Noble Pampering: Demon CEO's Relentless Entanglement-Chapter 787 - 783 Son Schemes Against Father (1)

Asher Land leisurely sliced the food on his plate. Although his left hand felt almost healed, it was still somewhat challenging to use.

Irene Morton, seeing this, obediently took his plate and, under his watchful gaze, carefully sliced the food before placing it back in front of him.

"Brother Asher, I’m truly aware of my mistakes now." Asher Land’s gaze was too piercing, as if he wanted to see through her. She truly couldn’t bear it.

"Aware of your mistakes?" He let out a cold snort, "Why don’t I sense that?"

Asher Land had some understanding of what kind of person Irene Morton was—her temperament was quite spoiled, doing whatever she liked. To have him trust her was really not easy.

"Brother Asher, it seems like your trust in me is zero." Irene Morton had a trace of self-mocking smile on her lips.

Indeed, her apology was only temporary. Asking her to let Sophie Smith go was impossible, unless one day the sun rises from the west and Asher Land is willing to be with her. Only then might she consider it.

It’s just that looking at the current situation, she felt she needed to step back a bit, otherwise Asher Land might kick her out at any moment.

Asher Land didn’t speak, elegantly eating the food on his plate.

"Alexander, take a look, do we need anything else?" Julia Brown noticed Alexander glancing behind her repeatedly. Just as she was about to turn around to look, Alexander softly stopped her.

"Aunt Julia, don’t turn around." What if that man discovers I’m secretly observing him later?

"Oh..." Julia didn’t ask further and complied.

Alexander reached for the menu, using it to shield his head, occasionally peeking out. When Asher Land looked up, he quickly pulled back in fright.

Julia was indeed very puzzled, and when Alexander wasn’t paying attention, she also turned to look.

"It’s President Land!" Julia exclaimed.

"Aunt Julia, keep your voice down, don’t let him discover us." Alexander quickly gestured for silence.

"Oh oh..." Julia nodded repeatedly, though she didn’t know what Alexander intended to do.

"Alexander, why are you monitoring President Land?" Julia cautiously leaned closer to Alexander and asked.

"President Land?" Alexander played with his small head, "Is that man called President Land?"

"Uncle?"

Julia frowned, thinking, what uncle, that’s your father, right?

However, Julia was also a keen woman. Since Alexander didn’t know Asher Land was his father, it meant Sophie Smith hadn’t told him the truth. Naturally, as an outsider, she decided not to meddle unnecessarily.

"Alexander, are you sure you don’t know President Land?" Julia cautiously probed.

"I do know him, of course I do. He stayed at my house for a night last time. Hmph, he even bullied my mommy. I remember him vividly."

"..."

"Oh right, Aunt Julia, quickly lend me your phone. I need to take a picture to tell mommy about him dating the pretty lady."

"..." Julia looked quite troubled.

Alexander, is it really good to scheme against your father like this?

"Hurry up, Aunt Julia, I need to take the picture now!" Alexander was getting impatient; what if they finish eating and leave? What should he do?

Julia, unable to resist Alexander’s pleading, took out her phone from her bag and discreetly handed it to him.

"Alexander, be careful, don’t let President Land find out..." Julia felt quite anxious.
