Noble Pampering: Demon CEO's Relentless Entanglement-Chapter 713 - 709 He Really Disappeared (2)

Eva Miller turned her head away, her heart filled with a strong sense of bitterness.

Even she believed Sophie Smith was about to find happiness, but who could have imagined that at the last moment, such an accident would occur.

If Sophie knew, Asher Land had already...

No, she definitely wouldn’t be able to accept it, so Eva felt that hiding it from her now along with Luke Land and Nolan Davis was the absolutely right decision. 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚

...

When the plane landed at the United States International Airport, it was eleven o’clock at night.

Sophie stood at the roadside with her suitcase. There were particularly few taxis this evening, and with the weather not being so good, she had been standing by the street for almost an hour but still hadn’t managed to catch a cab.

She wrapped her coat tightly around herself, her hands tucked in her pockets, her body shivering uncontrollably.

Finally, a taxi passed by her, and she reached out to hail it down.

"Hello, to the nearest hotel, please." Sophie said in slightly awkward English to a chubby middle-aged driver.

The driver was a very enthusiastic man, chatting incessantly with Sophie. Sophie just nodded slightly; he said so much, she only understood a few phrases.

Half an hour later, the driver took her to the nearest hotel. She paid the fare and then dragged her suitcase into the hotel to check in.

As soon as she got back to her room, she impatiently opened her computer. She found a translator online, knowing that if she tried to search for Asher Land in this unfamiliar place, the hope was really slender, especially since she didn’t speak the language.

After finding a translator, she began searching for some of the most reputable hospitals in the area, noting the addresses one by one in a notebook, until the early hours of the morning, her notebook already filled with several densely packed pages.

It was only later that she realized how stupid she had been at that time.

...

The translator she found online arrived early the next morning.

She was a 22-year-old college student, a Chinese named Nicole Chapman, studying in the United States.

"Hello, my name is Sophie Smith."

"Hello, Miss Smith." Nicole gave her a very friendly feeling, chatting casually with her. Later, upon hearing that Sophie was looking for someone, and the person she was searching for was the renowned Third Young Master Land of the Golden Era Consortium, Nicole couldn’t help but be extremely surprised.

"You mean to say that Third Young Master Land is missing now?"

Nicole had seen the recent news reports; the incident involving Asher Land’s car accident had been making waves recently. However, the Golden Era Consortium’s public relations department had released a statement, saying that Asher Land’s health was no longer in serious condition and he was recovering...

Who knew there would suddenly appear a woman claiming to be Third Young Master Land’s girlfriend, and furthermore saying that Third Young Master Land was missing...

But even though Nicole had some doubts, she didn’t ask Sophie much, after all, she was only there to do the job and get paid.

At around nine in the morning, Sophie went with Nicole to visit a few hospitals.

But looking at the admission records from the hospital front desks, it was clear that they had found nothing, Asher Land’s name wasn’t there at all.

Sophie sat dejectedly in the taxi, turning her head toward the window, watching the unfamiliar scenes on the street slip past her eyes.

"Miss Smith, I’m not sure if I should say this to you." Nicole originally intended to just take the money and leave after the job, but seeing Sophie in this state, she also felt somewhat uncomfortable. The onlooker sees clearly what the participant overlooks; if a few words from her could help Sophie see some reason, why not?

Only, she didn’t know just how deeply involved Sophie was.
