Chapter 341
Lemira’s expression was eerily calm, sending shivers down Evelina’s spine.
This was unsettlingly out of character.
After all, Lemira was never one to play by the rules. That witch definitely had something up her sleeve.
Asher, on the other hand, seemed somewhat pleased: “It’s good you’ve come to your senses now. Don’t get cocky just because you won once. If you want to make it in Orvin, you’ll ultimately need the support of us, the Langston family.”
Lemira let out a scoff: “Rely on the Langston family, for what? To starve? Your team competitions are a flop, and your Al projects
tanked.”
Asher’s face soured: “Didn’t Lucian say he’d hand over the company to you? Once you get back, quit your job at Maple Group, and tell the director it was their scheme that got the Langston Group disqualified from the bidding!”
“Mr. Asher, did you forget to brush your teeth this morning? Because you’re talking big!”
Lemira’s eyes twinkled with mockery.
Seeing Lemira’s expression, Asher was puzzled: “What’s that supposed to mean? I arranged all this for your benefit. Once you get Lucian’s company, working for the Langston family is what you should be doing. Not working with outsiders, let alone competing against our own company! Now, call the director and clarify things, then have the lawyer drop the lawsuit!”
Lemira laughed: “Who said I was dropping the lawsuit?”
Asher was taken aback, then angered: “Are you playing games with me? You agreed just now, didn’t you?”
“Did I? Don’t flatter yourself.”
“So, when you said my words made sense, wasn’t that an acknowledgment?”
Lemira replied casually: “Ah, right, I did say that. You want me to drop the lawsuit, which is impossible. But, I might consider suing just one person.”
Asher eyed her warily: “What do you mean?”
“Exactly what I said. Evelina or Alaric, pick one. I’ll only sue one, and the other gets off scot–free.”
The smile on Lemira’s face widened: “Decide amongst yourselves before the court date. Who will step up and take the fall, go to jail?”
Lemira, have you lost your mind?”
Hearing Lemira’s words, Evelina’s face turned ashen.
She knew this witch wouldn’t just comply so easily.
Forcing them to choose!
Such a vile choice!
Lemira was clearly trying to drive a wedge between her and Alaric!
Lemira tutted: “Well, I’m doing you a favor, really. One person in jail is better than two. I’m only offering this out of family loyalty. If you don’t agree, then go as a team. It might be nice for you siblings to look after each other in there.”
After dropping her bombshell, Lemira turned and walked towards the stadium.
Asher was furious: “Lemira, hold up! How can you come up with such a malicious plan!”
Choosing between siblings was like forcing them to turn on each other!
Who would willingly go to jail?
Lemira, of course, didn’t look back, her smirk evident.
Since they were such a close–knit family, they should indeed make a careful choice.
Upon entering the bustling venue, Lemira sat down and glanced at Janice: “Do you think my plan is too cruel?”
“Not at all, I think it’s brilliant! It’s high time to strip off their hypocritical facade of kinship and confront their deceitful hearts. Only when the fire burns their own feet will they know pain.”
Janice, who had overheard everything, was initially on the verge of speaking out herself.
