NovelEnglishLemira looked up to see the man standing in front to protect her, and her heart skipped a beat. Her emotions were like a roller coaster, full of ups and downs.
She noticed Orion seemed calm, as if the commotion in the dance hall had never happened. But Lemira couldn't find that calm.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtEvelina recognized Orion's voice and said, surprised, "Lemira, I can't believe you're actually with the school doctor." There was a hint of joy in Evelina's heart.
After all, her boyfriend was a Draven. And Lemira's boyfriend? Just a humble school doctor, never to match her boyfriend's status.
Lemira, blushing, hurriedly said, "Evelina, stop talking nonsense. We're just friends." She had just faced rejection. Why did Evelina have to bring it up now? "Lemira, no need to hide it. There have been rumors about you two, and then you ran away from hto live with him. Who would believe there's nothing between you?" Dorian raised his voice, "Lemira was living with another man?" A hint of smile sparkled in Evelina's eyes, "Yes, and you didn't believewhen I told you earlier." Lemira narrowed her eyes, "Do you know why Jason's grandfather lived so long?" Dorian asked, "Why? What does that have to do with what we are talking about?" "Because he never meddled in others' affairs or gossiped like a busybody." With that, Lemira then turned to Orion, "Let's go." She didn't want to stay any longer with Evelina around.
Orion's sternly cold glance swept towards Dorian, a clear warning. Dorian felt insulted by that look and pointing at Orion, he snapped, "What's with that look? Try it again, I dare you." Dorian, thriving since leaving Orvin, had never been disrespected like this. Orion ignored Dorian's outburst, exuding an arrogant air.
Dorian grabbed a bottle from the bartender and charged at Orion, "I'm going to teach you a lesson today!" Lemira turned and saw Dorian coming. She pushed Orion aside, "Watch out." At the moment, tseemed to slow down as she closed her eyes tight and braced herself for the impact from the bottle.
But the next second, she was pulled tightly against Orion, her head hitting his chest, feeling a bit pain.

Dorian lay on the ground, grimacing in pain. Evelina, startled, rushed to him, "Mr. Draven, are you alright? You're bleeding." Dorian was in too much pain to speak.
Evelina looked up at Lemira, "Do you know who
Mr. Draven is? When the Draven's seek accountability you wont be able to clear your name.
Lemira, holding her sore forehead, coldly retorted, "It was Dorian who m started it. We were just defending ourselves. But in the end, aren't you unharmed? Now, Dorian is the one seriously injured. We'll call the police and press charges." Evelina was nervous. If Dorian was seriously hurt, it could tarnish the Langstons' standing with the Dravens, jeopardizing her chances of marrying into the Draven family.
Thaddeus, unable to bear it any longer, stepped forward and said, "Dorian, are you looking for trouble?"
