CHAPTER 477: CHAPTER 473: PROLONGED HAPPINESS COMES AT A PRICE (6)

"Brother Land, don’t be quick to make a move on Asher, let’s talk this over calmly." Colton Morton stepped in to play the peacemaker.

Last time Asher Land returned to the European Headquarters, he had discussed with Nathan Land. Within two years, regardless of Asher’s progress in Asia, Nathan would call him back to the headquarters and have him marry Irene Morton. At that time, he thought that both Irene and the Morton Clan Group could afford to wait for two years, but now it seems like a joke.

"I’m giving you one last chance. Right now, speak clearly in front of your Uncle Morton and Irene!"

"Isn’t it already clear enough?" Even in front of Nathan Land, Asher Land did not show any weakness.

Sophie Smith cautiously tugged at his sleeve. He always spoke without considering the consequences.

Nathan Land was infuriated by Asher. He knew that no matter what methods he used to punish Asher, he wouldn’t bat an eye, huh, but let’s not forget, the woman and son he cares about are both in his hands, what does he have to fight back?

Yes, using a woman and a child to threaten him is somewhat underhanded, but as long as he can tame someone who has never placed his heart in the Land Family, he doesn’t mind doing so.

"Do you want your son?" Nathan Land didn’t lose his temper but instead started to speak calmly, "This is not an easy task."

Sophie felt an inexplicable panic. In this family-conference-like setting, not many people paid attention to her presence. All attention was focused on Asher Land. If Asher said he didn’t want her anymore, she would quickly be driven out. If Asher said he wanted her, Nathan Land would stop at nothing to deal with Asher. At this moment, as long as she remained silent, she could even be ignored, as no one would hear her opinion or care about her feelings.

"The child is innocent, please don’t do anything to harm him."

She, who had been silent, finally spoke up.

Everyone’s gaze started to focus in her direction.

"Innocent?" Nathan Land acted as if he had heard a joke. "From the moment you decided to give birth to this child, what he has suffered is not innocence, but his own fault."

Sophie’s lips turned paler. She knew what Nathan Land’s words meant.

Asher Land noticed the change in Sophie’s expression and saw the fear in her eyes.

"Aren’t you going to ask what I want you to do, to let your son go?"

Asher Land naturally knew Nathan’s terms, which was his unconditional submission.

"What? Actually, you don’t care much whether your son lives or dies, right?"

"Asher..." Sophie tugged at his sleeve, "Could you say something?"

Say something?

Did she not know that as soon as he spoke, Nathan Land would have him tightly constrained?

Seeing her pleading eyes, he couldn’t bear to disappoint her. Eventually, he reluctantly spoke up.

"What do you want me to do?"

Each word was uttered with such difficulty.

Seeing him compromise, everyone’s expressions suddenly relaxed a bit.

"Return to headquarters and marry Irene."

Sure enough, that was the outcome he had already anticipated.

Marry Irene?

Sophie lifted her eyes, looking at him in disbelief, but his gaze was slightly evasive, no longer meeting hers.
