Chapter 481
Lemira had braced herself for countless unexpected scenarios, but never in her wildest dreams had she imagined reporters abruptly walking out on her.
This was a shocker.
Glancing at TG Group’s PR Team, she saw Debby intercepting the last reporter: “Can I ask why everyone suddenly left p>
“Ms. Lemira, I apologize, it’s not that I want to be rude, but my boss called and urgently demanded my return p>
“Can you share who’s behind this p>
The reporter hesitated before answering, “It’s odd to me too. Let me find out and I’ll get back to you.” And with that, the last reporter departed.
Collapsing into her chair, Lemira turned to Debby, “Someone’s orchestrating this, but the Langstons out in Orvin shouldn’t know about it. Who has the clout to make all media outlets leave simultaneously p>
She couldn’t believe the Langstons wielded such power in Orvin!
There had to be another explanation.
Debby pondered for a moment, “Well, there is one person who could, the News Queen of the Waverlies. Got any beef with the Waverlies p>
“I don’t even know them, let alone have any issues p>
Even in her past life, she had no ties to these people.
“That’s curious. But Ms. Langston, don’t worry. I’ll dig into this right away p>
“Thanks, Debby p>
No sooner had Lemira finished her sentence than she saw Asher marching over with a posse. Seeing Asher, she had an inkling.
But when did the Langstons get such pull? Something was off.
Asher made his way to Lemira, grabbed the mic after sitting down, and greeted, “Hello, everyone.” Lemira turned to Asher, “Did you engineer this p>
“Lemira, you’ve truly disappointed me. Hosting a press conference to reveal your ordeal with Caspian? Sadly, you won’t get that chance p>
He proceeded to burn Lemira’s prepared speech.
Gazing at her, he warned, “I’ve told you, family matters shouldn’t be aired in public, but you never listen.” Lemira, looking at her destroyed speech, “I’m surprised. Didn’t realize the Langstons had such sway in Orvin.
Asher dropped the mic, his tone menacing, “Lemira, forget about going public in the future. No one
will believe you, just like your press conference today-nobody came p>

Evelina, feigning concern, chimed in, “Lemmy, why antagonize our family? What good does ruining Caspian do for you p>
“Shut up, you’re the root of this p>
Lemira had meticulously planned today’s event, only to see it derailed.
This was her first real taste of the sheer power of influence.
Evelina reluctantly clammed up.
Asher, visibly upset, added, “Lemira,
Eve’s not entirely wrong. We’ve been building these connections to
uncover the truth behind our parents’ demise. Now, it’s all
disrupted because of you. Still think
you’re in the right p>
Evelina’s complexion changed in an instant.
What was Asher implying? Was he still probing into the accident?
Could it be that Asher also doubted the accident’s narrative, or suspected their father wasn’t dead?
In her past life, Lemira recalled, Asher never did uncover the truth.
So, Asher was pinning this on her, using their parents as leverage.
Lemira, eyeing Evelina, retorted, “MK.
Asher, by saying this, are you
l.ne
implying there’s something fishy about the accident? Does that make Evelina’s father a suspect?
