Irene covered her bleeding forehead and staggered to her feet from the ground.
Asher Land's threats to her had been made more than once or twice.
So, this time, she still chose to ignore them in her heart.
She curled her lips and let out a cold snort from her nose, with an air of disdain.
"Brother Asher, haven't I said it? As long as you choose to be with Sister Sophie, I won't..."
Before Irene could finish her sentence, her whole body was swung aside by a heavy slap from Asher Land.
She looked at him with some fear in her eyes. Today, today, he actually used violence against her twice?
In these four years, he had never been this serious with her. Even when she kept angering him, at most he'd curse her a couple of times or choke her while saying some threatening words. But today...
Her originally charming, delicately made-up face was now in a sorry state.
She stood there, clutching her small hands tightly, without saying a word for a while.
