When Sophia saw him, her eyes lit up like she had discovered a diamond mine. After all, he was her future son-in-law.
If Landon became her son-in-law, she would be over the moon. Those socialites who had previously ignored and looked down on her would have to flatter her.
The bodyguards greeted in unison, “Mr. Landon!”
“Landon, why did you come over?” Cornelius’ face darkened.
“I came to find Jeremy, of course.”
Landon coldly swept his gaze over the Harpers, and the bodyguards were so scared they lowered their heads. “Luckily, I came. If I hadn’t, I would have missed this good show.”
In fact, he had received the news from his girlfriend, Lauren.
Initially, he was outside discussing a project. Lauren was alone in the villa, watching a show with Angelina.
Midway through, she received a call from Nina, saying that Jeremy was in trouble. The Harpers had come to pressure him into marriage, causing quite a commotion.
Worried, Lauren contacted Landon to come and help resolve the situation.
Since Lauren made a request, Landon had to fulfill it, especially when the person involved was his best friend. He abandoned his business discussions and raced over immediately.
“Okay, okay. Hurry up and bring your best friend down.” Cornelius was furious.
If Cornelius weren’t someone with a bit of stature, an ordinary old man would probably have exploded in a string of expletives.
Nevertheless, he couldn’t endure it any longer.
“Mr. Javier, is this how you’re going to handle this matter? Your son has almost ruined Zoe, but he’s still pestering his ex-wife right in front of us. Do you believe you can toy with my family?”
Cornelius angrily picked up a teacup from the coffee table and hurled it to the ground.
The Harpers’ bodyguards rushed forward as if the cup smashing was a signal.
This frightened Sophia so much that the color was drained from her face. Instantly, she hid behind Javier.
The Harper family rose from the underworld, and everyone in Solana City knew about it.
With the bodyguards, they looked like they were about to clash with the Walsh family.
“Mr. Cornelius, what are you doing?” Javier’s eyes burned with intensity. “Our family isn’t one to be trifled with either!”
“Hmph, rest assured, this is a society governed by law. I’m tired of the days when people kill at every turn.”
Cornelius’s eyes slowly darkened as he continued, “I just want to tell you that I’m very angry at what
Jeremy did tonight. When my anger flares, who knows what consequences it might bring?”
Upon hearing that, Javier clenched his fists, barely able to control his anger.
Wasn’t that a blatant threat?
Zoe was manipulated? Could there be hidden motives in the incident?
“Mr. Landon, is that true?” Rosie couldn’t hold back, slapping her thigh indignantly. “I knew it! Mr. Jeremy is very innocent. I’ve watched him grow up. I don’t believe he’s the kind of man who loses his mind when he sees a woman and is unable to control his lower half.
“If he really were like that, would Madam love Mr. Jeremy so much? There must be something fishy here.”
Penelope’s eyes turned red. “What do you mean? Are you saying my daughter is promiscuous, and she set a trap for Jeremy?”
“I didn’t say that. You said it yourself.” Rosie rolled her eyes and stuck out her tongue.
Rosie had never married or had children of her own. Her only Achilles’ heel was Jeremy. She wasn’t afraid of these wealthy and influential people.
“You… You old woman!”
Penelope covered her aching chest, glaring at Sophia. “Madam Sophia, are your servants all so rude?
They speak to guests like this, and you don’t even interfere?”
“Oh, Mrs. Harper, you saw it just now. Mrs. Rosie regards Jeremy even higher than us. How could we dare to interfere?” Sophia put on a helpless look, enjoying herself as Penelope suffered.
“Landon, you have no evidence. How can you slander me?” Zoe stammered, looking like she was about to cry but was actually furious.
“Who said I have no evidence?”
Landon narrowed his eyes slightly. “I didn’t want to release what I found today because it would really be ugly. But since you’ve dragged Grandpa into this, I can’t stand it anymore.”
Instantly, Zoe’s heart suddenly tightened.
Everyone else also perked up their ears.
“I checked your phone records from that day and the surrounding days. I even checked your phone records for this month. If you were really secretly dating Jeremy, how is it possible that you didn’t make a single call to each other?
“Even on the so-called secret meeting day, you didn’t even call him. Is your relationship so platonic? Did you maintain a relationship through thoughts alone?”
Sitting on the sofa with his legs crossed, Landon looked at Zoe with eyes that sent shivers down her spine.
His statement shocked everyone present.
Alyssa didn’t expect Jeremy to carry her to the room where she had lived alone for three years.
Jeremy’s original intention was to carefully place her on the bed. However, her restlessness in his arms.
led to a loosened grip, and she ended up descending heavily onto the bed.
Luckily, Alyssa had not undergone plastic surgery. Otherwise, her nose might have suffered.
“You didn’t stay still. I didn’t mean to drop you.” Jeremy looked down at her. Seeing her awkward state, he couldn’t help but find it amusing.
“You bastard. You always find various excuses for yourself!” Alyssa muttered indignantly.
She attempted to sit up on the bed. But the moment she did, Jeremy seized her ankle, and he promptly pressed her back down.
“Let go of my foot! Are you a pervert?” Alyssa quickly curled her legs. Almost revealing too much, she felt extremely embarrassed.
Alyssa had a grasp of self-defense techniques, but from Jeremy’s perspective, they seemed no more significant than her routine stretching exercises.
Just then, Jeremy’s grip on her ankle tightened a little. His calm gaze wandered from her blushing face to her rosy lips, slender neck, and alluring collarbone.
His breath hitched involuntarily. He could feel his blood warming as his heart pounded loudly.
Suddenly, a needle-like pain pierced his head. He closed his eyes, pressing his temples with both hands to alleviate the sudden discomfort.
“Jeremy, it hurts. It hurts so much.”
“Be good. You won’t feel the pain later.”
“I’ll try to be gentle with you, I promise.”
Images Jeremy had never seen before flashed through his mind, accompanied by amorous gasps and moans.
It seemed like he had shared an intimate moment with a woman in this room.
But how was that possible? He had never slept with any woman.
Noticing Jeremy momentarily distracted, Alyssa kicked him in the abdomen.
“Get off me!”
She didn’t use much force. Given Jeremy’s muscular frame of six feet two inches, he should be able to withstand that kick.
However, to her surprise, he staggered two steps back. He would have fallen if he hadn’t steadied himself against the wall.
Alyssa’s pupils contracted, and she could see that Jeremy had turned pale, with beads of sweat forming on his forehead.
She hesitated for a moment. Just as she was about to say something, Jeremy asked hoarsely, “Why are you here for Sophia?”
