Chapter 196ย And what would the expressions on the faces of the Langstons be like? She was actually kind of looking forward to it!ย Evelina was petrified, scared so much that she plopped down on the ground, thinking it was impossible sheโd been caught.ย She had been so careful to dodge the surveillance, how could she possibly have been filmed?ย What now? This was it. She was doomed. If the Langstons took a disliking to her, her future was as good as over.ย After watching the video, Asher turned to Evelina in shock, โWhatโs this all about? Eve, what have you done?โย He couldnโt believe it. Evelina had actually cheated.ย And after heโd just defended her so vehemently, now with the evidence, Asher felt utterly humiliated!ย Evelina, feeling guilty, couldnโt even lift her head to answer.ย hat was she to do? If she couldnโt explain herself, it was all over!ย She couldnโt be thrown out of the Langston mansion; she couldnโt lose the princessโlike status the Langstons had afforded her!ย Lemira raised her voice on purpose, โEvelina cheated, isnโt it obvious? Asher, are you blind or what? She cheated. Do you know what that means? Need me to enlighten you?โย Asherโs face turned livid, from being absolutely certain to being utterly embarrassed.ย Evelina took a few steps back, her face ashen. The word โcheatingโ felt like a needle piercing straight through her heart.ย It was supposed to be Lemira who was humiliated today, how had the tables turned? This wasnโt right!ย Asher felt his dignity was hurt, having believed in Evelinaโs innocence only to have the surveillance video thrown to his face.ย The lead investigator said with a mocking tone, โIs this evidence clear enough? So, we wanted to ask Evelina to explain the whole situation herself.โย Knowing he was in the wrong, Asher couldnโt say much more. How embarrassing!ย But no matter how much the lead investigator asked, Evelina remained silent.ย She didnโt dare answer! Afraid that if she did, her life would be over.ย Upon seeing this, Lemira loudly said, โEvelina, do you think by staying silent, you can escape everything? The evidence of your cheating is conclusive, and the school will definitely find out, then issue a notice to all students. According to the school rules, youโll be expelled!โย โStop it!โ Evelina covered her head, screaming out.ย She couldnโt believe she had failed at such a crucial moment. She shouldnโt have reported Lemira for cheating; then, nobody would have looked into her.ย Wait, Evelina suddenly thought of something and looked up at Lemira, โDid you report me?โย Besides Lemira, nobody else would report her for cheating. It had to be Lemira!ย Lemiraโs lips curled coldly, โWhat are you talking about? Why would I report you?โย Of course, she wouldnโt admit it now.ย Evelina, grasping at straws, cried out, โLemmy, I know youโve always disliked me, thinking I stole your family from you. But you canโt do this!โย Asher turned to Lemira, โLemira, tell the truth. Did you do this? Why would you be so cruel to your own family?โย Hearing this, Lemira scoffed, โMe, cruel? Evelina cheating wasnโt something I forced her into.โย Evelina guiltily lowered her gaze. She had to find a way out of this mess! She needed to play on the Langston familyโs soft spot for her! After all, her father had saved Lemiraโs life; he had done the Langstons a great service!โย
