"You should be thankful, the Asher Land you see isn’t that dark." Oliver Johnson walked up to her, and Sophie Smith instinctively stepped back two paces.
Seeing her resistance, he felt a bit helpless.
"At least Asher Land wouldn’t do what you did, using the people closest to me to threaten me, nor would he do those things to my friends."
Those things, wasn’t it referring to what he did with Eva Miller?
He admitted that he had drunk a few too many cups that day, listening to Eva Miller talking about her affairs with Asher Land, which muddled his mind, and then he got involved with Eva Miller. During that time, there wasn’t a moment he didn’t regret, feeling like he wronged Eva Miller.
"I’ll handle Miss Miller’s situation."
"If it’s about money, then there’s no need. Eva doesn’t care about those things at all."
Can’t even solve it with money?
"Do you want me to marry her?" Oliver Johnson chuckled lightly, "That’s absolutely impossible."
Sophie had long anticipated this answer, but no matter what, she couldn’t accept it.
She walked out of his office, quickly disappearing from his sight.
If she wasn’t mistaken, her eyes just now were filled with disappointment and hatred towards him.
On Tuesday afternoon, the long-falling snow finally stopped, and the warm sunlight slowly melted the thick snow cover, dismantling the snow-covered world.
Sophie Smith sat in front of her computer, watching an old movie she once starred in, "City of Desire."
The movie encountered many twists and turns and was banned, but she went through great lengths to get back a film reel.
She didn’t know why she did it; she felt that the movie held too many memories. Letting it disappear like that left an unpleasant feeling in her heart.
Because of this movie, she intersected with Asher Land, sinking deeper and deeper.
Her thoughts seemed to return to the past, suddenly recalling many things, sometimes frowning, sometimes smiling.
She didn’t know how long she had been lost in her reverie until a ringtone broke her train of thought.
"Miss Smith, this is Robert Williams. Do you have time now? Could you come to the Golden Era Consortium?"
"Is there something wrong? Is Asher Land looking for me?"
Sophie only felt that Robert Williams’ tone seemed a bit off, but she had no idea why. Google seaʀᴄh 𝔫𝔬𝔳𝔢𝔩~𝔣𝔦𝔯𝔢~𝔫𝔢𝔱
"Robert, has something happened? Don’t keep it from me."
Robert Williams hesitated for a moment, still fearing the situation would escalate. That would be bad for both Asher Land and Sophie Smith, so he laid out everything.
"Miss Smith, your father just came to the Golden Era Consortium, saying he wanted to see President Land. President Land was in a meeting and didn’t agree, but later your father caused quite a scene at the company, even threatening that if President Land didn’t see him, he would die at the entrance of the Golden Era Consortium..."
"How could this happen?" Sophie panicked, standing up to grab her coat from the hanger and hurriedly walking out.
"Later, President Land took your father to his office, but we don’t know what will happen next. Only President Land and your father are there."
Robert Williams explained the situation to Sophie Smith in detail.
"Robert, I’m coming over right now; can you pass the phone to Asher Land for me? I want to speak with him." Sophie’s tone was very anxious. She really didn’t know what Asher Land would do to Christopher Smith if he got angry.
"Sorry, Miss Smith, without President Land’s instructions, we can’t enter his office."
