Chapter 713
Lemira stared at Asher, whose face looked especially grim.
“Lemira, I can apologize to you,” Asher said at last, forced now to swallow his pride.
Lemira glanced at the property division documents. “I have one more condition. This villa must be transferred to my name p>
Evander jumped in before anyone else could speak. “And why should it? This place is supposed to be Eve’s and my future home p>
A marital home? The audacity.
Lemira turned to Asher. “This is my final condition: transfer the villa to me, and the Langston Group’s new product launch must happen one month after Maple Group’s p>
“The villa can be yours, but we can’t delay the launch by that much,” Asher replied, making his decision without hesitation.
Lemira stood up. “Then there’s nothing left to discuss p>
She turned to leave, offering no room for compromise.
In the end, Asher relented. “Fine. We’ll do it your way p>
A one-month delay was still better than bankruptcy.
Evelina, however, was unwilling to let it go. She looked at Evander. “Weren’t we supposed to have this villa as our home p>
Evander protested, “Asher, I already promised Eve this villa. You can’t give it to Lemira p>
Asher’s tone turned icy. “Then you handle this mess. If you can’t, keep your mouth shut p>
Evander fell silent. How could he possibly fix this?
Asher quickly drew up a new contract, signed it, and handed it to Lemira. “Is this enough now p>
“That’s better. I’m only being this reasonable for the sake of family. If there’s a next time, it won’t be so easy,” Lemira said, signing the contract without hesitation. She wasn’t losing out on this deal.
After all, the Langston Group didn’t have much time left anyway.
When Evelina realized the villa now belonged to Lemira, she stormed upstairs in a fury. She’d thought she could walk away with a tidy sum, only for Lemira to intercept it at the last moment.
Evander grumbled and complained, but Lemira simply ignored him and went back to her room to rest.
Looking over what she’d gained, she texted Orion: Negotiations are finished.
She’d barely sent the message before her phone rang-Orion was calling.
Lemira answered, and Orion’s deep voice came through the line. “Did you get the assets your parents left you p>
“I did. I even got the Orvin villa. Evelina wanted it as her marital home, but there’s no way I’d let that happen p>
That was the part Lemira was most pleased about.
She remembered how, in her previous life, she’d been kicked out of this very villa. Evelina had taken over the master bedroom and lived life of luxury as the true heiress, while she could only envy her from the outside, like a beggar.
Now, she had finally changed all of that.
Orion’s voice was calm. “Congratulations p>
Lemira held her phone, asking, “How are things on your end? If you leave the final
decision to me, Mrs. Waverly surely won’t be happy p>
“It doesn’t matter what she thinks. She started playing dirty first. If we didn’t still need the Langston Group for now, they’d already be finished. With so much at stake who’s really. willing to compromise?” content
Wasn’t it because Mrs. Waverly couldn’t bear to lose out that she shamelessly approached the Everhart family in the first place?
Lemira chuckled. “It’s all about their own interests, but they’re so good at pretending otherwise p>
“There’s something else you should know,” Orion said. “Mrs. Amelia has also been to the dealership recently. For now, be careful and avoid secluded places p>
Lemira immediately became alert. “You think they might make a move against me?” “We can’t rule it out. The gloves are off now p>
“Good. It’s a chance to draw them out. I want to see what’s really going on between Mrs. Amelia and that mechanic p>
Lemira was more and more convinced that the car accident years ago wasn’t as simple as it seemed.
Orion disagreed. “Don’t be reckless-it could be dangerous p>
“Don’t worry, I value my life more than anyone p>
Lemira just couldn’t forget how miserably she’d died in her past life. The Langstons had raised their enemy’s daughter, and for her sake, had driven own flesh and blood
out of the and finally locked
her away in a psychiatric hospital.
