If Asher Land knew she was involved in these things, he’d definitely strangle her.
"Irene, I usually think you’re quite smart. So why do you play dumb as soon as I ntion sothing important?" Enzo Land was sure that Irene Morton understood what he ant, but she was just pretending to be clueless.
"I really don’t know." She wasn’t familiar with Enzo Land, so she wouldn’t reveal her thoughts to him.
"Alright, since you really don’t know, I’ll be frank with you. What your father and I an is..." Enzo Land paused, leaned close to Irene’s ear, and whispered a few words.
Irene listened and her lips parted slightly in obvious surprise.
"Is my dad really going to do this?"
Enzo Land nodded.
Even though she really wanted Sophie Smith and her son to disappear from this world, when it ca to actually taking action, her heart was filled more with fear.
Irene hesitated, and Enzo Land seized the opportunity to keep egging her on.
Irene didn’t know why Enzo Land suddenly seed so interested in her affairs.
"Second Uncle Land, you must have another motive, right?" Irene felt she couldn’t trust Enzo Land.
"If that’s how you want to think, then there’s nothing I can do." Enzo Land shrugged, putting on a face of helplessness.
Trying to take down Asher Land by targeting him directly was indeed difficult, but if they targeted the woman and his son, there might be a glimr of hope. After all, the woman and his son were indeed very important to him.
Irene was now indecisive. She feared that if she really did this, and Asher Land found out, she could never be close to him again. But if she didn’t make a move, was she just supposed to watch Sophie Smith take Asher Land away?
Suddenly, Sophie Smith’s words from earlier that day replayed vividly in her mind.
She said, we’ve never shared a man because from the beginning to the end, that man never belonged to you.
No, she was not content, not content at all.
Her small hands clenched again, and she vowed she would not give up so easily.
All the beautiful years of her youth, she had given to Asher Land, but now, even though he was within reach, he seed as far away as the horizon.
...
A large shopping mall.
Isabella Yates had just taken the card from Edward Harrison, and now she was frantically shopping with her college roommate Amy at the counters.
"Isabella, how about this pair of high heels?" Amy picked up a pair of silver high heels inlaid with crystal and placed them in front of Isabella Yates.
"They’re beautiful." Isabella was quite impressed, but she sneaked a glance at the price tag—over fifty thousand RMB.
"Sigh, no matter how beautiful the shoes are, they don’t belong to . I have no money." Amy complained from the side.
Isabella hesitated a little. Should she take ho these shoes? Using Edward Harrison’s card seed justifiable since she was his girlfriend now, after all.
Without thinking much further, she took the high heels from Amy’s hand and headed to the counter to pay.
"Charge it." Isabella handed the card to the store clerk.
"Wait a minute." Just as the clerk was about to complete the transaction for Isabella, a magnetic, pleasant male voice stopped her.
Isabella and Amy turned their heads in unison and looked back.
Asher Land, dressed in a custom-made suit, stood tall behind them.
