NovelApexChapter 531
Lemira noticed the flustered look of the lady in front of her. "Yes, | am indeed part of the Langston family."
Mrs. Amanda pressed on, "Is Asher your brother?"
Reluctantly, Lemira nodded. She didn't want to admit it, but with Evelina there, she had no choice.
Mrs. Amanda found herself in a mix of laughter and disbelief. The girl Orion fancied was actually the sole survivor
of that infamous car accident all those years ago! What a twist of fate!
Lemira quickly steadied the lady. "Are you alright?"
Evelina, pouting nearby, chimed in, "Lemira, didn't | tell you to bring back the pastries we took away? | need to
entertain Mrs. Grace Draven and I've got no
tto do it myself!"
Ignoring Evelina, Lemira helped the lady up. "Lettake you to the lounge to rest for a bit."
"Lemira, are you deaf? Mrs. Grace Draven is the guest of honor today!"
Lemira dismissed Evelina with a shove, sending her sprawling to the floor. Evelina scrambled up and rushed off
to tattle to Asher. This time, Lemira was in real trouble. After all, Asher was keen on maintaining their
connections with Mrs. Grace Draven.
Meanwhile, Lemira guided Mrs. Amanda to the lounge. She quickly poured her a cup of hot tea. "Are you sure
you don't need to go to the hospital?"
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"No, really, it's just a bit of low blood sugar," Mrs. Amanda fibbed. Her mind was still reeling, unable to find calm
after the shock of encountering the family involved in that old accident. Even more astonishing was that Orion's
crush was the daughter of that family!
Lemira brought over scookies, placing them on the table. "Maybe a little snack will help."
Mrs. Amanda's eyes glistened with emotion. "Thank you, dear. What a twist of fate, indeed." She hadn't planned
to attend, but with Mrs. Grace Draven coming, she had a convenient excuse to drop by. Little did she know, the
Waverlies' prospective son-in-law was tied to that fateful accident.
Lemira offered a gentle smile. "Today's charity bake sale was a bit hastily arranged. | hope you'll overlook any
shortcomings."
"Did you organize today's event?"
"Not entirely. | just stepped in to make sfinal tweaks. It's my parents’ charity foundation, after all. I can't
have people laughing at it."
Mrs. Amanda's hand trembled slightly. "So your parents founded this? | hadn't heard of it before."
"My parents were from Lyria. They loved philanthropy. But they passed away in a car accident years ago, and the
foundation was left dormant until recently."
The mention of the accident made Mrs. Amanda feel a heavy weight in her chest.
Finally, she spoke, "After losing your parents, how have you been? | heard your brother's been good to his only
sister, even sending you to Orvin. University's Business School." s
Lemira gave a wry smile. "The one sent to Business School wasn't me. It was our
adopted sister, the daughter of the driver from the accident. You've met her."
"How could that be?"
Mrs. Amanda suddenly remembered

"That's all in the past now."
Just as Lemira finished speaking, she heard voices outside. Asher must have arrived.
She stood up. "You rest. | should get back."
As Lemira exited the lounge, she caught sight of Asher and Evelina approaching.
Evelina wasted no time. "Asher, see?
