Sophie Smith nodded instinctively.
If Nathan Land were willing to spare Asher Land and Alexander, she would agree to anything.
She didn’t want to see Asher Land suffer any more pain.
"It’s like this, do you know that in five days, it’s Irene’s twenty-first birthday party?" Colton Morton asked her.
Today, Irene had ntioned this to Asher Land, and she nodded.
"Actually, this ti, Irene’s birthday party is also Asher and Irene’s engagent party."
Engagent party?
Sophie Smith’s expression and body stiffened simultaneously. Why had Asher Land never ntioned this to her? Was he really going to get engaged to Irene?
A wave of icy despair surged in her heart, and Colton Morton’s words instantly made her feel as if her heart had died.
She clenched her fists and stood there straight, without answering.
"Miss Smith, to be honest, Brother Land doesn’t ask much of Asher. As long as he’s obedient and does things as asked, do you understand what I an?"
Understand? How could she not understand?
"As long as you let Asher successfully get engaged, no, it should be married to Irene, as long as he achieves this step, Brother Land won’t trouble him or your son anymore. Brother Land, do you think this thod will work?" Colton Morton shifted the conversation to Nathan Land.
Nathan Land nodded, which was considered an agreent.
Sophie Smith found it extrely difficult to speak at the mont. She didn’t say anything, but Colton Morton continued.
"Irene loves Asher deeply. If she marries Asher, she will surely take good care of him. Also, she loves children very much. Your child with Asher, she will definitely treat as her own son."
"Think about it carefully. Irene and Asher are set to be married, but the process..." Colton Morton paused before continuing, "It’s just a matter of whether Asher will suffer more or less."
Sophie Smith wasn’t foolish; she naturally understood the aning behind Colton Morton’s words.
No one had been able to go against Nathan Land’s wishes until now, and if he was determined to have Irene marry Asher Land...
"Can... can you give a little ti to think?"
Sophie Smith bit her pale lips hard, struggling to speak.
"Of course, you can stay here until Asher and Irene get married." Colton Morton chuckled softly, "Irene is very magnanimous, even if you stay by Asher’s side, she won’t say much. Of course, she must be Asher’s final wife."
Sophie Smith remained silent for a while, then turned and left.
At the corner of the study, Irene watched Sophie Smith’s departing figure, a smug smile playing at the corner of her mouth.
See, she was indeed no match for her alone.
With Nathan Land and Colton Morton, Asher Land would eventually marry her.
Irene also intended to follow Sophie Smith’s steps and leave, but before she could move, she heard Nathan Land and Colton Morton’s conversation from the still partially open study door.
"Brother, you are truly kind." Nathan Land sneered, "Why say so much to her? If she refuses to leave Asher, then let her life end here."
"If you do this, Asher will hate you for a lifeti." Colton Morton shook his head, "I don’t want Asher to marry Irene with hatred."
"Ha, brother, to be honest, I’m not going to let that woman have a way out."
Although he had not taken any action against her now, that didn’t an he never would.
