Landon clenched his jaw. ”l'm proud that you've grown into such a fine and considerate young woman. Alright, well tolerate the matter for now. Don't worry, even if we don't start a feud against Norton Corporation, I'll still make them pay for harming my daughter!”
He then phoned someone and said, “This is Landon. Have we started our business collaboration with Norton Corporation? No? Good. I want you to cancel the collaboration immediately because I'm no longer interested in doing business with them. Compensation for breach of contract? Just pay it, then! I want them to know what happens when they upset us Wards!”
What Landon canceled was a long-awaited business collaboration with Norton Corporation. Ward Group's sudden withdrawal was definitely going to cause Norton Corporation massive losses, but that was nothing compared to the severe damages that Ward Group would face.
However, Landon was so consumed with avenging his daughter that he forgot to consider the consequences of his actions.
A second passed when he finally realized how grave a mistake he had made. His thoughts scrambled for a way to reverse his actions, but it was far too late now.
Damn it. My blind rage has single-handedly shoved our family company into a deep grave. Unfortunately, this came as an afterthought.
Standing next to him, Gabriella was extremely touched by his father's decision to defend her honor. Her arms coiled around his neck as she placed a grateful kiss on his cheek.
“You're the best, Dad!” Gabriella sang in a honeyed voice.
“Anything for my daughter.” Landon's lips curled into an affectionate smile.
Unbeknownst to them, this incident would later become the catalyst for causing a major rift in their relationship.
Meanwhile, Joan had officially become Larry's fiancee now that she had accepted his marriage proposal.
She terminated her lease and moved into Larry's villa. This way, it was easier for them to share romantic and intimate moments in their own private little bubble.
Joan's eyes cracked open from sleep. She reached an arm over to Larry's spot but realized that he had already gotten out of bed.
She yawned and peeled her back off the bed, getting up to see what Larry was up to.
