The moment Lemira saw that two-faced girl shamelessly flirting with Orion, she strode forward and yanked Evelina aside.

She said coldly, “Don’t make a scene here. Your fiancé is right over there—he’s not dead yet, you know!”

Evelina’s shamelessness truly knew no bounds.

“Lemmy, you’ve misunderstood me. It really hurts that you’d think of me that way,” Evelina said, her eyes immediately filling with tears, her voice trembling with wounded innocence. “I’m just saying this for your own good. If you marry Mr. Everhart, the Langston family will be your only family—your only support.”

“Don’t flatter yourself. As if any of you could be counted on,” Lemira shot back.

She had to admit, Evelina’s ability to adapt was impressive.

Just then, Evelina, still sniffling, went over to Asher. “Asher, Lemmy really has the wrong idea about me.”

Asher let out a cold snort. “Serve you right for sucking up to people who have no interest in you. You had it coming.”

Evelina’s expression stiffened—she hadn’t expected Asher to say that!

Didn’t he want to smooth things over, hoping Orion would let the Langston Group off the hook?

If the Langston Group actually went bankrupt, what would happen to her plans? She hadn’t even gotten her hands on the money yet!

Seeing this, Lemira let out a laugh. “Hear that, Evelina? Asher’s always been too proud to ever admit he’s wrong. You’ll never see him bow his head.”

Asher spoke icily. “Lemira, I did underestimate you. But don’t think I’m going to give up that easily.”

The idea of apologizing now was unthinkable.

Asher had been proud his whole life; there was no way he’d bow to a man he looked down on. That would be worse than death.

Lemira nodded. “Perfect. I’d like to see how long a company that only knows how to play dirty can last.”

He snapped, “Why are you still standing here? Want to embarrass yourselves even more?”

Evelina was reluctant to leave. She glanced back at Orion, regret shining in her eyes. If only she’d known who he really was, she would have made her move long ago.

Then Lemira wouldn’t have gotten so lucky.

Evelina turned to Orion and said, “Mr. Everhart, I know Asher was wrong, but he was only following Mrs. Waverly’s instructions. You can’t blame everything on the Langston family!”

Orion’s gaze was icy. “You’re not even worthy of speaking to me.”

Evelina’s smile froze on her face. “Mr. Everhart, I know you have some misunderstandings about the Langston family because of what happened before, but Lemmy and I will always be family. If you and Lemmy end up together, the Langston family will always be her home base.”
