Noble Pampering: Demon CEO's Relentless Entanglement-Chapter 517 - 513: What He Wants Is His Submission (Part 7)
What kind of person is Asher Land? It’s not like he doesn’t know. Once he sets his mind on a woman, there’s no room for a second one in his heart.
Nathan Land knows that the woman named Sophie Smith has completely affected everything about him—his thoughts, his behavior...
Ha, how could Nathan Land tolerate his son being controlled by a woman?
"So, Brother Land, you mean..." Colton Morton tentatively asked.
"Just don’t worry about it for now, little brother. Rest assured, nothing and no one can stop Irene and Asher’s engagement."
Upon hearing Nathan Land’s words, Irene Morton felt a wave of relief, but what did he just say?
No escape route for Sophie Smith?
Hmm, it’s really terrifying to think about risking one’s life for a man; it’s truly not worth it.
...
Irene Morton returned to the East Garden a few steps behind Sophie Smith. As soon as she walked in, she saw Asher Land standing there, looking worried.
"Where did you just go?" he demanded.
There was something off about Sophie Smith’s complexion, but still, she forced a smile.
"Just out for a walk."
Here we go again!
She always uses this simple, crude excuse to brush him off.
Asher Land wanted to say something more, but out of the corner of his eye, he noticed Irene Morton walking in; he swallowed his words.
Seeing Irene, Sophie Smith remembered what Colton Morton had just said in the study...
Is Asher Land really going to get engaged to Irene Morton at her birthday party?
Irene noticed Sophie’s absent-mindedness and had a pretty good idea of the reason behind it.
She straightened up, lifted her chin slightly, and walked over to Sophie.
"Sister Sophie, you don’t look well. What’s wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"
Only in front of Asher Land would she call her ’Sister Sophie’ and feign concern to show him.
She had no intention of exposing her.
"Yes, I’m not feeling well. I want to go back to my room to rest. You two talk." She got up and said to Asher Land and Irene Morton.
Asher Land naturally followed her as she walked away.
"Brother Asher." Irene called out to him.
Asher Land turned back and acknowledged with an ’Hm.’
"I think I saw Sister Sophie coming out of Uncle Land’s study just now." Irene said casually.
What?
She went to see Nathan Land?
A bad feeling rose in his heart. 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖
"I accidentally passed by Uncle Land’s study—I think, I think I heard their conversation clearly."
"What did they say?" He walked up to her quickly, grabbing her wrist, asking somewhat anxiously.
Irene removed his hand from her wrist, smiled faintly, and said, "What they said, I’m not planning to tell Brother Asher now."
"What do you mean?"
"I mean, it’s a secret, and given the way Brother Asher is asking, I feel like I’m at a disadvantage if I reveal such an important secret to you."
Irene chuckled, stepped onto the staircase in her high heels, her body swaying, ignoring his puzzled gaze.
"Oh, by the way, Brother Asher, you could also ask Sister Sophie, but she might not tell you. Even if she does, it doesn’t matter, because I have another secret which Sophie doesn’t know, yet it is related to her, and indeed concerns her life."
For some reason, a thought flashed through Irene’s mind—maybe she could use some of what she heard tonight to achieve certain goals.
