Can’t Win Me Back by Ginger Sue -
Chapter 1589
"Mr. Landon, did anything happen to the company?" Frowning, Angelina prodded. She had noticedhis low mood when he stepped into the house. However, that did not mean Lauren wasn't attunedto Landon's feelings.
Angelina's keen observation stemmed from years of serving Landon. No one knew him better thanshe did.
Landon clutched two dice from the board game in his palm. "I met Zoe today. She is in the hospital.Mom and Grandpa are protecting her."
"You've met her?" Angelina's eyes wavered in shock. She whispered, "Did it go well?"
He smirked. "She dares not pull anything under my watch.”
"Still, better to be safe than sorry,” she replied worriedly. "Zoe must have worked with Preston to getback to Solana City. She's on bad terms with you, and she will definitely form an alliance withPreston to defeat you as revenge.”
"Well, she'd better hurry up. Don't keep me waiting.” He gritted his teeth, nearly crushing the dice. "Ihappen to be coming up with an excuse to get rid of that bitch. Since she's starting this, I'll give hertrouble.
"Since she works with Prepillon, I'll take them down at the same time!"
Angelina sank into deep thoughts. "I'm not worried about you because you're capable of runningthe company. I'm mostly worried about Madam Lauren.
"In the past, Zoe had given her a lot of trouble, even showing up at home to create a scene. Luckily,she was stopped in time. This time, she will not go easy on us. I'm afraid she might come for MadamLauren again.”
"Try me!" Eyes colored with rage, Landon was incensed just at the thought of it. "She is no longermy sister the moment she evilly exposed Lyse's medical records in public and nearly destroyed herrelationship with Jasper.
"She is free to be a menace, but if she lays a finger on Lauren, I'll kill her!"
They heard a clattering sound from the kitchen. They immediately knew what happened and rushedover to check on Lauren.
"Lauren!" Landon gasped as pain shot through his heart.
Looking pale, she knelt on the floor and shakingly picked up the shattered pieces of ceramic fromthe floor.
"Ouch!" In her panic, she cut her finger.
Blood began to ooze out. It was a terrifying scene.
His mind went blank. Kneeling on one knee, he held Lauren's wrist and chided her, "You should'vebeen more careful!”
"L-Landon, I'm sorry..." Lauren hung her head in guilt and stared at the ruined panda-shapeddesserts through her tears. "I'm so dumb. I couldn't even hold the plate well. I messed up..."
"The desserts are not a big deal. You should not hurt yourself no matter what!" Landon croaked.Then, he tenderly sucked on Lauren's finger. She felt moved as the warmth in his mouth envelopedher cold fingertips. However, she grappled with lingering feelings of anxiety and despair.
"Mr. Landon, please don't say that to her.” Angelina had grabbed the first-aid kit. She immediatelyspoke up for Lauren, "Madam and I went to the grocer early in the morning and bought theingredients for the panda-shaped desserts.
" She had spent the entire day baking them. They were made with love. Of course she's upset thatshe ruined them."
