Chapter 528
Lemira saw through Asher’s intentions clearly; it was evident he was manipulative in his attempts to marry into the Waverlies for his own advantage.
After expressing her thoughts, Lemira went upstairs. Asher was left in the living room, seething with anger and feeling deeply embarrassed by Lemira’s straightforward words. Evelina took the opportunity to speak, “Asher, don’t be upset p>
“Get out, it’s you all who’ve been causing me trouble,” Asher retorted sharply, storming off and dragging Evelina into his ire. Evelina was shocked at how easily Asher was provoked!
Caspian, with a hint of derision in his eyes, commented, “Asher’s pride has always been his greatest weakness. Now that Lemira has exposed him, of course, he’s lost face.” Lucian nodded in agreement, aware of the engagement with the Waverlies but had kept quiet to protect Asher’s ego. Evelina, covering her face with her hands, lamented, “Lucian, but Lemmy has been with that loser for some time. What if he’s just using her?” Lucian’s expression grew stern, determined to prevent that situation. Caspian, however, retorted to Evelina, “At least Lemira has money. You have nothing and still cling to Dorian. You know what that’s called? A gold digger.” With that, Caspian walked away.
Evelina was furious, looking to Lucian for support, but he said, “I think Caspian has a point. You should have some self-respect. The Draven family is beyond your reach.” Evelina’s eyes filled with tears, but Lucian, Caspian, and Alaric all left her alone. No one defended her, and no one cared. Evelina began to think her father was right. She had no blood ties to the Langston family; to them, the only sister was Lemira. Well then, she thought, don’t blame me for being impolite. The next morning, Lemira got up early. But when she reached the living room, only Lucian was there. He looked at her and said, “They’ve already gone to the venue. I stayed back to go with you.” Lemira nodded and went straight to the kitchen for breakfast. Lucian followed, hesitating before asking, “Is that guy really worth it p>
“At least back when you all treated me like that, he was the only one by my side, and he’s not an opportunist p>
Lucian hesitated, “Maybe we should meet him sometime p>
“There’s no need because your opinions don’t matter to me.” Lemira made it clear she didn’t consider herself part of the Langstons, nor did she see them as her brothers. Seeing Lemira’s expression, Ducian didn’t dare say more. After
the charity event,
breakfast, Lemira headed straight to event, only to see Eveling, dressed in designer labels, flaunting her manicured nails, acting all high and mighty with the staff. s
Lemira approached the lavishly decorated venue, “Evelina, have you lost your
mind? I told you to change the venue!” “There wasn’t enough time, and besides, I think it looks great p>
Evelina said with a smug smile,
“Lemmy, you don’t understand these
things, just leave it to me.” Lemira yanked the fur coat off Evelina and tossedit to the ground. Evelina clutched her chest as if in physical pain, “What are you doing? This is expensive, real fur!” s
“This is a charity event, not a fashion show. You look like a wannabe influencer, and what does that say about our foundation p>
Lucian, overhearing, said sternly, “Evelina, change your clothes. The event goes by Lemmy’s plan p>
“But Lucian, I’m in charge of this event p>
Lucian glared at the staff, “Escort Evelina out, and follow Lemmy’s lead. She’s the one in charge of the foundation p>
“Let’s see who dares to kick her out p>
