Noble Pampering: Demon CEO's Relentless Entanglement-Chapter 782 - 778: Dare to Touch Her? (Part 1)
The media had nothing to say and eventually dispersed.
Luke Land gave Asher Land a commendable glance; now his third brother was conducting affairs with growing resolve.
Asher Land hadn’t been seated in the office for long when a figure burst in suddenly at the doorway.
Irene Morton stood before him, her displeasure evident on her face.
"Brother Asher, were you with Sister Sophie all night?" Irene’s tone seemed accusatory.
Asher Land rubbed his aching temples; he truly did not want to deal with Irene at this moment. However, based on the past four years, even if he did not want to engage, he would restrain his temper and hold back from lashing out at her.
Yet, Irene in the past year had become increasingly brazen, taking his tolerance as her freedom to act recklessly.
"Brother Asher, you can’t do this!" Irene’s voice was somewhat shrill, "For these four years, I’ve been the one by your side. You can’t just abandon me when things are going well and go after Sister Sophie!"
"Irene!" His voice was weary, "I’m very tired today. Don’t argue with me anymore, or I’m afraid I won’t be able to control my temper and might do something to you."
Do something to her?
Hit her, scold her, or kill her?
"Fine, I’d like to see what you would do to me, Brother Asher, you’re truly heartless, truly ruthless!" Irene spoke each word through gritted teeth.
"I’m glad you understand, so stop bothering me."
"Hmph, fine, since you’re so determined to be with Sister Sophie, don’t blame me. Unless you kill me, I’ll definitely make Sister Sophie suffer."
Deep love turned into obsession; she was unwilling to watch them live happily ever after while she suffered alone. If she had to endure such pain, she would certainly drag someone else down with her.
Asher Land’s cold eyes swept over her. He got up and moved like lightning to her, reaching out to grab her throat and pinned her against the wall.
"You dare try to harm her?"
Irene’s face turned pale, struggling to breathe.
She did not resist, only curled a feeble smile not of mockery at her lips.
"What, are you afraid? Aren’t you Asher Land, capable of anything, or can you not protect her?" She chuckled lightly, the disdain in her smile deepening, "I advise you to strangle me now, otherwise one day it will be Sister Sophie who dies."
"You think I don’t dare?" His fingers tightened around her throat.
"Brother Asher... you really are heartless..." Irene could barely speak, "I’ve never wronged you... are you sure you want to do this to me?"
She closed her eyes in despair, tears rolling down the corner of her eye.
Alright, if she must die, so be it, then she won’t be pained or troubled by failing to win him over anymore, wouldn’t she?
"Third brother, what are you doing?" Luke Land barged into the office, pushing Asher Land aside. Irene’s weakened body slumped to the floor, but Luke Land quickly caught her.
"Are you crazy?" Luke Land shouted at Asher Land.
How could he treat Irene like that? Although Irene had a sharp tongue and an arrogant attitude, she had never done anything wrong to Asher Land. On the contrary, during his most painful and hopeless four years, she had given him companionship and care. He couldn’t be so cold-blooded and heartless.
