Chapter 348 - 344: Bone-Deep Pain (Part 6)
His fingers suddenly tightened, forming a fist that cracked with the force.
"President Land..." Robert Williams wanted to say something to remind his boss, but clearly Asher Land was no longer willing to listen.
"President Land, you might not like what I’m about to say, but I have to say it anyway." Robert, for some reason, didn’t seem to care if Asher would get angry with him, "If there’s no mole in the company, then the Land Family definitely has one. Ordinary servants can’t get close to you, let alone steal secrets from your computer, but there’s one person..."
"Damn it, are you done talking? Get out!" Asher Land roared, tossing the file in his hand onto the ground.
Does he lack the ability to judge right from wrong? Does he need someone else to teach him?
Robert knew why Asher was so furious. He was insinuating at this critical moment that Sophie Smith was the one who betrayed Asher. Of course Asher would be enraged, but after following him for so long, Robert genuinely didn’t want his boss to be fooled by a woman. He felt that his analysis wasn’t without reason. Asher always worked in the study, the only place in the Land Family home equipped with surveillance. If he would just check the surveillance footage...
"President Land, why don’t you check the surveillance? You’d know at a glance whether this has anything to do with Miss Smith or not." Robert had laid it all out very clearly.
His tall body was actually trembling; he didn’t know what he was afraid of. By rights, with his understanding of Sophie, Robert’s words shouldn’t shake him...
But why did his heart feel so uncertain?
He sat in the leather chair and closed his eyes powerlessly.
...
It was already very late, yet he was still sitting numbly in the office. He was somewhat reluctant to go home today, but Nanny Garcia kept calling one after another to urge him.
"What’s going on?" he asked, a hint of impatience in his voice.
"Young Master, Miss Smith went out today, and she might have caught a cold..."
"Have you called the doctor?" He stood up, grabbed the black coat from the rack, and headed for the door.
"No, Miss Smith refuses to let the doctor see her no matter what..."
"I’ll be back right away."
He hung up the phone and drove directly to the Land Family home.
Sometimes, he had to admit, she really was disappointing; even a slight stir from her could make him restless.
...
Sophie Smith lay in bed tossing and turning. After going to the hospital today, she felt a bit unwell upon returning, not to mention the severe headache, her stomach also felt constantly nauseous, as if wanting to vomit.
Nanny Garcia suggested calling for a doctor, but she was naturally unwilling. If the doctor came, her pregnancy wouldn’t remain a secret. In this sensitive period, she absolutely couldn’t let Asher Land discover this fact.
Asher Land returned so quickly that she wasn’t mentally prepared at all. She had intended to act nonchalant before he got back, but in reality, when he arrived, she was clutching her stomach, throwing up frantically in the bathroom.
"What’s going on?" He helped her up, a trace of concern in his eyes.
"It’s nothing, I ate something bad." Her excuse was always so feeble and powerless.
"Wait a moment, I’ll have Nanny Garcia call for the doctor."
"No..." Sophie firmly grasped Asher Land’s wrist, her eyes carrying a pitiful look.
