Chapter 559
This was like dropping a bombshell.
Lemira felt her head spinning. Something wasn’t right.
She glanced over at Evelina, who wasn’t putting up any fight. In a past life, hadn’t Evelina schemed to marry Dorian and become a member of high society?
Why was everything different now?
Asher seemed a bit peeved. “Evander, what are you doing? Everyone knows Eve is our adopted sister. Being with her, aren’t you worried people will gossip p>
He knew Evander had a thing for Evelina back in the day, but he thought after all these years, Evander would have moved on.
Evelina kept her head down, silent.
Right now, the only person she could rely on was Evander.
Her dad hadn’t been in touch, and she couldn’t count on him entirely. She needed a backup plan.
Luckily, Evander still had feelings for her.
Evander spoke up, “Eve’s just an adopted sister. She’s not related to the Langston family by blood. I’ve liked her for years. If I hadn’t hurt my leg, I wouldn’t have
waited this long to say it p>
Lemira found it all a bit odd.
Based on what she knew about Evelina, the “two-faced” girl had no interest in the Langston family. She wanted to marry into wealth and live the high life.
Why would she agree to be with Evander now?
Unless it was to dodge the scandal with the foundation kickbacks. The “two-faced” girl would do anything to save herself.
Asher looked conflicted. “This doesn’t seem right p>
“There’s nothing wrong about it. Eve and I like each other,” Evander insisted.
Asher glanced at Evelina, surprised. “But wasn’t she seeing that guy from the Draven family p>
Evelina quickly clarified, “I’ve broken up with Dorian. He was just fooling me with what he said before p>
Of course, she wasn’t about to admit she was still secretly seeing Dorian.
Asher wasn’t buying the “two-faced” girl’s story.
Lemira also thought the excuse was a bit flimsy.
But Evander turned to her. “Lemira, Eve’s going to be your sister-in-law soon, part of the Langston family. You can’t be so ruthless to your own family, can you?” s
Lemira clapped her hands, her expression unchanged. “Well, this is quite the show p>
She never expected Evelina to pull something like this.
She wanted to tell Evander she had
already signed papers severing ties with the Langston family, so she couldn’t care less who Evelina ended up with. s
But that was before.
She was back with the Langston family to expose whoever was backing Evelina. Quitting now would mean all her efforts were wasted.
Lemira said flatly, “What’s it got to do with me? I’m not the one getting married to her p>
“Lemira, if you agree to let this go, then we can forget about you authorizing my amputation all those years ago p>
Evander’s tone was self-righteous.
Evelina’s eyes welled up with tears as she choked out, “Evander, how can I let
you suffer for my mistake? I should just accept the punishment p>
“No, Eve. I won’t let you face the police. I’ll protect you, I promise p>
Evander clutched Evelina’s hand, full of affection.
He turned to Lemira. “So, have you made up your mind p>
Lemira didn’t respond. She couldn’t believe Evander was into Evelina.
But then Alaric, standing by her side, spoke up. “Exander, what are you talking about? Your amputation had nothing to do with Lemira. It was Asher who didn’t want to take responsibility. He ignored Lemira’s caffs, forcing her to sign the paperwork for your amputation.” s
Alaric’s words were like another bomb going off.
Lemira was stunned. “Is that true p>
She had always wondered why, in such a dire situation, Asher wouldn’t pick up his phone. It didn’t add up.
Asher knew Evander was in surgery. What could be more important than his own brother’s life?
“It’s true, alright. Lucian told me himself. There’s no way it’s false p>
Lemira turned to Asher, her eyes filled with disdain.
Her look infuriated Asher, who hurled a glass at Alaric. “What nonsense are you
spouting? I never did anything like that p>
