prevent his marriage with Ms. Lauren from happening. That was how everything spiraled out of control. "If I had known that it would come to this, I should have handed the power to Landon and retired long ago. He has always been my ideal successor! It's all my fault. As I aged, my suspicions grew, and so did my hesitation. The decisiveness that I had when I was young is nowhere in sight now…"Caspian consoled him immediately. "Please don't say that. Without your guidance all these years, how could Mr. Landon have lived such a smooth life? Your strict standards toward Mr. Landon were just your way of training

Preston kicked Cornelius to the ground. Then, he got down on one knee, lifted his foot, and stepped on Cornelius' bleeding wound. Cornelius howled in extreme pain. "I'm not afraid to be frank with you too. It's about Bill's aircraft accident. I was the one who planned it all." "Why, you… You…!" Cornelius widened his eyes in disbelief. He stared straight at Preston's sinister face. However, he was in so much pain that he couldn't bring himself to say a word. "That year, I hired someone to destroy the helicopter's main gearbox in advance. That caused the aircraft to plunge into the sea. I did have a chance to save Bill. But I chose to leave him to die. "Poor Bill… Even as he died, he wouldn't have thought that it was his own younger brother who caused his death! Did you know? He watched as I swam up to the surface of the sea. His gaze was even filled with relief. There was not a hint of hatred in his eyes at all."Such a perfect and good-hearted man should just be reunited with God.

Jameson rested the side of his head on his palm. In a lazy tone, he said, "I'm just excited to watch the exciting brotherly feud that's about to happen." "Mr. Schmidt, do you think… that Remy looks almost like Damien Taylor, that Taylor family member who died in a plane crash? Could they be the same person?" Carl was puzzled. "What if they're the same person? Or what if they're not the same person? It will just make my game even more fun." Jameson couldn't help but laugh. "To die in the hands of one's own 'older brother'... He could very well die without any regrets." "Cyrus always ruins our plans time and time again. He's also an officer. It would really make things easier once and for all if we can get rid of him in one hit." Carl hesitated but continued, "It's just that… you're sending Ms. Altman to go with him this time. Are you… still suspicious of her? Are you still wanting to test her?" Behind his gold-framed glasses, Jameson narrowed his dark eyes. …Ever since the Hodgs

Justin saved Jasper at the cost of destroying his almost perfectly healthy body. If he had done so just to put on a show in front of him, what was his purpose for doing so? …Meanwhile, at Crescent Bay, today marked the day Cyrus and Lauren had planned to visit the amusement park for some fun. Cyrus got ready and came over to Crescent Bay early so that he could pick Lauren up. Much to his surprise, Mandy insisted on coming along with him. She wanted to come and dote on her future daughter-in-law. It was rare for Mandy and Cyrus to visit Crescent Bay. Thus, Newton came out in person to welcome them. It was his way of showing them his respect. "Are you Cyrus? You are one fine-looking man!" Newton couldn't stop beaming when he saw Cyrus. He laughed, "Mrs. Taylor, your son looked exactly like Winston when he was young! I would've recognized him as Winston's son even if you didn't say a word!" "Jonah, Silas, and Lyse bear even more resemblance to Winston." Mandy smiled warmly. "My Da
