Landon Lawson successfully took Old Mr. Jennings away, and during this ti, did not alert Donovan Shawcross’s side to anything unusual.
While on the road, he dialed Nolan Shaw’s number, telling them they could wrap up early.
Old Mr. Jennings looked at the man with so doubt and said, "It seems your current situation really isn’t looking good..."
"Donovan Shawcross is suppressing us everywhere now. All we can do is barely protect ourselves." A shadow flickered in Landon Lawson’s eyes; Miles Grant’s death is inseparable from Donovan Shawcross. If it weren’t for him, they might have still been getting along peacefully.
Axel Yates’ drastic change in character also wouldn’t have happened—all of this was caused by one man’s mistakes, affecting many people.
Old Mr. Jennings saw the hatred in Landon Lawson’s eyes and shook his head weakly, with more self-reproach in his voice: "It’s all my fault that things have co to this... If I had seen through his true character earlier, I wouldn’t have let it get to this point."
Landon Lawson gently shook his head: "This kind of thing isn’t sothing you alone could control... The way things are now, it’s entirely his fault! We have no reason to bla ourselves for others’ actions."
The man’s voice was unusually cold, causing Old Mr. Jennings to shudder slightly. He carefully scrutinized the man before him with a hint of admiration in his eyes: "You really are quite like your father. Back in the day, your father was the sa too—seemingly cold and heartless, but more committed and passionate than anyone."
When the elder brought up Landon Lawson’s father again, the man’s eyes flickered slightly, and he slowly spoke: "Do you know about my father’s matters...?"
"I know a little. Is there sothing you want to ask?"
The old man looked at him sowhat confused, only to see him hesitating before speaking after a long pause: "Actually, what I want to know is... did my father have anything to do with the death of Axel Yates’ parents?"
"Are you saying your father killed soone?"
Old Mr. Jennings was sowhat taken aback, then suddenly laughed heartily, which made Landon Lawson frown slightly, looking at him disconcertedly.
The laughter finally subsided, and the elder explained: "It seems you really don’t know your father very well. Do you think you would take a life for the sake of profit? If you wouldn’t, then your father wouldn’t either, because he, like you, disdains doing such dirty things."
The elder’s assertive words caused the man’s body to tremble slightly. Landon Lawson’s eyes were filled with deep self-reproach—that was his father, after all...
For an outsider to believe in his father unconditionally, why couldn’t he?
In that instant, the walls he had built in his heart finally opened up.
It seed he had been tornting himself all this ti.
Old Mr. Jennings saw the fleeting smile on the man’s lips and gently asked: "Why did you suddenly bring up your father causing harm?"
"Axel Yates has always claid that my father killed his parents, and to get revenge on , he tead up with Donovan Shawcross. If my father really wasn’t responsible... then he might have been used by Donovan Shawcross."
The man’s eyes gradually deepened, and every ti Donovan Shawcross was ntioned, there was a palpable resentnt in his heart.
If it weren’t for this man, how could he not be able to be with Sienna Quinn despite their love?
Old Mr. Jennings sighed softly, realizing it was his second son who had done even this...
Recalling sothing at this point, he suddenly asked: "Are you talking about Axel Yates from the Yates Group?"
"Yes, him! Why?" Landon Lawson asked with so doubt.
The latter spoke: "I have so impressions of what you’re talking about... but their deaths were an accident. That day, his father drank a lot at the banquet, and your father even advised him to stay the night at ho..."
Old Mr. Jennings ticulously recalled the events of that night, relaying all the details he knew to Landon Lawson.
Landon Lawson frowned, the fury in his eyes blazing. If what the old man said was true, then his father had been wrongfully accused... Yet Donovan Shawcross was the root cause of all this.
So it seed that Donovan Shawcross had already begun to infiltrate them back then, intent on sowing discord to create an opportunity for himself.
While everything was now clear, he had to let Axel Yates know about this.
Only then could he stop just in ti.
Although he didn’t have much interaction with Axel Yates, the man had always been gentle and kind.
Now being twisted and used by others... Landon Lawson no longer wished to see more people regret and bla themselves amid these open and covert struggles.
Miles Grant had already paid the price with his life for his actions, and what about Axel Yates? Must he tread down that sa irrevocable path?
Landon Lawson’s eyes contained a trace of heartache... Even for revenge, he couldn’t proceed with such disregard for justice.
Old Mr. Jennings, beside him, did not disturb the man’s thoughts anymore. Instead, he leaned back in his chair with his eyes closed, resting.
He truly was old... Even if he died now, it wouldn’t matter, but there were still a large number of young people in their pri. He couldn’t let Donovan Shawcross destroy them all...
Thinking of this, Old Mr. Jennings felt a dull pain in his heart. Wasn’t his eldest son also in his pri back then? Yet everything was ruined by Donovan Shawcross’s selfishness.
When Landon Lawson settled Old Mr. Jennings in a private hospital, Nolan Shaw and Caleb Shawcross finally arrived.
Caleb Shawcross, seeing the tearful eyes of Old Mr. Jennings, said, "Sir, there’s hope for us. We can definitely stop the second young master."
"Good, good, you’ve really had a hard ti these past days..."
There was a hint of tears in Old Mr. Jennings’ eyes as well. Caleb Shawcross hadn’t ntioned his recent deeds, but he knew that this young man had definitely had a hard ti... Having witnessed Donovan Shawcross’s thods firsthand. Once caught, he would eliminate everyone.
This man was so ruthless and would never leave any loose ends.
Nolan Shaw and Landon Lawson exchanged glances and left the room for the two who hadn’t seen each other in a long ti.
Outside, Nolan Shaw finally spoke to Landon Lawson: "About Vera Yates’ matter... how should we handle it?"
When Vera Yates was ntioned, the man’s brow furrowed slightly, and his eyes reflected an unusual coldness.
