Noble Pampering: Demon CEO's Relentless Entanglement-Chapter 829 - 825: No Surprise at All
"So, what did you do this time to provoke that girl, Irene Morton?" Luke Land looked at Asher Land in confusion, his face full of helplessness. "Yesterday she went home and smashed everything she could find. All the servants, including me, got a good scolding."
"Hey, say something!"
Luke Land, who had been rambling and complaining without getting any response from Asher Land, was finally a bit annoyed. There was no need to say it; Irene’s behavior was definitely related to Asher Land.
"Even if you’re a pitiful sight, what does it have to do with me?"
"..."
As soon as Asher Land spoke, Luke Land was so frustrated he almost vomited blood.
"I mean, can’t you have a bit of compassion? It’s you who provoked that girl, Irene Morton. She doesn’t dare act out in front of you, so we’re the ones suffering. And now, instead of comforting me, you’re making such sarcastic comments!" Luke Land wore an expression of utter despair, yet Asher Land remained calm and collected.
"Since you find it so unbearable, next time when she throws a tantrum at you, just tell her to come find me," Asher Land "suggested."
"Oh, come on! That girl can change her face in the blink of an eye. She might act like she’s going to tear the sky down in front of us, but when she’s in front of you, she pouts and flutters her eyes, calling you ’Brother Asher’ at every turn. It’s just unbearable."
Luke Land went on in a sarcastic tone, but Asher Land was already showing signs of impatience.
"Alright, if you purely came to complain to me today, then let’s stop here," Asher Land said as he opened his computer and entered his password, not even sparing a glance at Luke Land.
Knowing Asher Land’s temper, Luke Land indeed stopped the topic right away.
"By the way, there’s been some progress with the incident at the last press conference..." Luke Land finally remembered he had something serious to discuss with Asher Land.
"Oh?"
Asher Land slowly lifted his eyelids, his gaze icy.
"Go ahead, tell me, who exactly orchestrated it?"
Although he was almost certain in his heart, Asher Land still wanted to hear it from Luke Land’s mouth.
"Last week, our people successfully tracked down the instigator of the chaos at the press conference. He’s now been brought back to Eastern City. At first, he refused to confess, but..." Luke Land’s lips curled into a cold smile, "but after using some special methods, through intense interrogation, he finally revealed the person’s name."
"Who?"
"Enzo Land."
Ha, as expected, no surprise there at all.
"And regarding the person who attempted to assassinate me last time, is he connected?" Asher Land casually twirled the pen in his hand, but his gaze grew increasingly fierce.
"This couldn’t be confirmed from him. I guess Enzo Land uses different people for each plan against us."
There was a lengthy silence. Suddenly, Asher Land tossed the pen onto the desk, stood up, and walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, overlooking the bustling scene eighteen floors below.
He stood there silently for a long time as if contemplating something.
Luke Land stood behind him, not daring to disturb.
Seemingly after a long while, he suddenly turned around.
"Help me investigate something from four years ago." His face was gloomy, his sinister gaze seemed as if he could swallow a person whole. Even though Luke Land was a grown man, he was frightened and stepped back a few steps when Asher Land’s gaze swept over him.
"What... what is it?" Luke Land stammered, asking.
