Chapter 660
Lemira nodded. “That’s right. Matters like this should be decided by a judge p>
She remembered that Susanna was still out on bail. If this incident blew up, she would be taken into custody.
Mrs. Amelia’s demeanor suddenly changed. “If Ms. Langston insists, then the Sinclair family will see this through to the end. After all, the video only shows that girl planting the item. There’s no concrete proof that our Susanna was behind it. Even in court, we have nothing to fear p>
Besides, she had already made arrangements for that girl. She wouldn’t be talking.
As long as there was no direct evidence linking Susanna to the crime, there was nothing they could do to the Sinclair family.
It would just be a minor inconvenience.
Mrs. Waverly quickly interjected, “My, my, why make such a fuss over a small matter? Ms. Langston, one shouldn’t be so petty. You’ll have to deal with all of us in the future p>
Another middle-aged woman added fuel to the fire, “Just as I thought, from a no- name family. So ungracious. Can’t even take a little joke p>
Orion’s cold gaze swept over to her. “I heard your son was messing around with a woman and ended up killing her p>
The woman immediately jumped up. “That’s not true! Mr. Everhart, you have quite a sense of humor p>
Matthew shot back, “So you can’t take a joke either p>
“But how can you joke about something like that p>
“Then how can you joke about her being framed for theft? Lemira was wronged, and you expect her to be gracious? Why should she p>
After Matthew’s tirade, the middle-aged woman didn’t dare say another word.
Mrs. Amelia saw that Orion had silenced everyone around her. She knew then that he was determined to protect Lemira.
Her pleasant demeanor vanished. “Fine. The Sinclair family will be waiting. We don’t start trouble, but we aren’t afraid of it either p>
With that, Mrs. Amelia turned and left.

Mrs. Waverly glanced back at Lemira and began to lecture her. “Ms. Langston, do you always cause conflict wherever you go? embarrassing Stella. As her friend,” do you think that’s appropriate p>
Before Lemira could respond, Orion spoke up. “Mrs. Waverly, I hear you’re collaborating with Asher on an Al project and have invested quite a bit of money p>
Mrs. Waverly’s expression became a bit unnatural. “It’s just an investment. Naturally, one invests in what seems profitable p>
“I would still like to remind you, Mrs. Waverly, that he is not a reliable man. As Stella’s Edith and guardian, choosing a man of poor character for her might lead people to believe you have an interest in Stella’s Inheritance. That would be even more embarrassing p>
Mrs. Waverly’s face paled with anger. If anyone else had said that to her, she would have exploded.
But it was Orion, and she couldn’t
afford to offend him. She could only say dryly, “I’ll keep that in mind. But aren’t you worried about upsetting
Ms Langston by speaking so her brother p>
No matter what, Asher was still Lemira’s biological brother.
Lemira met Mrs. Waverly’s scrutinizing gaze and replied calmly, “I severed ties with the Langston family a long time ago p>
“Ms. Langston, I heard your parents passed away and that your brother supported the family and raised you. After all he’s done for you, how can you just cut ties like that p>
Mrs. Waverly pressed, as if she had caught Lemira in a trap.
Lemira’s expression grew much colder. “I don’t believe I owe you an explanation p>
