Lemira glanced up, catching Asher’s eye. You used to say that the ties I picked out for you were the best. Every time you had a big contract meeting, you’d ask me to pick a new one for you to wear.
Asher shifted uncomfortably. And what about it?
Was Lemira playing the sentiment card? If she could just play nice, perhaps he could overlook her mistake this time.
But in a swift move, Lemira yanked the tie from his neck. This one’s from me, right?
She tossed it into the trash can without looking back.
What are you doing? Asher’s voice rose in anger.
Lemira slapped him, leaving Asher stunned.
There, we’re even now. I’m not going to fuss over you handing my belongings and my room over to Evelina.
Her voice was melancholy. As for the tie, I’ll buy you a new one. That one’s old anyway.
Asher was speechless. Lemira continued, Now that we’ve cleared the air about the past, let’s head out. We wouldn’t want people to think the Langstons are having a family feud.
Lemira took Asher’s arm. Let’s go.
Evelina panicked. Asher!
He glanced at her, guilt flitting across his face. I know what you’re going to say, but Lemira is a Langston, after all. Making a scene isn’t good for anyone in the family.
Reconciling with Lemira seemed the only beneficial option for him. Otherwise, today it was a united front against him in the entertainment company; tomorrow, it might be interference in the Langston Group operations.
Evelina was in turmoil. How could Asher forgive Lemira so easily? If Lemira was back in the Langston fold, what would become of her?
Evelina quickly said, Asher, they were just trying to kick you out of the company!
Lemira let out a laugh. That was a joke. After all, the company belongs to Caspian, and I’m here to back him up.
Evelina seethed. That liar.
Evelina also took Asher’s arm. I’ll come out with you, too.
She couldn’t let Lemira take Asher from her.
Lemira’s smile was tinged with irony. I don’t mind. After all, I’ve had some time to think things over.
Asher nodded, pleased. It’s good that you’ve come around, Lemira. Remember, you’re a Langston.
The sarcasm in Lemira’s smile deepened.
She hadn’t forgotten.
Her return to the Langstons was to uncover the truth behind that car accident years ago and to seek justice for her parents against Evelina’s father.
Lemira followed Asher out.
Caspian turned to Lucian. Lucian, don’t you think Lemira’s change of heart was
too sudden? Could there be another reason?
Lemira’s behavior was indeed odd and rather abrupt.
Lucian replied calmly, Whatever Lemmy’s reasons are, as long as she’s willing to return to the Langstons, that’s all that matters.
Caspian looked at Alaric, We’ve
finally got Lemira to agree not to pursue our past misdeeds. No matter what happens, we have to
support Lemira and not be fooled by Evelina, okay?
Alaric nodded. I understand.
Recently, Evelina had been distant and cold, a stark contrast to her previous demeanor. It was clear she saw o further use for him, revealing her true colors.
Alaric had come to realize the extent of Evelina’s deceit and how it had affected his relationship with Lemira.
At the party outside, when Lemira
and Asher appeared arm in arm et
indeed shocked many, especially since the Langston family’s quarrel had been public.
Asher broke the silence. Sorry to have you all witness our family dispute. It’s all resolved now.
Someone asked pointedly, So, who actually wrote that script?
Lemira spoke up, Well, of course, it was me. Right, Asher?
Asher knew Lemira’s temper all too well. Siding with Evelina now could only invite disaster.
Finally, he nodded. Yes, I’ve clarified the matter. The script was indeed Lemira’s solo work. I was mistaken before.
Evelina’s eyes reddened with anger upon hearing Asher’s words.
