NovelEnglishLemira packed her things and left, feeling a sense of finality.
She wondered if the Waverlies would still let Asher protect Evelina once they knew the truth about the whole
mess. And how would the Waverlies handle it?
That evening, Lemira went straight back to the Langston family home.
The new butler was practically tripping over himself to be helpful, buzzing around her like a bee to honey.
Evelina stormed downstairs, catching sight of the scene, and snapped at the butler, "Where's the fruit platter |
asked for? I've been waiting forever!"
"Apologies, Miss Evelina, I've been busy attending to Ms. Lemira. I'll get right on it," the butler replied, still trying
to find his footing in the household hierarchy. He'd heard the gossip from the staff about the previous butler's
fate, so he was keen to make a good impression on Lemira. After all, she was the one with the Langston
bloodline; Evelina, no matter how favored, couldn't quite match that.
Evelina's face turned crimson with anger, and she slapped the butler. "Do you think you can look down on me
now?"
The new butler took the hit silently, retreating to the kitchen without a word.
Lemira, observing Evelina's petty display of power, spoke coolly, "Instead of picking on others, maybe you should
think about how you'll explain your kickback schto the police."
Evelina was seething.
But her father had reassured her that he'd handle everything. All she had to do was wait patiently and play the
contrite victim in front of Asher.
When dinner trolled around, Asher stumbled back to the Langston house, reeking of whiskey. Evelina doted

But Asher wasn't having it. He pointed a finger at her, his voice dripping with disdain. "Look at the mess you've
made! The Waverlies know all about it and cdown onfor not keeping my sister in line. Do you know how
embarrassing that was?"
Evelina's eyes welled up with tears. "Asher, | was scammed by the supplier too!"
"Scammed? If you weren't pocketing kickbacks, no one could scam you. This boils down to your own greed and
stupidity. Why can't you be more like Lemira? She's managed to geton Mis Amanda's good side and speak in
favor of our foundation!"

Asher had heard that Mrs. Amanda was vouching for the Langston foundation, likely due to Lemira's influence.
Evelina lost her composure. "That's because she has the Langston. name. I'm just a chauffeur's
daughter Those society womvel.ne

She felt a deep, biting sense of injustice. She had tried so hard.
Asher's face was a mask of frustration. Finally, he turned to Lemira. "With the Waverlies and Mrs. Amanda both
speaking up for us, the foundation issue is unde control. We'll just issue a statement saying the problem was due
to procurement staff taking kickbacks, which led to the expired products." Find
Lemira's gaze was icy. "So you want the procurement team to take the fall for Evelina?"
"That's never going to happen. I'll tell the police it was Evelina who made the purchases."
Asher was visibly frustrated. "What do you want this tto let Evelina off?"
