NovelApexAsher was fuming. "What's your attitude about this?"
Lemira, catching the edge in Asher's voice, retorted, "And what exactly did she endure on my behalf?"
"You were the one who offended Mrs. Grace Draven earlier. Just because Mrs. Amanda has your back, don't think
you can deny what happened."
"You think I'm like Evelina, abandoning a sick Mrs. Amanda to cozy up to Mrs. Grace Draven, don't you?" Lemira's
voice was sharp as a knife. "If that's the case, you've just made enemies with the Everhart family. How do you
plan to keep your place in Orvin?"
Lucian chimed in, standing by Lemira. "Lemmy's right. We owe her today.
Evelina's just a walking disaster, causing trouble wherever she goes. She got what she deserved!"
Asher glanced at Evelina, her face full of indignation, and spoke coolly, "This is how it's going to be."
"I said no!" Lemira remained firm.
Asher stared her down. "It's not up to you to agree or not. The foundation hasn't been transferred to you yet. Just
this once, Eve will handle it. After that, you call the shots, alright?"
Evelina's lips curled into a sly smirk. She wasn't about to let go of such an opportunity.
Lucian sided with Lemira. "Asher, isn't this favoritism?"
"You all call it favoritism, but I'm just being fair! The foundation's still my responsibility!"

Asher couldn't stand Lemira's boldness and wanted to curb her defiance.
The door to the lounge swung open. Orion walked in, his face a mask of calm, having overheard the heated
exchange. He went straight to Lemira, taking her hand with a steady grip. Lemira was taken aback by his sudden
appearance.
Orion turned to Asher, his gaze unwavering. "Your version of fairness means Lemira has to back down and lose
out. Seems like your hand's a little off balance, favoring one side. Just as expected from the Waverlies' son-in-
law!"
Lemira was stunned, the words leaving a sharp sting in their wake. Asher's face turned a furious shade at the
mention of son-in-law, a sore spot he fiercely protected. "Say that again if you dare!" s
His whole life, he had prided himself on his strength, especially in front of family, maintaining his patriarchal
demeanor. The mention of being a son-in-law was a deeply buried secret, now dragged into the light by this
audacious outsider, leaving him feeling utterly humiliated s
Lemira stepped protectively in front of Orion. "Tomorrow, I'll draft the papers to transfer the foundation to my
name."
"In your dreams."
"If you don't cooperate, that video of Evelina and Zack's, well, encounter will hit the internet." Lemira's words
were laced with venom, pinning Asher and Evelina in a vice grip.
Asher snapped back to reality, stifling his rage. "Fine, but Eve will still handle the subsequent charity events."
Lemira responded icily, "I'll be keeping a close eye, just to ensure no funny business occurs and no sudden influx
of cash appears in personal accounts."
"I won't, | promise. You can check my

"Asher, stay out of my life!" Lemira defended Orion fiercely, unwilling to let Asher belittle him.
Orion remained unfazed, squeezing Lemira's hand reassuringly. Asher clearly hadn't realized who he was dealing
with.
Orion met Asher's gaze. "Do you think everyone is like you, looking to climb the social ladder through women?"
