Chapter 714
The Langston family had been completely outmaneuvered, and in the end, their home was shattered and their family destroyed.
After their conversation ended, a heavy silence fell on both ends of the line.
The man finally spoke: “It’s getting late. You should get some rest p>
“Alright p>
Lemira responded, then hung up the phone.
She glanced at their chat history, and for a moment, it felt as if she were back in
Lyria, as though none of the recent turmoil had ever happened.
Maybe, for now, this really was the best way for them to get along.
Lemira tucked the signed documents under her pillow, finally ready for a good night’s sleep.
At least she would sleep well tonight.
But as for some others, she doubted they’d be so lucky. They’d probably be too angry to get a wink of sleep.
The next morning, Lemira woke up feeling refreshed and headed downstairs for breakfast.
As she passed by a room in the hallway, she heard Evelina crying, still clearly dissatisfied.
“Lemira, stop right there p>
Evander, quick to spot her, hurriedly wheeled himself out and called after her. “I need to talk to you about something p>
“I’m not interested p>
Lemira flatly refused and went downstairs to eat.
Not long after, Evander came down with a tearful Evelina. He looked directly at Lemira and said, “Sell this villa to me p>
“How much are you offering p>
Evander replied confidently, “I know you bought this villa for five million. How about I give you double that p>
Lemira burst out laughing. “This place is worth fifty million now, and its value is only going to keep going up p>
Besides, this was a famously wealthy neighborhood, home to celebrities and the city’s elite.
Villas here were highly sought after and extremely rare.
Evander’s face turned red with anger. “Lemira, don’t be so
already letting you make el.net unreasonable. We’re family! I’
five-million-dollar profit
“If you can’t afford it, stop pretending to be someone you’re not p>
Lemira shot Evander a look of disdain.
Ten million for a fifty-million-dollar property? He must be dreaming.
After being refused, Evelina immediately complained, “Evander, this is supposed to be our marital home p>
She’d been so upset last night she couldn’t sleep, and had gone out of her way to cajole Evander into getting the villa back for her.
Evander looked at Lemira. “Alright, then how about this: I’ll put up my shares in the Langston Group as collateral. That should do it, right p>
Evelina chimed in, “Evander’s shares are worth way more than fifty million p>
Of course, if the Langston Group went bankrupt, those shares would be worthless. Trading them for a villa now was a steal.
Lemira shot Evelina a look—she knew exactly what the “two-faced” girl was plotting. She rolled her eyes. “No way. What are you going to do, bite me p>
“Lemira, you already have a boyfriend like the heir to the Orvin fortune. Why are you still fighting us over this p>
Evelina’s tone was dripping with jealousy. “Besides, you could help your own family out in the future p>
“My own family? You can barely keep your eyes off Orion. With your scheming, who’d want to call you family p>
Evelina stamped her foot. “That’s not
it all wrong I’m
true! You’ve gonder why would

If Lemira hadn’t exposed her and Evander’s secret at the party, Dorian Draven wouldn’t have dumped her.
Otherwise, she could have married into the prestigious Draven family and been just as well off as Lemira!
Evander puffed up and insisted, “Lemira, I’m telling you, whether you want to or not, you’re selling this villa today p>
“And why’s that p>
“Because I’m your brother, and she’s your sister-in-law p>
Lemira rolled her eyes so hard they nearly disappeared. “Oh, please. Have you no shame p>
With a half smile, Lemira looked at Evander. “Tell you what-if you both get on your knees and call me ‘Grand Mistress three times, might consider selling you the villa.
Evander’s face turned green with anger.
