Chapter 457
Lemira’s tone dripped with sarcasm.
Evelina was seething with anger, silently vowing that once she got her hands on everything the Langston family owned, she would make this wretched woman beg for mercy.
She swore it!
Caspian slapped Evelina on the head: “What are you staring at? Apologize!”
Evelina, biting back the pain, said, “Lemmy, it was all my fault back then. I spoke out of turn, and that’s why Caspian has held a grudge against you for all these years.”
Lemira almost laughed upon hearing this.
Only then did Caspian turn to Lemira, his voice a bit stiff: “You heard her. I was deceived by her, which led to the misunderstanding and my harsh treatment of you.”
“Oh.”
Lemira responded indifferently: “Are you done? Because if so, I’m leaving.”
As she turned to go, Caspian’s voice stopped her: “Lemira, it was all a misunderstanding. Can’t you forgive and forget?”
Forgive and forget?
Lemira turned back: “And you think a few light apologies can make up for everything I’ve been through?”
Caspian’s face turned a shade of thunder: “Lemira, whatever you went through, I’ll make sure Evelina goes through it too. Is that enough for you?”
Lemira glanced at Evelina, whose face had turned pale with fear, and replied, “How does that even begin to make things right?”
Evelina, in pain, wondered if this was not enough for Lemira. Did she really want her dead?
Caspian moved to say more but was blocked by Debby from TG Group: “Mr. Langston, please, enough.”
“And you think you can stop me?”
“Mr. Langston, your agent begged us at TG to handle this violent incident. Unfortunately, we’ve taken Ms. Langston’s side on this.”
Caspian was furious, feeling belittled.
Lemira entered the elevator, casting a last mocking glance at Evelina.
She was curious to see how much more Evelina could endure.
Recently, Evelina hadn’t been seen with that middle–aged man anymore.
Back in her hospital room, Debby said, “Ms. Langston, they’ll try everything to soften your heart so you won’t pursue any charges.”
“I know.”
Lemira knew the Langstons too well and understood Caspian’s intentions.
But she wouldn’t agree so easily, nor did she want to let Evelina off the hook.
After Debby left, Lemira turned on her laptop.
Her slender fingers flew over the keyboard, hacking into Evelina’s phone.
After the day’s events, Evelina might contact her father.

Chapter 45
Lemira found a conversation on the phone. It was simple but telling.
Evelina’s father had instructed her to feign vulnerability to gain Asher’s sympathy, aiming to drain the Langston family dry.
So that was Evelina’s game.
Lemira remembered in her past life, she had caught Evelina lying and falsifying medical records, even leaking evidence against Asher’s company,
But back then, her brothers didn’t believe her.
She ended up thrown out of the house and died miserably in a mental institution.
She never found out if the Langston family was eventually ruined by Evelina.
Thinking about it, Evelina couldn’t have done it alone. Her father must have been behind it.
Lemira checked Evelina’s phone again but found nothing beyond that conversation.
The number was a burner, untraceable.
