The CEO’s Pet Cat

Chapter 136 Who is stronger



Asher barked at the assassins to cut Sun Sung loose, but Riina stopped the assassins, who couldn’t help but obey, with a single eye dart.

“Asher, listen to me, what he just said was all nonsense, it’s really because he went so far as to drop anonymous letters to scam, I wanted to teach him a lesson, you have to believe me!” Riina pleaded Asher with tears in her eyes and a whimper.

Asher was indeed somewhat impressed by this pearly look of hers, yet as soon as he glanced at Sun Cheng, he sobered up in a flash, looking at Sun Cheng’s injuries he could see how vicious this woman’s heart really was, how could he be soft on her.

He watched Leena’s performance with an expressionless face and asked slowly, “So tell me, what really happened five years ago? You just acquiesced by not avoiding that question.”

Riina’s eyes flickered for a moment, still intent on lying to Asher to the end, and she shook her head gently, “Asher, I don’t even know what he was talking about just now, five years ago, nothing happened five years ago!”

Asher fought the urge to raise his hand to slap the woman and snarled, “Five years ago Mia had a miscarriage and this is all called nothing? How can you have such a bad heart, you woman?!”

“Asher, that woman had a miscarriage, it’s none of my business, it’s not like I caused her!” Seeing Asher in this state, Leena’s heart snapped and her tone hardened coldly.

It was easier to lie with a straight face so as not to be noticed, and Riina hadn’t done much lying, so that skill was still ten times better, and she gave a quiet smile in a corner where Asher couldn’t see it.

But what Riina hadn’t expected was that Asher not only suspected her a long time ago, but after what had just happened, he didn’t believe her words half as much anymore, no matter how sympathetic she was, it was useless.

Riina released Asher’s arm, which she had been clinging to, which was just as Asher had intended, and he took a big step forward to peel the three assassins aside and free Sun Sung from their grasp.

The three assassins could see that Asher was a man of great stature, as well as supposedly important in Lina’s mind, and they obeyed Asher’s wishes to move out of the way, while their eyes flicked towards Lina, asking her for instructions on what they should do.

Riina’s almond eyes were covered in gloom, the only way to get things to this point was to do something desperate and let the Sun Sung who seemed to know about what happened five years ago die before she could find a way to slowly dispel Asher’s doubts.

She gestured towards the three assassins, who then immediately led the way and grabbed towards Sun Cheng.

Asher, who was also very good with his hands, kicked an assassin away, sneered and glanced askance at Lena, then said to a few cars in the dark by the alleyway, “All down here to help.”

The doors of several fancy cars swung open in response, and black-suited men armed with clubs fishtailed out, plucking aside Lena, who was blocking the alleyway, and flocking to guard Asher’s perimeter.

Those three assassins were scared silly at this scene, they were indeed very powerful and capable of fighting, but a ratio of one to ten would scare anyone, those three assassins didn’t dare to look at Lina again and said tremblingly, “We are just following orders, please give us a higher hand.”

Asher grimaced dismissively and said, “Get out.”

Those few assassins were like a great pardon, they hurriedly scampered away, no matter how much Lina greeted them, they didn’t look back, one look at Asher’s noble aura and they knew that this person could not afford to mess with him, if they didn’t run away now, they were afraid that they would end up in a miserable situation later.

Riina realized at this point that Asher was really angry, she hesitated for a moment, but still walked next to Asher and said coyly, “Asher, this Sun Sung is one of your men, right? I didn’t know he was one of your men, it’s my fault for letting someone beat him up, just forgive me.”

This evasive statement gave Asher the feeling that he was communicating with stupidity, and he rubbed the bruises at the corners of his forehead, ordering his men to take Sun Sung to the hospital, and as for Lina, he shoved her roughly into the car himself.

The caravan left in a desperate rush, bringing up a trail of billowing dust, the last thing around this part of Reason Second Street was a hotel, and Asher took Lena into the largest hotel in the area and got a room, during which time Lena was submissive.

She knew in her heart of hearts that she had played a big game today, and her head was scrambling to come up with the perfect way to explain things in order to successfully muddle Asher over later.

Asher’s attitude towards her now is simply impenetrable to her, and after thinking of how many possibilities she can’t understand why Asher would arrange for Sun Sung to test her in that alley, and according to Sun Sung’s words, they most likely already fully know what happened five years ago, so why is Asher still holding onto her now?

Lena’s head was still churning with the question as she was held down on the kit’s queen-size bed by Asher, and she mindlessly mumbled out, “What do you want if you know everything?”

