Chapter 614
As far as he was concerned, Asher was not a suitable choice.
Lemira actually felt the same way.
Just then, Orion’s car pulled up to the curb.
He took Lemira’s hand and guided her into the car.
Lemira glanced back at Mrs. Waverly’s car. “Didn’t the Waverlies investigate Asher’s character or the situation with the Langston family before p>
“Because the Langstons have always lived in Sodas. Even if they investigated, all they would find are rumors about your bad reputation p>
Orion turned to look at her. “As for character, if a man wants to hide his true self, you’ll never see it p>
But he regretted the words as soon as they left his mouth.
Lemira raised an eyebrow. “You’re right, Mr. Everhart. You seem to know yourself quite well p>
Orion was at a loss for words. Did he just shoot himself in the foot?
He answered, lacking confidence, “I… at least I wasn’t trying to leech off a family fortune p>
“Is that because you were afraid I was after your family’s power and status p>
“What’s there to be afraid of? As long as you promise not to be angry and not to break up with me, I can have all my assets transferred to your name, and we’ll share everything after we’re married p>
Heat rose to Lemira’s cheeks as she retorted awkwardly, “Who wants to marry you? I want to break up with you p>
Hearing the word “breakup” again, Orion fell silent.
He didn’t answer. No matter what, he wouldn’t agree.
Lemira turned to look out the window, her gaze falling on his reflection. Her heart felt heavy, as if stuffed with cotton.
But right now, she couldn’t just let go of the fact that he had deceived her.
The car arrived outside the university.
Lemira opened the door and walked away without looking back.
Orion could only watch her retreating back, rubbing his temples in frustration. He loosened his tie and unbuttoned the top of his shirt.
It seemed he had a long road of coaxing ahead of him.
But the immediate priority was to stop his stepmother from adopting Lemira as her goddaughter. He didn’t need another sister.
Back in her dorm, Lemira’s mind was still preoccupied with what had just happened.
She saw that Stella was also back and wanted to ask her what Asher had said after he chased after her.
Stella seemed to read her mind and spoke up first. “Your brother Asher explained for a long time. He clarified that there’s nothing going on between him and Evelina, that he only sees her as a and that sister, Evelina is about to get engaged to Evander anyway p>
Lemira wasn’t surprised. “You saw for yourself what the Langston family is really like today p>
Stella’s eyes
ere clear. “I’ve already decided to break up with your brother p>
She hadn’t been deeply in love with Asher to begin with, but witnessing what happened at Bistrova
today-how he continued to lie fonet
her, taking Evelina’s side and blaming envira for the dr L
dress
incident was the final straw.
It proved that all the nasty rumors about Lemira were false.
Lemira let out a sigh of relief. “I also don’t think you and my brother are a good match. He’s a very ambitious man p>
He wouldn’t be content just marrying into a family.
Asher was using Stella.
But as long as Stella could see Asher for who he truly was, things would be much simpler. At least she wouldn’t be deceived.
The next few days, Lemira was busy with her team, preparing for the campus competition.
On the day of the preliminary round, all the sponsors were present.
When Lemira saw Sophia, she felt a flicker of disorientation, remembering their meeting in the coffee shop.
At that time, her mind had been a complete blank, filled with nothing but sadness and heartbreak.
Sophia approached with a smile.
“Ms. Langston, you look much better
than before. A girl should always
look forward…I’m so glad to see
you’ve picked yourself up and
started a new life.
Lemira stared at Sophia, a cold smile on her lips. “I hear congratulations are in order
for you and the Everhart family p>
“We were trying to keep it low-key, but I guess the paparazzi found out p>
Sophia tucked a strand of hair behind her ear, a faint smile playing on her lips. “After
all, Orion and I grew up together. No matter what happens, we were always meant to be married p>
“Is that so? Then why did Mrs. Amanda say there’s no engagement between you?” As Lemira spoke, Sophia’s perfect smile cracked.
