Chapter 712
Asher came straight downstairs, a file in hand.
He glanced at Evelina and Evander. “Perfect timing. I have something to discuss with both of you p>
“Asher, I have something to say as well. The doctor said Eve might have permanent scarring on her face. You need to make Lemira take full responsibility for this p>
Evelina’s face was wrapped in layers of gauze, looking utterly pitiful.
She choked out, “Asher, I still have commercials to film to promote the company. If
my face is ruined, it’s the company that’ll suffer the most p>
No matter what, she was determined not to let Lemira get away with this.
“Asher, you have to make Lemira apologize to Eve p>
Asher sat down on the sofa. “You’re right. An apology should come first p>
A glimmer of delight flashed in Evander’s eyes. He immediately instructed a staff member to call Lemira down.
Lemira had been expecting this and was already waiting. She came downstairs, glanced at Evelina-her head swaddled like a cartoon pig-and allowed herself a faint, mocking smile. “Actually, this look really suits you p>
Evelina’s eyes blazed with fury. “Do you have any idea how important a woman’s face is p>
Her entire career depended on that innocent, harmless face.
And now Lemira had nearly destroyed it!
Evander spoke sharply, “Asher just said it—you have to apologize! And you need to get down on your knees p>
Asher looked at Evander and Evelina. “I meant you two need to apologize p>
Evelina’s voice trembled with tears. “Asher, this isn’t our fault p>
“If you two don’t apologize and satisfy Lemira, then tomorrow there will be an official statement about your plagiarism. The Langston Group won’t last long, and we’ll all end up on the street p>
Evelina was so stunned by this that she couldn’t even cry.
The Langston Group couldn’t go under-what would happen to all her plans?
Evander angrily protested, “Asher, the company isn’t going to collapse that easily. I know you can figure out a way p>
Asher gave Evander a look that suggested he was hopeless.
He managed to keep his anger in check as he replied, “After offending the Everhart family, do you really think we have any future p>
“But Asher isn’t Lemmy the Everhart
heir’s girlfriend? As long as
true, there’s no
will go bankrupt p>
“Sure—if Lemira wasn’t in a feud with her own family. Isn’t that right p>
Asher set the file down in front of Lemira. “These are all the things Mom and Dad left behind. I’ve organized them and signed off you sign here, they’re yours p>
He had hoped to use these as leverage against Lemira.
But now that Lemira had the Orvin heir supporting her, he was the one forced to concede.
Evelina
what the first to understand what Asher meant, and jealousy
near
drove her mad What
did the Everhart heir see in Lemira?
She told herself she was better than Lemira in both looks and figure.
Reluctantly, Evelina spoke up. “Lemmy, we were wrong before. Please don’t be angry p>
Evander, however, refused to back down. “I’m not apologizing to her p>
Asher shot him a look. “Fine. From today, your credit card is canceled p>
“Asher, how can you do this? I have my own inheritance! You can’t just cut me off p>
“Well, after the Langston family goes bankrupt, your cards won’t work anyway. Might as well get used to it now p>
Asher’s face was stone-cold; he’d lost all patience for these two fools.
Evelina tugged at Evander’s arm-now was not the time for pride.
If the Langston family collapsed, no one would benefit.
So Evelina dragged Evander over to Lemira. “Lemmy, for the sake of family, can you
let this go just this once p>
Lemira’s lips curled into a faint smile. “No p>
Asher’s expression darkened. “Why not p>
“Because you haven’t apologized. If this is your idea of sincerity, it’s nowhere near enough p>
