Chapter 669
Lemira was genuinely surprised when Evander hit Evelina.
In her past life, her brothers had treated Evelina so well, doting on her as if she were a fragile doll.
Now, Evander was actually willing to strike her.
It seemed their so-called affection came with conditions.
Lemira saw the dumbfounded look on Evelina’s face and said mockingly, “Evander, don’t hit her so hard you cause permanent damage. If word gets out, it’ll be bad for the Langston family’s reputation p>
“Hah, Evelina is just our adopted daughter. She eats our food, lives in our house, uses our money. Don’t I have the right to discipline her p>
Evander looked down at Evelina. “Isn’t that right, Eve p>
Her scalp aching, Evelina didn’t dare resist.
Seeing Lemira still watching, Evelina felt a surge of hatred. The last thing she ever wanted was to appear weak in front of Lemira.
It was worse than death.
Evelina could only answer weakly, “Evander, nothing actually happened between me and Dorian in the lounge. The video just makes it look that way. We didn’t get the chance p>
She had seen the video herself; her skirt had covered everything, making it impossible to tell what had really happened.
Hearing this, Evander’s expression improved significantly.
He looked up at Lemira. “You hear that? Eve isn’t the kind of person you think she is p>
“If you want to believe that, I can’t stop you. It’s not my reputation on the line, after all p>
Evander gritted his teeth in fury. “Lemira, you stop right there! I’m going to kill you!” Lemira heard Evander’s enraged shouts behind her but didn’t look back. It was clear he was deeply bothered by the thought of Evelina sleeping with someone else and was obsessed with her virginity.
It looked like Evelina’s days were not going to be easy.
As soon as Lemira left, Evelina breathed a sigh of relief. “Evander, don’t be fooled by Lemira’s words. She just wants to drive a wedge between us p>
Seeing that Evander’s mood was still sour, Evelina felt a flash of irritation. Did this useless man really think he had the right to be angry with her?
Once she got her hands on the investment money from the Al project, she would make every single person in the Langston family pay.
Evander patted Evelina’s cheek, his voice eerily calm. “I used to love the pure, clean you. But now that you’re no longer clean, what right do you have to be by my side?”.net
After sleeping with her yesterday, Evander felt the novelty had worn off.
Her first time hadn’t been with him, anyway.
Evelina felt a wave of panic. “Evander, that’s not what you said last night p>
What more did this pathetic simp want from her?
“If you want me to forgive you, you’ll have to please me. Once I’m happy, I’ll forgive you…therwise, you’ll be kicked out of the tangston family and you can forget about working on Asher’s Al project p>
Hearing his final threat, Evelina said through gritted teeth, “Evander, you know you’re the most important person to me. I’ll do anything to make you happy p>
She lowered her head, her voice choked with fake tears and, but her eyes flashed with disgust.
Evander pushed her down in front of his lap. “You know what to do, don’t you?” Evelina’s eyes widened in shock. How could he humiliate her like this?
Evander’s eyes were bloodshot. “You were supposed to be my princess, the one I cherished. But you were the one who didn’t respect yourself p>
He was deeply unsettled. The girl he had always adored had been defiled by another man.
The thought alone made him burn with rage.
Lemira left the Langston villa, a scornful look in her eyes as she replayed the scene of Evander hitting Evelina.
She was finally seeing the Langstons for the selfish, hypocritical people they were.
It turned out Evelina’s place in their hearts wasn’t so important after all. Lemira went straight back to her dorm.
When she walked in, the other two were still in bed. She placed the breakfast she’d bought on the table. “Time to eat p>
Oanice yawned and pulled back her curtain. “I was so excited last night I barely slept. I’m just sad I didn’t get to see that two-faced girl get beaten up in person p>
“That was for your own safety p>
