Chapter 615
Lemira’s expression was perfectly calm as she noted the change in Sophia’s face.
In just a few seconds, Sophia’s expression shifted from embarrassment to anger, before quickly settling back into a serene mask.
Lemira had to admire the top socialite’s composure.
She had been completely fooled by Sophia in the coffee shop.
Sophia’s smile faded, her tone taking on a haughty edge. “Orion and I were still childhood sweethearts, a perfect match in social standing. But you’re different. He had to hide his true identity from you. How much do you think he really cares about you p>
Those words, naturally, stung.
Lemira’s lips curled into a cold smirk. “Are you dropping the act now, Ms. Sinclair p>
Sophia’s eyes flashed with anger. “What act? Everything I told you before was for your own good. Did you really think some Cinderella could just marry into a fortune p>
“And yet, Ms. Sinclair, after scheming for so many years, didn’t you also fail to marry a man from a wealthier family? In the end, you had to resort to dirty tricks to drive a wedge between me and Orion p>
After hearing Mrs. Amanda clarify that there was no engagement, Lemira had pieced it all together. It had to be Sophia’s doing.
After all, Sophia had been at Bistrova that day and knew she and Orion were together.
Sophia’s plan had started with that phone call.
But the fact that Sophia knew Orion’s phone passcode still bothered Lemira. Sophia’s expression darkened for a moment. This little tramp was smarter than she looked.
Sophia lowered her voice. “So what? He didn’t even tell you who he really was because he was afraid you’d cling to him. You must have asked him by now, right? It won’t be long before he gives you the cold shoulder. After all, he could never marry you p>
Sophia delivered her tirade, but her heart sank when she saw Lemira remained completely unfazed.
Suddenly, Lemira laughed, and the mockery in her eyes was a sharp sting to Sophia.
Sophia’s voice grew shrill. “What’s that supposed to mean p>
“Ms. Sinclair, you clearly didn’t look in a mirror while you were talking. Even that thick layer of foundation can’t hide your jealousy p>
Lemira’s light, airy words were enough to enrage Sophia.
“Don’t get too cocky, Lemira. You’re not worthy of the Everhart family. Neither Mrs.
Amanda nor Grandma Eileen would ever approve of you being with him p>
Social status was the only weapon Sophia had against Lemira.
Lemira smiled faintly. “That’s my business, not yours. You came rushing over to find me because you
wanted to test the waters, to
See
Where Orion and I stand, didn’t you? To see if I’d stay with him?
She wouldn’t be foolish enough to fall for the same trick twice.
Sophia gritted her teeth in frustration. “Ms. Langston, you’re just as unpleasant as the rumors say p>
“And you, Ms. Sinclair, are just as charming and eloquent as they say. You can twist lies into truth and even tried to brand me as the other woman. I don’t have your thick skin p>
Lemira wasn’t holding back anymore.
After all, this woman had schemed against her and caused her so much pain.
Now she realized it had all been orchestrated by Sophia.
Sophia snorted coldly. “Orion and I have known each other since we were children.
Our families were already discussing our engagement p>
“You can only fool yourself with
those words. The truth is, the
Sinclair family wants to curry favor with the Everharts. You want to
marryOrion, but he’s never beast.
interested in your nor does he like you p>
Her words hit a raw nerve, and Sophia, enraged, raised her hand to strike.
Lemira caught her wrist. “What’s wrong? Did the truth make you lose your temper p>
