Chapter 523 - I Want Brother Asher (Part 2)
Chapter 523 of "Noble Pampering: Demon CEO's Relentless Entanglement" starts the action: "Heh, itās not easy for Sister Sophie to stay by your side, but do you... Find out what happens!
"Heh, itās not easy for Sister Sophie to stay by your side, but do you think itās easy for me? Brother Asher, I love you not less than Sister Sophie does!" Irene Mortonās eyes were a bit red, "Why are you so cold to me? Everyone thinks that you and I are the perfect match, do you know that? Now, I feel like a shameless woman throwing myself at you. Everyone at the Land familyās old residence sees me as a joke!"Although in front of her, all the servants would respectfully call her Miss Irene, but behind her back? Everyone was gossiping, saying she was just a woman abandoned by the Third Young Master Land and that as long as Sophie Smith was around, she could never dream of becoming the Young Madam of the Land family.
She had been the pampered princess of the Morton family since she was little, when had she ever been subjected to such gossip?
"Irene, thereās no possibility between us. Give it up." Asher Land made it clear. Even if the old man was pressuring him at every step, he would never compromise.
"Heh, no possibility?" Irene let out a cold laugh, "Youāve already lost a left arm for Sister Sophie, do you still want to continue fighting with Uncle Land?"
"Whatās one left arm? Iād be willing to die for her." He had a look of indifference.
"You!" Ireneās face turned pale, obviously angered by his words.
"Alright, then Iāll tell you the first secret I overheard in the study." Irene gathered her out-of-control emotions and spoke calmly, "At todayās birthday banquet, Uncle Land will announce the news of our engagement."
Engagement?
Seeing his obviously stiff expression, a surge of pleasure rose in her heart.
Announcing it in front of so many people, Asher Land couldnāt back out even if he wanted to. With Nathan Landās means and ways, he would never allow Asher to embarrass him by saying ānoā in front of so many people.
Asher suddenly thought of the way Sophie Smith smiled at him, realizing that she had known everything, yet she was still pretending that nothing was wrong in front of him.
"Brother Asher, do you want to hear the second secret?" She leaned closer, the smile on her lips growing more pronounced.
The second secret was that Sophie Smith would leave him, and Nathan Land would not let her go and would take her life.
"Tell me," he said word by word.
"Sorry, Brother Asher, my throat hurts a bit now, I donāt want to say it."
His fists were clenched tightly, being toyed by Irene like this truly infuriated him.
"Irene, donāt make me say it a second time!"
Heh, was he angry? She couldnāt believe he would call her Irene?
"Brother Asher, donāt yell at me. What if I forget what I was going to say when you yell?" She sat on the sofa, picked up a wine glass, and took a leisurely sip of red wine, "This is related to Sister Sophieās life, you know?"
Asher Land ran out of patience, snatching the wine glass from her hands and smashing it on the ground. With a slight exertion of his large hand, he pulled her body up.
"Must I use force?" His cold eyes stared at her, making Ireneās heart tremble, but this time, she didnāt plan to back down.
"Brother Asher, Iām not yielding to soft or hard tactics now, do as you wish!"
He threw her to the corner of the wall, his large hand grasping her fair neck, pinning her body against the cold wall.
"Do you believe I could strangle you right now?"
