Chapter 642
“I’m talking about you, you lapdog, fawning over a two-faced girl while abusing your own sister. You don’t deserve to be a brother, yet you act all high and mighty. Your whole family is insane p>
Lemira smiled, pulling Oanice away. It wasn’t good to cause a scene with so many people watching.
Evander, still fuming from the verbal lashing, snapped, “Asher, did you see that? What kind of attitude was that? And you gave her the dress Eve wanted to win her over p>
“I’ll say it one more time: that dress belongs to Lemira. I didn’t give it to her p>
After all, with so many wealthy people in Orvin, his connections weren’t nearly good enough to get his hands on that dress.
Evelina spoke up meekly, “It must have been Ms. Waverly who helped her. Ms. Waverly never seemed to like me much p>
Asher thought the same. It was most likely Stella. “Whatever the case, we absolutely cannot offend Stella. Otherwise, you can all get out of the Langston family p>
Evelina forced a smile. “Don’t worry, Asher p>
With such a golden opportunity tonight, she was determined to make a good impression.
She needed to seize the chance to meet more people from high society. She had no real intention of marrying a loser like Evander.
With their own agendas in mind, the Langstons entered the banquet hall.
Lemira led Oanice on a tour of the hall before they ended up at the food section, since they didn’t know anyone there.
“Well, well. Just as I expected from country bumpkins. The first thing you do is head for the food. Look how utterly uncouth you are p>
Susanna approached with several of her friends, Evelina among them.
Lemira instinctively shielded Oanice, facing Susanna. “If you think the food section
is for country bumpkins, then I’ll be sure to ask Mrs. Waverly why she bothered setting up something so beneath Ms. Sinclair p>
Susanna’s face changed. “How dare you! I was just saying you’re country bumpkins, lowering the class of this party p>
That bitch was actually trying to frame her.
Evelina stepped forward. “Lemira, Ms. Sinclair was just offering some friendly advice. After all, we’ve never had the chance to attend a party like the Waverlys’ before. We should be careful not to make a fool of ourselves p>
Susanna still looked down her nose at them. “Exactly. I was just giving you a friendly reminder, so don’t be ungrateful. Don’t think you can just marry into wealth and become royalty. My sister is p>
“Oh, everyone’s here p>
Stella walked over just then, smiling at Lemira. “I’ve been waiting for you. I need your help with something p>
Without another word to Susanna, Lemira and Oanice followed Stella away.
After they left, Susanna glanced at Evelina. “Did you do it p>
Evelina’s smile was triumphant. “Of course. Soon, in front of all these people, Lemira’s reputation will be ruined for good p>
Susanna studied Evelina thoughtfully. “It seems you Langstons know your place. You’d better not be dreaming of climbing the social ladder p>
It appeared the Langstons had no intention of latching onto the Everhart family.
Evelina found Susanna’s words a bit odd, but she was finally getting a chance to teach Lemira a lesson. Besides, whether it succeeded or failed, Susanna would be the one to take the fall.
It was a foolproof plan.
Meanwhile, Lemira and Stella had moved to a quieter spot.
Oanice grumbled, “That Susanna is so annoying p>
Lemira agreed. She was just like her sister, Sophia, cut from the same cloth.
ตà¸à¸™à¹€
Stella lowered her voice. “I was worried you’d be at a disadvantage. But I haven’t seen Sophia today. I guess she’s afraid of being embarassed After all the news that Orion publicly clarified he has no engagement with the Sinclair family has already spread everywhere p>
Everyone at the party moved in the same circles, so of course they would be gossiping about the Sinclairs.
After the three had chatted for a while, a group of people suddenly approached.
Led by Susanna, they marched aggressively toward Lemira. “Give me back my emerald bracelet. You must have picked it up when you thought no one was looking p>
