Can’t Win Me Back by Ginger Sue
Chapter 1789

"Teddy bear... My teddy bear..."

In the suffocating darkness, Lauren had her back firmly against the ice-cold wall. She curled up intoa ball and was shivering all over.

Remy had taken her teddy bear away from her. It was like her soul had been broken and all herenergy was sucked away from her.

Her mind was blank. Cold sweat dripped down the side of her cheeks like raindrops.

"Landon... Where are you... Please save me..."

Suddenly, all the lights in the room lit up.

A beam of cold, white light shone on Lauren's face. The harsh light made her feel like she was beinginterrogated. Her mental state, which was already on the brink of falling apart, was being triggeredonce again.

"Landon... I'm scared... Landon...” Lauren shut her eyes. Even so, tears continued to flow from theslits of her eyes.

She couldn't recall anything.

Even every loving moment that she spent with Landon in the past was gradually drifting away fromher mind. The memories became distorted, and they drifted further and further away from her.

The enormous screen on the wall suddenly lit up.

Lauren forced her swollen eyes open. Tears filled her reddened eyes.

The screen showed a woman whose body was covered in wounds. She was bound and her eyeswere blindfolded with a black cloth.

When Lauren noticed that the woman was Angelina... It was like a bomb went off in her head.

She lost it completely.

In Harper Group's meeting room, the board meeting was held as planned.

Cornelius, the chairman, was seated in the middle of the conference table. He was like a commanderwho led a group of followers through the storm to build Harper Group. He was like royalty in thecorporation.

Although Cornelius had slowly transitioned responsibilities into Landon's hands, there were still afew senior employees who refused to submit to Landon’s leadership. They insisted on havingCornelius as their leader.

That wasn't the only reason. More than that, they were afraid that Landon, upon being promoted,would rewrite the rules. The thought of their power dwindling and interfering with their financialgains filled them with apprehension.

Being in support of Preston's promotion would only bring Harper Group to ruins. Despite knowingthat, not all of them had hopes for Harper Group to have a good future.

Some of them only hoped that their immediate gains could be maximized.

This also became the main reason why Preston had a chance to compete against Landon althoughhe wasn't as capable.

Cornelius remained calm. He cleared his throat and looked at the meeting attendees with animposing gaze. "I'm sure everyone here knows what it is that I'm about to announce in today'smeeting."

Landon furrowed his brows. An inexplicable feeling of uneasiness rose in his heart. The anxiousnesswas making it difficult for him to breathe.

Since the meeting commenced, he peered at his phone every couple of minutes. He wasn't sure whyhe was feeling anxious. Regardless, his heart just kept pounding and he was unable to calm himselfdown.

Everyone directed their gaze toward Landon.

Preston was sitting right across from him. With a piercing gaze, he glared at him grudgingly.

A few seconds later, however, he curled his lips into a cunning yet inconspicuous smile.

"I hereby announce that my grandson, Landon, will be stepping up as the new president of HarperGroup. With that, he will also become an official board member!" Cornelius loudly declared.

The seated attendees were about to applaud when Preston got to his feet slowly. He exclaimed, "Iobject!"

All of a sudden, the entire room fell silent.
