NovelApexChapter 534
Evelina was absolutely fuming as she turned to Asher, tears welling up in her eyes. "Asher, did you see what
happened? | told you Lemira knew that old lady and even encouraged her to lay a hand on me!"
Asher's expression soured the moment he laid eyes on Mrs. Amanda. He hadn't anticipated that the person who
had just gone to the lounge was none other than Mrs. Amanda. Without a second thought, he slapped Evelina
across the face. "What nonsense are you spouting? Apologize immediately!"
"Asher, that old lady attacked me! Why should | apologize?" Evelina replied, her voice trembling with indignation.
Asher was so exasperated he could hardly think straight. He seized Evelina's wrist and snapped, "I said
apologize. Now!"
Evelina was taken aback by Asher's sternness. "Asher, why are you being so harsh?" After all, she thought, it's
just an old woman. How important could she be?
Just then, Mrs. Grace Draven walked over, affectionately linking arms with Mrs. Amanda. "Mrs. Amanda, | hadn't
seen you anywhere and thought maybe this charity auction was beneath you, so you left."
Mrs. Amanda's voice dripped with sarcasm. "Oh, | just felt a bit unwell, so | took a moment in the lounge. The
Langston family's apology, though, is more than | deserve."
Asher's face blushed with embarrassment as he quickly explained, "Mrs. Amanda, | apologize. We didn't know
you'd be here today. Please forgive our shortcomings in hospitality."
Mrs. Amanda?
Evelina's mind went blank, her lips quivering. "Asher, are you saying she's the matriarch of the Everhart family?"
Asher shot a sharp look at Evelina. "Exactly. Do you realize the mess you've caused?"

Evelina almost lost her balance hearing Asher's confirmation. Nobody told her Mrs. Amanda would be here today.
What was she going to do now?
Asher hurriedly tried to smooth things over. "Mrs. Amanda, my sister here is a bit naive and too outspoken.
Please don't take it to heart."
"Your sister? | thought the Langston family only had one sister. When did another one cinto the picture?"
Mrs. Amanda's words were laced with irony.
Asher hesitated before responding, "Eve is my sister, but she's adopted."
"An adopted sister acting so high and mighty, anyone would think she's the biological one while Lemira's the
adopted one."
Lemira had heard such comments before, and it still stung hearing it now. Mrs. Amanda's stance was clearly in
favor of Lemira.
Evelina panicked, quickly trying to
explain, "Mrs. Amanda, | didn't know who you were earlier. I'm sorry if | offended you, but Lemira did make a
mistake, and we weren't bulking her or purpose." s
"Forcing Lemira to eat food picked off the floor isn't bullying? Interesting!" Mrs. Amanda picked up a cupcake
from the table and tossed it to the ground "Why don't you pick it up and eat it now," she challenged Evelina.
s
Evelina's face drained of color. How could she eat something off the floor? Desperately, she looked to Asher for
help.
Asher mumbled, "Mrs. Amanda, isn't this going a bit too far?"
"Oh, you think it's too far? Where was that concern when Lemira was the one being humiliated? Sbrother
you are."
Mrs. Amanda was so furious she
could hardly breathe. Seeing Lemira
being ese hbedon was far
ore'in uriating than any rumor
