It felt like swallowing poison.
Evelina nced at Lemira, her voice thick with tears, "Is it enough now?"
Lemira gave a cold chuckle as she looked at the "two-faced" girl, "I hope you won''t do something like this again, or karma wille back to bite you."<fnfc7a> Th?s chapter is updated by find?novel</fnfc7a>
This was what you''d call hoisting your own petard.
Earlier, right in front of everyone, Evelina had deliberately picked something up off the ground and forced it on Lemira.
Now the boomerang had swung back.
Mrs. Amanda watched Lemira, her tone gentle, "As long as you''re alright, that''s all that matters. Thest time we met, I could tell you were a good kid."
Asher was taken aback and asked, "Lemira, have you met Mrs. Amanda before?"
Otherwise, why would Mrs. Amanda be so protective of Lemira over just this incident?
Lemira looked over, "Last time, when I was in the hospital after Caspian''s incident, I met Mrs. Amanda there."
"Yes, and Lemira helped me out at the hospital too."
Mrs. Amanda turned to Asher, "I hope you''ll be fair with everyone. I really get along with Lemira, and if I hear she''s being mistreated in the Langston family, I''ll definitely step in."
Lemira was surprised by how much Mrs. Amanda stood up for her.
Asher was even more surprised, but he quickly replied politely, "Rest assured, Mrs. Amanda, Lemira is my only sister, and I''ll make sure she''s treated well. Everything before was just a misunderstanding; we''ve all made peace, right, Lemira?"
Lemira nodded towards Mrs. Amanda, "Thank you foring to today''s event. I''ll remember your kindness."
Mrs. Amanda patted Lemira''s hand, "We''ll head out for today. Let''s n an afternoon tea together soon. Let''s exchange contacts."
Feeling a bit overwhelmed, Lemira pulled out her phone and exchanged contact info with Mrs. Amanda.
Only then did Mrs. Amanda leave.
Mrs. Grace Draven gave Lemira an incredulous look, wondering if Mrs. Amanda wasn''t being overly kind to this girl. Something about it felt off, but she couldn''t quite put her finger on it.
After the twodies left, a figure peeked out, immediately dialing Orion''s number, "Bro, Mom''s gone."
"I saw."
Orion had just arrived, having only heard from Matthew that Mrs. Amanda was attending a charity event.
Which happened to be the event Lemira mentioned today.
Orion had rushed over, but now he hesitated to approach Lemira.
He wasn''t sure if Mrs. Amanda had revealed the truth to Lemira.
Pausing for a moment, Orion asked, "Was she bullied?"
??????
"Yeah, Dorian''s mom was really out of line, made sis-inw pick up snacks from the floor to eat. I was about to step in, but Mom beat me to it."
s
Matthew recounted the events, with a shrug, "Mom''s got that fighting spirit; I didn''t
even get a chance to step in."
Orion frowned, surprised at Mrs. Amanda''s defense of Lemira.
"Bro, Mom''s probably already charmed by her personality. You two can be together openly now."
"Shut up!"
Orion knew it wasn''t that simple. After some hesitation, he headed to the lounge.
Some things just needed to be cleared up.
Inside the lounge, it was unusually quiet.
After the twodies left, Evelina had rushed to the lounge to vomit and rinse her mouth.
Red-eyed, Evelina emerged, "Asher, what happened just now was clearly Mrs. Grace Draven''s doing, nothing to do with me."
She was nearly fuming.
"Eve, Asher knows you''ve been wronged. What do you want aspensation?"
Asher knew the real deal, but he couldn''t possibly have Mrs. Grace Draven take the fall, so Evelina had to bear the brunt.
"Asher,
Evelina''s eyes darted aroun
I organized this event, so can I handle the allocation of the donations, le like to make a good impression on Mrs. Grace Draven." s
Her pride might have taken a hit, but she wasn''t about to lose the chance at handling ?ver a hundred thousand dors in donations! s>
Lucian immediately objected, "No way! That''s not right.”
"Why not? I think it''s fine."
Asher turned to Lemira, "Eve took the fall for you; you should let her have this."
Lemira''s lips curled into a cold smile, "Get lost!"
