Irene Morton drove the car incredibly fast, with only one thought in her mind.
And that was to see Sophie Smith dead!
She’s always been an extremist, spending so much effort on Asher Land, only to end up in this situation.
They were teaming up to bully her!
Singing in harmony, treating her as a shaless intruder. Yes, she admitted, she had been persistently pursuing Asher Land, but she didn’t think she was wrong. She was simply genuinely in love with soone, and no one has the right to take away soone’s right to love.
Irene returned ho, where she and Asher had once lived for a while, but now he had moved out without any sentintality.
To so extent, she felt a bit empty inside.
Her lifelong dream was nothing more than the ordinary kind—having a ho with Asher Land, having a child for him. She would try hard to learn cooking, supporting her husband and teaching the kids, being a good wife and loving mother...
Haha, thinking about it now, it’s so ridiculous.
The door to the hall opened, and Irene glanced inside, seeing two n in dark suits talking by the sofa. One was Colton Morton, and the other, upon a closer look...
Enzo Land?
How did he arrive in Eastern City so quietly?
Wasn’t he supposed to be handling matters at the headquarters?
Irene hesitated a little, and Colton Morton’s peripheral vision caught the hall entrance. Seeing her return ho, his face imdiately lit up with a smile.
"Irene, weren’t you going to et Asher? Why did you co back so early?"
Irene remained silent; it felt like he just touched a sore spot.
Enzo Land also turned his gaze over, and seeing him, Irene politely greeted him.
"Hello, Second Uncle Land."
"Oh, Irene, long ti no see."
Enzo Land’s words were courteous and friendly, but inwardly, he was extrely angry.
He hadn’t expected this girl Irene to have such guts. Four years ago, he ticulously orchestrated an accident to take Asher Land’s life, but then Irene took Asher to the United States and hid their identities and whereabouts. After much investigation, he found them and planned an assassination. He thought Asher would surely die, but Irene recklessly took a bullet for him, repeatedly causing him to miss his chances. Now that Asher has returned to Asia, intending to rise again, Enzo feared that the little power he’d arduously reclaid over the past four years would be taken away again. He absolutely couldn’t let Asher Land continue to thrive.
Irene didn’t have a good impression of Enzo Land. After the greeting, she excused herself due to not feeling well and went to rest in her room.
"When exactly will the marriage between Irene and Third Young Master Land happen?" Enzo Land deliberately asked. He knew Asher Land didn’t like Irene; by asking this, he’d only make Colton feel for his precious daughter and prejudice against Asher.
Sure enough, Colton Morton snorted, sowhat displeased as he sat back down on the sofa.
"Irene is wholeheartedly devoted to Asher. For four years, she’s done everything to take care of him and help him recover, but all he gives in return is indifference!"
Colton Morton was very angry.
"Third Young Master Land is young and promising. It’s understandable that Irene would fall for him. But now, his mind is totally not on Irene. No matter what Irene does, he’ll pretend not to see it."
Enzo Land continued to fan the flas, fueling the anger in Colton Morton’s heart.
