He quickly redialed Enzo Land’s number.
"Third Young Master Land, what is it now?" Enzo Land chuckled softly, "Didn’t you see her? What more do you want?"
"You treat my woman like this, do you have a death wish?" Asher Land’s voice was chilling, "Take her to the car to shelter from the rain and untie her imdiately."
"Third Young Master Land, what if she escapes?" Enzo Land’s laugh grew more arrogant, "Then how would I have any leverage over you?"
"Enzo Land, what are you, using a woman against ?"
"Only this woman can bring you down." Enzo Land wasn’t bothered by the taunt, "I should be grateful that even you, Third Young Master Land, have a weak spot."
With this weak spot, Enzo Land saw at least a sliver of a chance to reclaim the Golden Era Consortium.
Enzo Land gazed at the woman who was barely clinging to life in the rain; this woman must have been the nesis of Asher Land in a past life.
The young man standing to the side noticed Sophie Smith looked like she couldn’t hold on much longer and whispered a few words into Enzo Land’s ear.
Enzo Land knew well that at this mont, nothing perilous could happen to Sophie Smith.
"I want a video call with Sophie Smith to ensure she’s absolutely safe," Asher Land demanded word by word.
This ti, Enzo Land said nothing more.
He answered the video call from Asher Land and pointed the cara at Sophie Smith.
"Untie her ropes and help her to the car!" Asher Land reiterated.
Enzo Land gestured to his n to follow Asher Land’s instructions; indeed, provoking Asher Land now was not advisable.
Soone began untying the ropes on Sophie Smith’s hands and legs; she felt sore and numb all over, stiff...
She had just heard Asher Land’s voice; so, is he coming again?
"Sophie Smith, say sothing!" On the phone screen, Asher Land’s face was anxious.
He had pushed the car to its maximum speed; the only thing he wanted to do, could do, was reach her side as quickly as possible, to help ease her suffering.
Sophie Smith used all her strength to get up from the ground with difficulty. She reached out her hand to untie the cloth over her eyes...
It was pitch dark around her, only a weak light from a flashlight and Enzo Land standing not far ahead, holding a phone that gave off a bit of light.
She looked up and saw the man on the phone screen, her lips curled into a slight, helpless smile.
Asher Land, I don’t want to be your burden every ti. I don’t want you to risk your life for my sake.
If possible, let also risk everything for you once.
The car accident four years ago seed vivid; at the critical mont, he had shielded her tightly, protecting her from impact, using his tall body as a shield...
She turned around when no one was prepared.
"Catch her!"
Sophie Smith ran faster and faster, but she knew within a few minutes, she would fall into their hands once again.
This was a severely steep, winding mountain road, both high and steep. Since few people passed by, it had not been developed, so on the roadside, there were no guardrails. Sophie Smith halted close to one side of the road, borrowing a little light from the flashlights behind her. She glanced side-eye, seeing a stretch of thorns down the mountain.
