Chapter 400
The Sinclairs didn’t stand a chance, of course.
engaged p>
Michel clicked his tongue: “The whole Sinclair and Everhart saga has been buzzing around forever, yet I’ve never seen the Everhart guy publicly with your sister, nor has he ever acknowledged her. It’s like there’s nothing there, but she’s acting as if they’re practically
Lemira looked at Michel, surprised. Was there really such a backstory?
In her previous life, she had heard rumors about Ms. Sinclair getting engaged to the Everhart heir, but it seemed like it was never officially confirmed. It always remained just that – rumors.
Susanna was fuming: “What would a broke worker bee like you know? My future brother-in-law has been busy abroad, only recently returning to the Everhart family. Our families are about to sit down for dinner soon to discuss the engagement.” Why else would she swallow her pride and publicly apologize to Lemira?
It was all for her sister’s engagement to the Everhart heir.
“Susanna, are you out of your mind? Since when did my brother agree to have dinner with the Sinclairs p>
Lemira looked up to see Matthew approaching, wearing oversized sunglasses and exuding a cool, mysterious vibe.
Was he here to set the record straight?
Upon seeing Matthew, Susanna’s face soured: “It’s already been discussed between our families p>
“That was something my mom worked out with the Sinclairs, it’s got nothing to do with my brother p>
“Your mom was arranging the engagement on behalf of your brother p>
“Well, then let my mom marry your sister. Since it’s always been her handling the marriage talks, seems like they’d be a better match p>
Matthew’s bold statement shocked everyone around.
Susanna burst into tears: “Matthew, don’t you dare go too far. Your mom personally arranged this engagement. Aren’t you afraid of embarrassing her p>
“Well, I’ve been the black sheep of the family long enough, a little more embarrassment won’t kill her p>
She has Orion to make her proud, after all.
Susanna, unable to bear the scrutiny and unable to outwit Matthew, stormed off.
But Evelina stayed, her face alight with excitement.
She hadn’t realized that the captain of the Reapers was the Everhart heir’s brother, a bona fide member ultra-wealthy dynasty.
This was beyond Dorian’s league.
A frenzy took hold in Evelina’s heart. If she could snag Matthew, she’d become the young Mrs. Everhart.
Containing her excitement, Evelina knew she had to make her move.
She approached Matthew, her voice. soft and weak: “Susanna is just a kid at heart, she was only talking about the sponsorship for the Orvin University Team base p>
“The Orvin University base needs sponsorship p>
Matthew completely ignored Evelina, walking over to Lemira: “Why didn’t you tell me about this p>
His sister-in-law needed sponsorship, something he could easily arrange with a simple call.
Was there really a need for her to personally seek out sponsors? That’s giving those companies too much credit.
Lemira nodded: “The Sinclairs used to be the main sponsor, but after a bit of drama, they pulled out p>
She didn’t delve into what exactly had happened with the Sinclairs.
Matthew looked towards the sponsors: “What are you waiting for? This is a golden opportunity, grab it before it’s gone.” Lemira gently tugged at Matthew: “I’ve already spoken to them, we’ll discuss the details later p>
“Of course, young Mr. Everhart, we didn’t say we wouldn’t sponsor p>
“Absolutely, we’re all willing. Especially with Ms. Langston’s talent, she’s bound to be a dark horse next year p>
Matthew nodded, satisfied: “That’s more like it. Lemira is my friend, make sure you treat her right p>
After all, it was his brother’s command.
Suddenly, Lemira realized everyone’s attitude towards her had improved significantly. Evelina, seeing Matthew standing by Lemira’s side, was livid with envy.
What was so special about Lemira?
Unable to contain her jealousy,
Evelina shamelessly approached et

“Lemmy, when did you get Mr. Everhart p>
