Lemira wasn''t about to let the fake angel get away that easily!
"Wasn''t someone just making a big fuss, demanding evidence and a reckoning?"
She crossed her arms, "Now that we have the surveince footage, why the hurry to leave? Evelina, you''re not feeling guilty, are you?"
Asher snorted disdainfully, "Guilty? Eve is just too hurt and needs to go to the hospital for treatment."
"Then let''s wait for the surveince footage to be reviewed. It won''t take long anyway, and it''s not like she''s dying."
Lemira nced at Evelina, whose panicked eyes were darting around.
Evelina then feigned fainting into Asher''s arms, "Asher, I really feel terrible. I can''t hold on much longer."
"Eve, just hang in there a bit longer. Once we review the footage, I''ll make sure Lemira pays dearly!"
Evelina was as anxious as a cat on a hot tin roof, praying the surveince wouldn''t be reviewed! Otherwise, she''d be done for. She then "passed out". "Eve, are you okay?"
Asher, cradling Evelina, stood up to face Lemira, "I''m taking her to the hospital first. Once the surveince is reviewed, I''ll ensure Eve gets justice!" Lemira saw right through Evelina''s little act. She raised her voice, "Evelina, you can''t always run and hide. The surveince is right here!"
Evelina, nestled in Asher''s arms, was visibly shaking, yet dared not wake up.
"Eve doesn''t need to hide, Lemira. Just you wait!"
Asher, holding Evelina, stormed off in a huff.
Lemira, seeing how scared Evelina appeared, couldn''t help butugh, "Thought you were so capable, huh? Scared off just like that?" Orion spoke softly, "I could stop them."
Without his permission, even the police couldn''t enter this ce.
"No need," Lemira gestured dismissively.
"You''re going to pass up such a perfect opportunity to expose her?"
"It''s not about giving up. The surveince camera is broken."
Lemira had observed the camera earlier, noticing itcked the telltale infrared glow of operation. It''s a broken one.
Although she would''ve loved to use the footage to expose Evelina''s lies
and thoroughly humiliate Ashke
unfortunately, it seemed the fake angel got lucky this time.
But just because the camera was broken didn''t mean she was going to let Evelina off the hook. Pretending ignorance about the camera''s condition was a ploy to unsettle Evelina. This content ? N?v/elDr(a)m/a.Org.
The mere mention of surveince had turned her pale with fright, which was amusing in itself.
Orion also gave the camera a closer look, realizing it indeed was out of order. He hadn''t noticed earlier impressed by her attention to detail.
He nced at the police, "Even without the footage, you''ve still got rights."
"No evidence, no case. Forget it. But seeing Evelina in such a state, scared out of her wits, is satisfaction enough."
After all, Evelina hadn''t managed to hurt her. She hadn''t lost out.
Only then did Orion put an arm around her shoulders, "Let''s go."
"By the way, what brought you to Orvin suddenly?"
Lemira had been meaning to ask. But with Evelina''s presence, she hadn''t gotten the chance.
Wasn''t Orion supposed to be in Lyria, her hometown?
Orion looked slightly ufortable at her question, "Just stopping by."
"Oh right, school''s not in session yet, so you can travel. But how did you happen toe here?"
The man cleared his throat, "Thaddeus gave me a call."
Otherwise, he wouldn''t have known Lemira was here, and got stopped by his bodyguard. He almost let the cat out of the bag.
Lemira had an "aha" moment, "That exins it. Oh, I''ve got an important thing to do."
Now that Asher had whisked Evelina away to the hospital, didn''t that leave the Everhart heir himself alone?
This was her chance to make a move. At the moment, Lemira peeked outside, hearing Orion''s voice behind her, "What are you looking at?"
