Chapter 664
“Asher, I think so too. Lemira must have done this to get back at the Langston family because you didn’t take her to the party. She turned us into a joke and got us thrown out. We can’t let her get away with such a humiliating act p>
Evander still remembered how Lemira had mocked him for being cheated on, and he gritted his teeth in hatred.
Did that damn girl really think she was untouchable?
Asher rubbed his temples, exasperated. “What evidence do you have that it was Lemira p>
Although he had his suspicions, Lemira and Stella were on good terms. If Lemira kept running her mouth to Stella, how was he supposed to win her back?
Evelina blurted out, “Asher, you can ask Mrs. Waverly! She must have evidence of who did it. I’m sure she can find out p>
Evander added, “Asher, as soon as we have proof, we can call the police and punish that damn girl, Lemira p>
“Well, well, well. If I hadn’t come back, I suppose you two would have already convicted and sentenced me p>
Lemira, who had been listening from the doorway, finally stepped inside.
When the Langstons saw her, their faces turned grim.
Evelina’s eyes were dark and predatory. “Lemmy, why would you do this? Why ruin things so badly that the Langston family was kicked out of the party, destroying years of Asher’s hard work p>
Evander, even more furious, wheeled himself forward to strike Lemira.
But Lemira slapped his hand away first. The force sent a numbing shock up Evander’s arm, followed by a sharp, searing pain.
Evander gasped in disbelief. “Lemira, how dare you raise a hand against your own brother p>
“You tried to hit me first p>
Evander retorted indignantly, “I’m your older brother! Do I need a reason to discipline you p>
Lemira’s eyes glinted with sarcasm. “I’ve never considered you my brother. Stop flattering yourself. Have some self-respect, will you p>
Evander was livid. “Asher, you see this? Look at her attitude! If she didn’t do it, who else could it have been p>
Evelina cried at Lemira, “Lemmy, I know you’ve never liked me, but you could have targeted me in private. Why did you have to expose this at the party? Asher has never done anything to wrong you p>
Her only option was to stir up Asher’s resentment toward Lemira, shifting the blame
for the disastrous evening onto her.
Lemira scoffed. “Evelina, you were the one caught cheating, you were the one messing around with Dorian in the lounge. What does any of that have to do with me p>
“But—but you were the one who exposed it! Do you have any idea how much this has affected Asher? Did you have to destroy everything he’s worked for destroy the entire Langston family
Every accusation was calculated to press Asher’s buttons.
Just as she’d hoped, Asher’s expression toward Lemira turned cold. “Lemira, tell me
the truth. Were you behind what happened at the party p>
Lemira looked at him. The once arrogant and overbearing Asher now looked somewhat defeated.
It seemed being thrown out by the Waverlys had hit him hard.
Lemira smiled, her lips curling into a smirk. “Does it matter if I was p>
“So it really was you, Lemira. But
your actions have destroyed my plans for the past several years! I was this close to elevating the Langston family, which would have made investigating the Sinclair family easier. Now, you’ve ruined everything p>
Asher’s eyes were bloodshot. “In that case, I see no reason to share the leads I’ve recently uncovered with you p>
Lemira’s expression faltered. “What else have you found p>
