"What does the old man want to say?" Asher Land suddenly felt uneasy. What could be so important that it had to be announced widely at Irene's birthday party?
"I don't know either, Uncle Land didn't say, did he? That's why I asked you, I thought he had told you something." Irene Morton feigned ignorance, thinking that if Asher Land knew Nathan Land intended to announce their engagement, he'd probably go talk to Nathan Land again.
Not to mention the engagement might be called off, and Nathan Land might lose his temper, and Asher Land would end up being punished again, so she had to keep quiet now.
"I better go ask him."
Asher Land had a vague feeling that Irene was hiding something from him. If, at Irene's birthday party, Nathan Land suddenly revealed something unexpected in front of so many dignitaries, there might not be a chance to remedy the situation.
