Chapter 171ย  Lemira looked up to see the man standing in front to protect her, and her heart skipped a beat. Her emotions were like a roller coaster, full of ups and downs.ย  She noticed Orion seemed calm, as if the commotion in the dance hall had never happened. But Lemira couldnโ€™t find that calm.ย  Evelina recognized Orionโ€™s voice and said, surprised, โ€œLemira, I canโ€™t believe youโ€™re actually with the school doctor.โ€ย  There was a hint of joy in Evelinaโ€™s heart.ย  After all, her boyfriend was a Draven. And Lemiraโ€™s boyfriend? Just a humble school doctor, never to match her boyfriendโ€™s status.ย  Lemira, blushing, hurriedly said, โ€œEvelina, stop talking nonsense. Weโ€™re just friends.โ€ย  She had just faced rejection. Why did Evelina have to bring it up now?ย  emira, no need to hide it. There have been rumors about you two, and then you ran away from home to live with him. Who would believe thereโ€™s nothing between you?โ€ย  Dorian raised his voice, โ€œLemira was living with another man?โ€ย  A hint of smile sparkled in Evelinaโ€™s eyes, โ€œYes, and you didnโ€™t believe me when I told you earlier.โ€ย  Lemira narrowed her eyes, โ€œDo you know why Jasonโ€™s grandfather lived so long?โ€ย  Dorian asked, โ€œWhy? What does that have to do with what we are talking about?โ€ย  โ€œBecause he never meddled in othersโ€˜ affairs or gossiped like a busybody.โ€ย  With that, Lemira then turned to Orion, โ€œLetโ€™s go.โ€ She didnโ€™t want to stay any longer with Evelina around.ย  Orionโ€™s sternly cold glance swept towards Dorian, a clear warning. Dorian felt insulted by that look and pointing at Orion, he snapped, โ€œWhatโ€™s with that look? Try it again, I dare you.โ€ย  Dorian, thriving since leaving Orvin, had never been disrespected like this. Orion ignored Dorianโ€™s outburst, exuding an arrogant air. Dorian grabbed a bottle from the bartender and charged at Orion, โ€œIโ€™m going to teach you a lesson today!โ€ย  Lemira turned and saw Dorian coming. She pushed Orion aside, โ€œWatch out.โ€ย  At the moment, time seemed to slow down as she closed her eyes tight and braced herself for the impact from the bottle.ย  But the next second, she was pulled tightly against Orion, her head hitting his chest, feeling a bit pain.ย  Orion kicked Dorian away fiercely. His face was grim, his eyes icy cold. If not for his quick reaction, Lemira would have been hurt. Dorian lay on the ground, grimacing in pain. Evelina, startled, rushed to him, โ€œMr. Draven, are you alright? Youโ€™re bleeding.โ€ย  Dorian was in too much pain to speak.ย  Evelina looked up at Lemira, โ€œDo you know who Mr. Draven is? When the Dravens seek accountability, you wonโ€™t be able to clear your name.โ€ย  Lemira, holding her sore forehead, coldly retorted, โ€œIt was Dorian who started it. We were just defending ourselves.โ€ย  โ€œBut in the end, arenโ€™t you unharmed? Now, Dorian is the one seriously injured. Weโ€™ll call the police and press charges.โ€ย  Evelina was nervous. If Dorian was seriously hurt, it could tarnish the Langstonsโ€˜ standing with the Dravens, jeopardizing her chances of marrying into the Draven family.ย  Thaddeus, unable to bear it any longer, stepped forward and said, โ€œDorian, are you looking for trouble?โ€ย  Chapter 172ย  Chapter 172ย
