Can Not Win Me Back Chapter 1792-Preston coughed. “I… I’m fine!” The handkerchief that he was using to cover his nose had become bloody. It was obvious how ruthless Landon had been.
The meeting resumed, albeit in an awkward situation.
Just then, Cornelius picked up the documents on the table and started flipping through them casually.
Under Landon’s imperiousness, Cornelius was the only one who dared to make a move.
“Is this a genuine report, Preston?” Cornelius asked with a look of disbelief on his face.
Preston roared, his voice thick with indignation, “If it’s not real, then I’ll grovel at Landon’s feet myself! It has the accredited testing organization’s stamp, for crying out loud! Get it verified if you don’t believe me!”
Landon’s scowl deepened into a thundercloud. His eyes flicked to Cornelius, skepticism etched on his face. Cornelius, in Landon’s experience, wouldn’t be this placid if he had just learned about this.
Furthermore, this psychological analysis report was regarded as classified information within the Beckett family. It was inaccessible to outsiders; only Beckett family members could access it.
Javier and Sophia were Lauren’s parents. They should be the only ones who had this report.
Now that Sophia was dead, Javier wouldn’t resort to using Lauren’s secret to prevent their marriage despite how opposed he was.
Even if Javier didn’t love Lauren, he was someone who couldn’t stand being embarrassed. Thus, he would certainly never do such a thing.
So, how in the world did Preston get this report?
“The Becketts will surely take strict precautions against something like this getting out. There’s probably something suspicious about the origins of this report, isn’t there?”
With a calm expression on his face, Cornelius tossed the document onto the table. “Could you have been tricked into taking this fake document out? You would be at a loss if this ends up being a joke.”
Preston flung his handkerchief onto the floor. He gritted his teeth and glared cunningly. “I have evidence to prove that Beckett lady is a crazy woman!”
Upon saying that, the big screen suddenly lit up.
Everyone’s attention was directed to the screen.
Landon turned to look at the screen coldly. In an instant, he felt like the blood in his veins stopped flowing. It was as if his racing heart was being squeezed by a cruel pair of hands. His flesh was pained.
On the screen, Lauren could be seen bawling and screaming uncontrollably.
There was no one else in the room with her.
Her piercing screams echoed throughout the meeting room.
Everyone scrunched up their faces. They frowned as they watched the bizarreness of her going crazy.
“Lauren… Lauren!” Landon screamed her name. His eyes had turned red.
Despite his heartfelt cries, the thin screen kept this pair of lovers separated in two different worlds.
“What did I tell you, Mr. Cornelius? I didn’t slander this woman at all, did I? She is a psycho indeed!”
Preston pointed at the screen as his eyes twinkled with excitement that his scheme had succeeded. “No one triggered or provoked her. Look at her screaming her head off. Is that what a normal person would do? What else could it be other than the fact that she’s sick?
“If a woman like this became the president’s wife in the future, how is our family even able to hold our heads up high?”
Everyone shook their heads.
Whatever it was, the woman in the video who had lost control did not look like a normal person.
“That’s enough. Turn it off. It’s too noisy.” Cornelius furrowed his brows and a look of disdain flashed across his eyes.
“Captive? That’s too strong a word, I’m afraid.”
Preston clicked his tongue. “Having a mental state like this is really worrying.”
Landon burned with anger from within. He disregarded the looks from everyone else, got to his feet, and dashed to the door.
“Landon! The meeting isn’t over yet. Get back here!” Cornelius shouted at him from behind.
Landon stopped in his tracks. He glared piercingly at Preston.
Preston’s smile froze on his face.
That glance made him feel like he had fallen into the abyss.
