Chapter 667
Hearing his offer, Lemira shot him a cold look. As expected, Asher was still desperate for the Waverlys’ support and resources.
She sat down on the sofa. “And how can I trust that what you’re saying is true p>
“What do you mean p>
“Exactly what it sounds like. You claim to have found new leads out of the blue, after years of finding nothing. You really think I’ll believe that p>
Lemira had calmed down now.
She suspected Asher’s claim of having more leads was likely a lie.
It was probably just a tactic to control her.
Asher’s eyes narrowed. “If you’re determined to be suspicious, there’s nothing I can do. I’ve been investigating for years; it’s only natural that I’d be ahead of you p>
“But I don’t believe you p>
Lemira looked at Asher, her expression making it clear she wouldn’t be fooled.
Asher considered this, then sighed. “Lemira, I’m your brother. Finding the truth about our parents’ death is something we should be doing together. We have no conflicting interests here. You don’t need to be so guarded with me p>
“Have you forgotten how many times you’ve used our parents to threaten me p>
Lemira’s face was impassive as she reminded her oh-so-calculating brother of his past manipulations.
Asher coughed into his hand. “That was only because you were being disobedient, I had to p>
But seeing Lemira’s expression grow colder, he trailed off. There was no point in lecturing her now.
She was completely unyielding, like a stone.
Finally, Asher adjusted his expression. “Lemira, the Langston family is at a critical juncture. The Waverlys are our biggest investors. If Mrs. Waverly pulls her funding, Langston Group won’t last. It will go bankrupt p>
“What gave you the courage to continue investing in the Al project? You didn’t even win the bid p>
Lemira’s words were a test; she wanted to know why Asher had partnered with PZ Group.
“Lemira, you’re just afraid Langston Group will compete with Maple Group in the future, aren’t you? Business competition is normal. If its not me, it will be another company. Why can’t we, as siblings, share the market p>
Lemira lowered her gaze. “Of course not. I heard you’re also working with a foreign company. Have you done a thorough background check on this PZ Group p>
“PZ Group is famous. Does it need a background check? They’ve partnered with
many major companies, all of which have made a lot of money p>
Asher wasn’t a novice in business; he had naturally done his due diligence.
Lemira knew it. Otherwise, how could PZ Group have scammed so many people in her past life? Even the Everhart Group had been fooled.
Lemira looked at Asher. “The first

idiots p>
With that, Lemira went upstairs.
As she passed Evander’s room, she heard Evelina’s breathless moans from inside.
“Evander, be gentle, you’re hurting me p>
Lemira paused, a wave of nausea washing over her.
That two-faced girl was really going all out. Had she resorted to sleeping with him?
She remembered that in her past
life, Evelina had been engaged toet
Dorian and had maintained a very chaste public image. But in this life, she had fallen this far.
Back in her bedroom, Lemira thought about Evelina sleeping with the butler. If Evander found out, would he dump her immediately?
But if Evelina was kicked out, she wouldn’t be able to work on Asher’s Al project.
How could Lemira then catch her colluding with PZ Group?
Evelina would definitely embezzle money from the project.
Lemira had been monitoring Evelina’s bank accounts. If a large sum of money came in, she would be notified.
Evelina wouldn’t keep the money; she would transfer it to her supposedly dead father.
The man who had shown up at the auto repair shop was just Evelina’s cousin, and
he hadn’t done anything suspicious recently.
Lemira thought for a long time, then let out a slow breath.
