Chapter 1094 - 1090: How Can I Still Face Living
For her, Asher Land’s words were often commands.This time, Sophie Smith chose to listen to him again.
After hanging up the phone, Asher Land called Robert Williams, instructing him to send more people to the place Sophie mentioned. Robert’s efficiency was remarkable. After investigation, he quickly found Irene Morton’s location, which turned out to be a motel next to Irene’s residence. Sophie knew all too well what going to the motel meant.
Her fingers gripped Asher Land’s sleeve tightly as she stood shoulder to shoulder with him at the motel room door.
Asher Land patted her hand, signaling for her to be at ease.
The door was locked, but Robert Williams wasted no time and directly broke it open.
The inside was filled with smoke and chaos, the smell of cigarettes and alcohol instantly assaulted their noses, making Sophie feel nauseated deep inside.
"Who are you?" The people inside held bottles, pointing at the doorway and shouting.
Asher Land gave Robert a glance as a signal, which Robert understood perfectly. With a summon to his brothers, they effortlessly subdued the people. Robert naturally understood Asher Land’s style of handling things and knew what to do next without needing Asher’s instruction.
Robert took the group outside to ’deal with them,’ while Sophie’s gaze frantically searched the room but failed to find any trace of Irene Morton.
She walked towards the bathroom, pushed open the door, and the sight before her made her heart twist sharply...
Irene Morton was sitting naked on the cold bathroom floor, her smooth skin covered in bruises, her chest, the inner thighs, everywhere burned by cigarette butts, even the corner of her mouth had bruises...
Surely those people had abused her.
"Irene..." Sophie stood at the bathroom door, softly calling her name, causing the disheveled person squatting on the ground to respond as she slowly lifted her head...
When she looked at Sophie, there was even a smile on the corner of her mouth.
She didn’t know why she was smiling, maybe it was because she should feel glad that Sophie hadn’t suffered like her?
She lowered her head powerlessly, her body trembling uncontrollably.
Asher Land arrived at the bathroom door a bit later than Sophie, and upon seeing Irene like that, his heart instantly filled with panic.
He quickly took off his suit jacket and draped it over Irene, then lifted her up horizontally.
Irene suddenly looked up, an instant of panic.
He saw her like this, once again saw her so degraded, dirty, and disheveled...
Irene, oh Irene, how can you have any self-respect left to live in this world?
Her body suddenly started to convulse uncontrollably, cold sweat flowed, her lips trembling, her expression somewhat grotesque and strange.
"What’s wrong?" he asked worriedly.
"No, nothing..." Irene’s voice was extremely weak.
Asher Land thought she had caught a chill, and without hesitation, carried Irene out of the bathroom. Just as he stepped out, his gaze inadvertently landed on the nearby coffee table, where there were unextinguished cigarette butts, toppled wine bottles, and packets of suspicious white powder...
He frowned and walked toward the coffee table. He gently placed Irene on the sofa, reached out, touched a bit of the white powder, and brought it to his nose, sniffing at it.
"What is this?" he asked Irene.
"I, I don’t know..." Irene shook her head vigorously, her face full of fear.
