A woman of ill-repute?
Sophie Smith raised her gaze, looking at Asher Land, whose eyes showed a hint of panic, captured by her vision.
Indeed, in the prestigious Land Family, she was considered a woman of ill-repute.
She stood frozen, not knowing what to do.
"Oh, Brother Land, Luke is young, liking women isn’t a mistake. Don’t be too harsh on him." The speaker was Irene Morton’s father, Colton Morton, president of Morton Clan Group.
"Among the three brothers of the Land Family, only he doesn’t focus on proper business and spends all day playing around with women. What’s he turning into!" Nathan Land’s eyes flickered with violence, as if those eyes could tear a person apart. This scared Sophie Smith, making her legs tremble.
Fortunately, Luke Land’s large hand held her, preventing her from falling.
"Let go!" Asher Land, standing nearby, couldn’t bear it any longer. He pushed Luke Land aside, pulling Sophie Smith to his side.
The expressions of the people in the living room were all in astonishment, wondering what drama was unfolding now.
"Asher, what are you doing?" Nathan Land’s tone was somewhat displeased.
"Nothing much. Sorry, second brother, this woman isn’t prepared for you." He snorted coldly, ignoring the surrounding gazes, and directly took Sophie Smith upstairs.
Nathan Land’s face turned pale, and a surge of anger welled up in his heart.
"Uncle Land, don’t be angry." Irene Morton came out, smilingly approaching Nathan Land, "I’ve been living here for some time now. Brother Asher often brings other women home, so maybe this is the one he brought home today."
Actually, everyone present knew that the Land Family and the Morton Family intended to form a union, specifically between Asher Land and Irene Morton. Now, with Asher casually bringing another woman home, as the future daughter-in-law of the Land Family, Irene didn’t fight for jealousy but appeared somewhat strange.
"Irene, why don’t you speak up to Asher since you’ve been living here so long? Are you just going to watch him bring woman after woman home?" Amelia Williams, Nathan Land’s wife, walked over, taking Irene’s hand, showing a trace of pity on her face. "Irene, you really are too considerate."
"Madam Williams, please don’t say that. Brother Asher is a normal man, isn’t he? He has needs, I..." Irene suddenly showed some grievances, "Perhaps Brother Asher doesn’t like me."
Irene’s words suddenly embarrassed the Mortons, standing there with Colton Morton’s face not looking good.
Actually, Irene didn’t mean to disgrace the Mortons; she just knew Asher Land’s feelings for Sophie Smith were deeper than she imagined. She couldn’t reclaim Asher Land from Sophie Smith on her own; she could only rely on the Land Family, knowing very well what kind of person Nathan Land was.
"Irene, rest assured, your Uncle Land will stand up for you." Sure enough, as soon as she spoke, she received a response from Amelia Williams.
Irene cautiously glanced at Nathan Land, only to see Nathan Land frown, his grip on the cane tightening.
"I will properly warn Asher about this, so don’t worry too much."
Rarely, she heard a promise from Nathan Land.
Sophie Smith was dragged back to a room by Asher Land, struggling hard to free herself from his grip.
"Aren’t you afraid of being laughed at by your family for behaving this way?" She sneered, "Sorry, I really didn’t know your honorable family would be here today." Thɪs chapter is updatᴇd by novelꞁire.net
