Chapter 125 Mutual Suspicion (1)

Chapter 125: Chapter 125 Mutual Suspicion (1)Little Sophie took a solid slap from Charlotte Harrison.

"Are you crazy?" Christopher Smith stepped forward and forcefully pulled Charlotte Harrison away.

Little Sophie covered her reddened cheek, and she had to admit, Charlotte Harrison didn’t hold back.

Asher Land, who was a few steps behind her on the stairs, happened to witness this scene but couldn’t prevent Charlotte Harrison. He pulled away her hand covering her face and immediately saw the five clear fingerprints.

She saw the anger in his eyes. She gently tugged on his sleeve, signaling him not to act rashly.

"It’s you?" Christopher Smith’s face instantly turned livid upon seeing Asher Land. Charlotte Harrison’s arrogance dissipated immediately, and just a glance at Asher Land’s fierce gaze intimidated her.

Why did the expressions of this family become so peculiar when they saw him?

He remembered he had been here before, but it was certainly for the construction of the Golden Era Building. He wasn’t sure if anything else had happened in the meantime.

Back then, although many residents here moved away with relocation fees ten times higher than the market rate, some hadn’t. During that period, he visited many families like this.

"Little Sophie, what’s he doing here?" Christopher Smith’s tone turned suddenly cold.

Him?

The tone and wording of this person seemed quite unwelcoming to him being here.

"Dad." Little Sophie knew that bringing Asher Land home this time would definitely create an uproar. However, she had no choice.

"President Land, President Land is here to help us solve things. I don’t have the money right now to pay back what Aunt Harrison owes the casino, but..."

But Asher Land does.

"Come with me." Christopher Smith said to Little Sophie in a deep voice.

What exactly happened between this family and him? Asher Land frowned, unable to guess the cause and effect, which made him particularly frustrated.

In the room.

Christopher Smith had a dark expression, breathing heavily, seemingly unable to accept the fact that she was with Asher Land.

"How did you get together?" Christopher Smith questioned.

"Asher Land is the investor of the film I accepted a role in. We met while filming." She somewhat concealed her relationship with Asher Land, but the relationship itself was unspeakable. If Christopher Smith knew, he’d probably want to strangle her.

"Did you know that if it weren’t for his coercion, your mother might not have died? And now you’re involved with him, Little Sophie, I’m truly disappointed in you! What you did, your mother won’t rest in peace in heaven!"

She silently hung her head low, Christopher Smith’s words pierced her most vulnerable spot like a sharp sword.

"Yes, if it weren’t for his coercion, mother might not have died, but..." She paused, as if mustering great courage, "but that’s only a maybe."

"What did you say?" Clearly, Christopher Smith couldn’t believe those words came from Little Sophie.

"It’s only a maybe."

"You..." Christopher Smith raised his hand, and Little Sophie closed her eyes. But the anticipated slap didn’t land on her face.

"Little Sophie, oh Little Sophie, tell me, are you with him for the money? You can’t do this!"

Christopher Smith clutched his chest and sat down on the bed, looking utterly heartbroken.

Faced with Christopher Smith’s accusations, Little Sophie couldn’t utter a word. Her relationship with Asher Land couldn’t be explained in just a sentence or two.

As for how much her mother’s death had to do with Asher Land, she couldn’t be sure now.

Before, she thought it was a hundred percent, but now...

She could slowly consider it.
