CHAPTER 283: CHAPTER 279: SHE CAN NEVER ENTER HIS WORLD (5)

"Could you please not say things like that?" Asher Land softened his voice, approached her, and embraced her, "Don’t be angry."

Surprisingly, he actually cared about her feelings at this moment.

Sophie Smith just felt terribly embarrassed in the living room earlier, what right did she have to be angry?

"Let me go, I need to pack my things, Eva is still waiting for me outside your house, don’t worry, I’ll move out." She wouldn’t stay here to disturb their big loving family.

"Sophie!" He was somewhat upset; he didn’t want to kick her out. On the contrary, he actually hoped she’d stay and attend his birthday dinner.

Asher Land wanted to say something else, but suddenly the door to the master bedroom was opened, and a group of people stood at the entrance.

Nathan Land came in, followed by Luke Land and Amelia Williams, along with Irene Morton and her family.

Sophie felt a sudden dread, what was this gathering about?

"Asher, it’s one thing to flirt outside, but how can you blatantly bring a woman home?" Nathan Land’s gaze was sinister, and combined with the scar on his cheek, he looked truly intimidating.

"Yes, Asher, Irene has been living here all along, why are you bringing women home?" Amelia Williams also criticized Asher Land from the side.

Asher Land shot a sharp look in Amelia Williams’ direction, and she wisely shut her mouth.

"Go back to where you came from, the Land Family doesn’t welcome you." Nathan Land’s gaze fell on Sophie Smith, full of disdain.

Sophie instinctively wanted to break free from Asher Land’s grip, only to find she was held tightly.

"Asher Land..." she whispered his name softly, what was he doing?

Asher Land’s actions clearly defied Nathan Land. Luke Land glanced at Nathan Land’s expression, knowing this was a precursor to his imminent outburst. After thinking for a bit, Luke Land moved in front of Asher Land.

"Third brother, don’t act impulsively," he whispered into Asher Land’s ear.

Everyone present looked at each other in silence. Nathan Land’s pride was somewhat hurt, and in his fury, he struck Asher Land’s leg heavily with his cane, breaking the dragon-headed cane instantly.

Asher Land staggered but still did not let go of Sophie Smith’s hand.

Sophie was stunned for a long time, was Asher Land actually beaten?

"Kneel down!" Nathan Land shouted in anger, throwing the broken part of the cane onto the ground.

The room was eerily quiet as if everyone was too afraid to breathe.

Asher Land showed no emotion on his face. Somehow, Sophie Smith felt worried for him; just by looking at Nathan Land’s exterior, she knew he was a ruthless character.

"Asher Land, let go..." she said cautiously.

"Go get the whip, looks like it’s time for family discipline!" Nathan Land turned around and instructed Luke Land standing behind him.

"Father, this, this isn’t right..."

Asher Land’s birthday was in a few days; it wouldn’t be appropriate to injure him at this time.

"Stop talking nonsense!"

With no choice, Luke Land hesitated but turned around to go get Nathan Land’s whip.

Asher Land curled his lips into a self-mocking smile; he hadn’t expected that the whip was still kept close at hand, probably to ensure he tasted some hardship any time.

Sophie Smith was worried to death for Asher Land, but why was this man still able to smile?
