NovelApexChapter 537
Lemira watched as Mrs. Grace Draven pushed Evelina aside, a glint of mockery in her eyes. Did that "two-faced"
girl really think playing the pity card would work on these high-society ladies?
Asher turned to Evelina and said, "Hey, cover here and help us take sphotos." Having upset Mrs.
Amanda and Mrs. Grace Draven earlier, Evelina figured it was best to keep her distance and avoid further
trouble.
Seeing Asher not standing up for her, Evelina's resentment towards the Langston family grew. Of course, she
wasn't their biological daughter, so they felt they could treat her however they pleased. If it were Lemira, things
would surely be different.
Evelina clenched the camera in her hand tightly, watching Asher walk over to stand beside Lemira. It was clear
he was siding with that viper, Lemira. Today was supposed to be her event, her tto shine, but Lemira had
stolen the spotlight.
"Evelina, you'd better be smart about this. If you offend the Everhart family and drag us down, Asher might just
kick you out," Lucian warned, his words carrying a hint of threat.
Swallowing her anger, Evelina went over to take the photos. Once the group picture was taken, the event
wrapped up. Mrs. Amanda was still surrounded by a crowd, all eager to curry favor with her.
Noticing Mrs. Amanda's reluctance to deal with so many people, Lemira approached her, saying, "Mrs. Amanda,
why don't | take you to the lounge for a little break?"
"That sounds lovely," Mrs. Amanda replied, grateful for the rescue.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtLemira led Mrs. Amanda and Mrs. Grace Draven to the lounge, having thoughtfully arranged for Mrs. Grace
Draven's favorite brand of pastries to be placed on the table. The Langston family followed them inside.
Mrs. Grace Draven took a bite of the pastry and commented, "The Langston family's true lady, Lemira, certainly
knows her manners, unlike swho were merely adopted and lack any sense of decorum."
Evelina, standing beside Asher, felt her face flush with embarrassment. Asher quickly said, "I apologize on Eve's
behalf for her oversight earlier. We hope she can apologize to both of you properly."
Evelina stepped forward, eager to make amends and restore her image. Mrs. Amanda's tone was frosty, "You
should apologize to Lemira, not us. Surely you remember how you treated her earlier?"
Instinctively, Evelina glanced at Mrs. Grace Draven, knowing she hadn't been alone in slighting Lemira. Mrs.
Grace Draven hurried to clarify, "I was merely testing the Langston family, not intentionally making things
difficult for Ms. Lemira. Who would have thought the Langstons would actually push Lemira to such an extent?
I've never seen a family like it." s
Realizing Mrs. Amanda was firmly in Lemira's corner, Mrs. Grace Draven quickly distanced herself from the
situation. When Evelina tried to defend herself, Asher stopped her.
"Eve," Asher said, "Mrs. Grace Draven is right. You shouldn't have acted like that. You owe Lemira an apology."
Asher could see Mrs. Amanda was keen on defending Lemira, and he couldn't afford to offend her.
Evelina, however, was reluctant. Mrs. Amanda threw the pastries on the floor, "Sas before, pick them up
and eat, and this will be settled."
Evelina's eyes welled with tears of anger, "But it's not entirely my fault." Why was she being singled out?
Mrs. Grace Draven chuckled coldly, "Oh, my. Don't tellthe Waverlies aren't aware of the Langstons' behavior.
It's quite embarrassing to be associated with such conduct."