Asher had seen through Leena’s nature, and he wasn’t going to be naive enough to think that if he asked Leena to explain to Mia, she would really listen, even though the old Leena had been obedient to him, but that was something Leena would probably not do even if she would rather break up with him.

Trying to prove his innocence and going through the hands of his lover’s love interest is too much of a pain in the ass for Asher to think about and come up with a viable solution.

He was holding Lina down now, and although his attitude was forceful, he didn’t actually know what to do next himself; he couldn’t hold Lina for too long, and had to take advantage of the time to solve the problem.

Riina’s confusion deepened when she saw Asher not answer, and she twisted herself so that her seductive form fit Asher more and more.

Even though Asher’s mind wasn’t on it, he was quickly feeling it under Lena’s very expert teasing, and Asher looked down to see Lena’s triumphant smile.

The smile irritated him, and as a man, he couldn’t just be a creature that thought from the bottom half of his body, that was something Asher himself couldn’t stand, even if he wasn’t despised by others.

He jerked up straight and looked at Lina coldly, “Be quiet, don’t play those useless tricks, what happened five years ago, do you want to explain yourself or do I have to force you?”

Riina blinked, innocently, “What happened five years ago? You say you know all about it, but I don’t know yet.”Belongs © to NôvelDrama.Org.

Asher leaned down and cupped Riina’s chin, snorting, “Stop playing dumb or don’t blame me for not showing you any mercy.”

The large hand on her chin squeezed with such force that tears sprang up from the pain, and Riina struggled, “Asher, don’t you go too far! Just because I like you means I do, but that doesn’t mean I have to be insulted by you!”

A woman’s strength was too small compared to a man’s, and after a hundred unsuccessful struggles, Lena was still being held down hard by Asher’s jaw, and she couldn’t help but whimper, her eyes wet and obvious, “Asher, if you do this to me again, I’ll be sure to tell my father, and then you won’t come begging to me!”

The moment he said that, he almost touched Asher’s sore spot, he was already on the verge of exploding after being suppressed by Lina’s father for this period of time, at this moment, hearing Lina say that, his face suddenly turned cold and evil, and his words also offended Lina completely: “What can your father do? Whoever gave birth to such a bitch like you can’t do anything!”

Riina was frozen for a moment, and half a moment later her body was shaking with anger as she pointed at Asher’s nose and said, “You, hello, I’d like to see if you’ll come crying and begging to me after your downfall!”

Asher, distracted, swatted Riina away and turned and headed for the door, he was now sure that Riina had done what happened to Mia five years ago and now he had to formulate a second step to get Mia to forgive him.

To Asher’s utter dismay, he turned around and had only taken a few steps when Lena jumped up behind him and hugged him around the waist, crying and begging, “Asher, don’t go, I know I was wrong, please forgive me, please don’t leave me!”

Riina’s voice sounded like an abandoned kitten wailing, with a sticky sobbing voice, Asher’s heart softened for a moment, he turned around but instead of intending to forgive Riina, he said to Riina like a demon, “I advise you to go back now and ventilate your father and tell him that from today onwards, I, Asher, am going to be his enemy. ”

The words were spoken with such intent by Asher, he had wanted to do so for a long time, but the time had not been ripe before, and now that he had complete certainty of taking the Lina family business down, it was painfully obvious.

Riina seems to have fallen into a meltdown, she doesn’t notice what Asher is saying at all and just hugs him begging him not to leave, Asher coldly swats Riina away and turns around without a second thought.

Lena lunged again but failed to stand and fell at Asher’s feet with a shriek, she didn’t have time to get up before she tugged at Asher’s pant leg again and continued to plead.

Asher stared back, his eyes as sharp as swords as he crouched down and said with a nasty hook of his mouth, “I can forgive you and I can keep your family business, but you will tell Mia exactly what you did five years ago.”

Lena stiffened as she heard, knowing that pretending she knew nothing more was out of the question, and she calmly stood up, gazing at Asher for a long moment before saying slowly, “Yes.”

Those two words seemed to exhaust all of Rina’s strength, and after they were said she went limp on the soft carpet beneath her, not having the strength to look up at Asher again.

Asher, although outwardly calm, had actually had his heart welling up in his chest, a little uncomfortable with doing this to Lena, but more so with the relief of finally being able to prove his innocence to Mia.

Asher wasn’t in a hurry at this point, he turned back to the bed and sat down, deciding it was best to show a little gentlemanly manners as he pulled Lina up from the floor and sat her on the bed as well.
