Lucian never anticipated Lemira would go to such lengths. He looked up, struggling, and said, Sis, is there really no way to turn this around?
When Evelina witnessed this scene, a part of her felt delighted. It was good news for her. She quickly put on a tearful face and said, Lemmy, we’re family, after all. If you have… Shut up!
Lucian directly scolded Evelina, now finding her crying face utterly irritating, thinking bringing Evelina into the family might have been a mistake.
Lemira spoke indifferently, Bro, I’ll call you that one last time. Just sign the papers.
She pushed the pen into Lucian’s hand, The Langston mansion has been nothing but purgatory to me. I can’t stand another minute here.
Lucian covered his face with his hand and finally signed his name on the document.
Lemira immediately took the papers away, as if afraid of any last-minute changes. Only after securing what she wanted did she breathe a sigh of relief.
She turned back, took the pen, and tossed it into the trash can, I’ve used this pen for years. Time for a new one.
She didn’t want to leave anything she owned for the Langstons to use.
Lemira turned and left the study, her steps brisk and determined. Without any second of hesitation, she walked out of the Langston mansion, leaving behind the place she had lived for many years. Lemmy!
Lucian, almost stumbling, followed her out, holding a credit card, Life can be tough on your own, and living in Orion isn’t cheap. Take this, it’s the least I can do for you.
I don’t need it. I’m not short on cash!
Lemira glanced at the gate’s keypad, casually picked up a brick from the ground, and smashed it.
Lucian was stunned, not
understanding Lemira’s intention. Lemira dusted off her hands, This mansion was left by our parents. Using Evelina’s birthday as the password disgusted me. Time for a new lock!
After doing all this, she walked towards Orion.
Lucian stared at the broken keypad, his mind in a fog.
At that moment, the butler and Evelina also came running out. Lucian turned to the butler, The house’s code has always been Lemmy’s birthday. Who gave you the right to change it?
The butler looked guilty, Mr. Asher Langston ordered not to let Ms. Langston step foot inside, so I changed the password!
Great, just great. Might as well hand over the Langston mansion to you, making such big decisions on your own! Lucian was fuming with anger!
He had thought Lemira was just feeling a bit slighted and wanted to leave home in a huff. Only now did he realize that Lemira was not just slighted but had been mistreated for years.
The butler trembled in fear, Mr. Lucian Langston, I thought since Ms. Sterling is also a Langston, it would be fitting to use her birthday as the password. I meant no harm. Evelina quickly pleaded, Lucian, don’t blame the butler. It wasn’t his intention. I was adopted and don’t deserve to have my birthday as the password.
Seeing the slap mark on Evelina’s
face, Lucian Softened a bit. He said
in frustration, Eve, that’s not what meant. This mansion was left by our parents, and it’s always been Lemmy’s birthday as the code. No one has the right to change that.
Evelina forced a grim smile, I know, being adopted, I don’t have that right. It was the butler who overstepped. I promise it won’t happen again.
The butler seized the opportunity to apologize, kneeling down, Mr. Lucian Langston, I realize my mistake. I won’t overstep my bounds again!
Lucian, the butler has looked after everything in the house for years. He’s old now, let’s not send him away.
