Isabella Yates never expected Asher Land to show up. His expression looked as if he could swallow a person whole and flay them alive.
The once somewhat noisy café instantly fell silent due to Asher Land’s intervention.
Sophie Smith’s face turned pale, and she took a few steps back.
Asher Land turned his head, looking at Sophie Smith, whose eyes were somewhat evasive, and he tugged at the corner of his mouth.
"My woman, Asher Land’s woman, gets splashed with coffee? Aren’t you embarrassing me?" He let out a cold laugh, then shifted his gaze to the trembling Isabella Yates beside him, "And also, my woman—can you touch her?"
At this moment, Isabella Yates could not even utter a word. She did not expect that after all this time, Sophie Smith would still have Asher Land to back her up.
"I’m sorry, President Land, I acted impulsively." Although Isabella Yates didn’t want to bow her head, she had no other choice now because she saw the aura on Asher Land that seemed like he could send her to meet King Yen at any moment.
"Should we splash it back? Hmm?" His face was calm, with a slight smirk as he looked down to ask her.
"Huh?" Sophie Smith was at a loss for words. How could this man be so childish? How could she splash it back in front of so many people?
Isabella Yates clutched Edward Harrison’s sleeve, casting a pleading look at him.
Though Edward Harrison felt very uncomfortable seeing Sophie Smith being wronged, it was clear that Asher Land intended for Isabella Yates to suffer a bit, and Isabella Yates was his girlfriend. He couldn’t let Asher Land do that. This update ıs available on 𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹✦𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖✦𝓷𝓮𝓽
"Little Sophie, this time it was Isabella’s fault. Considering you were roommates before, can you forgive her this once?" Edward Harrison spoke gently, with a hint of pleading in his eyes.
He knew there was no chance of persuading Asher Land to let Isabella Yates off the hook, so he could only plead with Sophie Smith.
Sophie Smith’s heart felt a sudden jolt, as if something had hit it heavily. It made sense for Edward Harrison to plead for Isabella Yates, but why did she feel so uneasy? Perhaps she was a selfish woman; the kindness Edward Harrison once showed her was now directed towards another woman, and her heart just couldn’t let it go.
Asher Land was a bit annoyed; the look in that woman’s eyes was clearly not right. He remembered her once telling him personally that the man named Edward Harrison was the one she liked.
"Sophie Smith, watch your expression." He leaned close to her ear and said in a voice only the two of them could hear.
Her expression now clearly read, ’I’m still attached to my ex.’
Oh no, not even an ex; that man surely never touched her.
Sophie Smith was startled—was her expression really that off?
But since Asher Land had said so, he must have noticed some clues.
"With me backing you, you can splash as many cups of coffee as you like." He revealed a harmless smile.
Sophie Smith didn’t intend to continue fooling around with Asher Land. She walked closer to Edward Harrison and looked up at him.
"Edward Harrison, you’re overthinking it. Why would I do something to embarrass your girlfriend?" As she said this, her eyes fell on Isabella Yates, who had been keeping her head down, her arrogance dissipated, with obvious sarcasm at the corner of her mouth.
"But as a friend who grew up with you, I have one piece of advice: your girlfriend really needs a good lesson."
After saying this, she turned around, took Asher Land’s arm, and walked out of the café.
For some reason, her heart really hurt, really hurt. Although she knew she had no future with Edward Harrison, she truly wished for his happiness.
