Chapter 676
Mrs. Amanda nodded. “I only recently found out myself. I thought you knew p>
“My memory hasn’t been great lately. Besides, I’ve never been to Lyria, so I don’t know that family at all. I only knew their surname was Langston, but there are so many people with that name. Who would’ve thought it’d be such a coincidence p>
Mrs. Amelia’s eyes flickered with guilt as she looked at Mrs. Amanda. “Does she know Orion was also in the car that day p>
“Not yet p>
Mrs. Amanda frowned. “That’s the most difficult part. It’s why I’ve said from the beginning that the two of them can’t be together p>
It was all just her son’s wishful thinking.
Mrs. Amelia felt a flicker of joy. If that was the case, then her daughter still had a chance.
She thought for a moment and said, “But you shouldn’t feel too guilty. After the Langstons’ parents died and their company nearly went bankrupt, wasn’t it you who secretly helped them get back on their feet? They even ended up marrying into the Waverly family. They’re not as weak as you think p>
Mrs. Amanda replied, “That may be true, but ultimately, it was our responsibility p>
In her heart, however, Mrs. Amelia didn’t see it that way. It was just that family’s bad luck for being out on the road so late at night.
Mrs. Amelia was frustrated. “So you’re taking that girl Lemira’s side and won’t help Susanna? We’ve been best friends for so many years. When your husband was cheating on you and almost divorced you, I was the one who helped you save your marriage. You can’t just abandon me now p>
“How do you want me to help you p>
“Doesn’t Lemira want to be with Orion? Have Orion go and persuade her p>
Mrs. Amelia had a clever plan. This would cause a rift between Lemira and Orion. Then, once Lemira found out Orion was in the car, she would never get together with him.
It was a godsend.
Mrs. Amanda hesitated. She didn’t think it would work and felt it was better not to say anything.
But her best friend was crying and begging for her help, putting her in a terrible bind. Meanwhile, after entering her office, Lemira sneezed.
She thought about what Mrs. Amanda had said and sighed. Although Mrs. Amanda was nice to her, it all came with conditions.
But she would not drop the charges against Susanna.
Lemira joined her colleagues in the testing lab, running data and analyzing potential issues.
She looked at the Al prosthetic limb before her, which she had
specifically designed to fit Evand measurements.
She knew Asher’s team would likely be doing the same thing.
Sometimes, you only appreciate quality when you have something to compare it to.
In her past life, she had
าวนน p>
painstakingly designed an Al prosthetic for Evander When he could finally walk again, you could barely tell he had a prosthetic unless he tried to run.
But in the end, when Evelina framed her, Evander had used that same prosthetic leg to kick her.
Lemira touched her stomach, the memory of the pain still vivid.
This time, however, she was curious to see what kind of prosthetic Evelina’s team could come up with for Evander.
As Lemira stood lost in thought before the machine, a piercing alarm suddenly blared.
She saw the instrument panel flash red as black smoke began to pour out.
Lemira rushed forward, determined to save the newly made prototype. It couldn’t be destroyed. Otherwise, they would have nothing to present
aproduct symposium next
week, which would be a catastrophic failure for Maple Group.
She had to save the prototype, even if it cost her everything.
The company staff descended into chaos.
Orion had just received the news and was the first to rush to the lab, his expression
tense. “Where’s Lemira p>
“I don’t think Lemira has come out yet p>
“I saw her run in to grab the prototype p>
Orion’s face darkened, and his heart leaped into his throat.
She couldn’t be hurt.
She absolutely couldn’t be!
The man took off his jacket, held it over his nose and mouth, and plunged into the smoke-filled testing lab.
