Chapter 218ย  The car pulled up outside the Langston family mansion.ย  Orion glanced over, โ€œNeed me to come with you?โ€ย  โ€œNo, I can handle it myself. Iโ€™ll call you if anything comes up.โ€ย  Seeing Orion waiting outside eased Lemiraโ€™s nerves considerably. She stepped out of the car and walked up to the door typing in the password, only to find it incorrectย  A sarcastic smile played on Lemiraโ€™s lips. She pressed the doorbell, and soon, the butler walked out.ย  Lemira let out a halfโ€“smile, โ€œWhen did the password change?โ€ย  The butler stood by the door, his expression frigid, โ€œLemira, Mr. Asher Langston has instructed that without his permission, you are not to step foot inside the Langston house! The password has been changed to Ms. Sterlingโ€™s birthday!ย  Lemira recalled a recent incident involving faulty school supplies, likely the butlerโ€™s doing.ย  In her past life, he had always sided with Evelina, spreading defamatory rumors about her to her brothers!ย  Lemira kicked the door open, โ€œThis house was bought by my parents. Iโ€™m the only one who decides if I donโ€™t want to come back. You better remember your place as a servant!โ€ย  Her tone was icy. Without another word, she strode inside.ย  The butler, surprised by Lemiraโ€™s drastic changes, hurried after her, โ€œLemira, Iโ€™m merely following Mr. Asher Langstonโ€™s orders.โ€ย  Lemira entered the foyer, while Lucian was coming down the stairs; his face lightened up the moment he saw her โ€œLemmy, youโ€™re back! 1 had the kitchen prepare some of your favorites. How about we have dinner together? Itโ€™s been a while since we last ate togetherโ€ย  โ€œNo need. Whereโ€™s my offer of admission?โ€ย  Lemiraโ€™s demeanor was cold, not showing the slightest hint of friendliness.ย  Lucian gave a pained smile, โ€œItโ€™s in the study. Come with me, Iโ€™ll get it for you.โ€ย  As they went upstairs, Lucian detoured to her old room, โ€œLemmy, your roomโ€™s been restored to how it was. Eve moved back to her room too. Let me know if thereโ€™s anything about the room you feel unsatisfied with, and I have it taken care ofย  Lemira glanced at the room she once occupied. Her expression remained neutral, โ€œItโ€™s unnecessary. I wonโ€™t be coming back anywayโ€ย  Lucian sighed, โ€œThis was the house our parents bought, your princess room they left you after all. It will always be yours; no one can take that from you.โ€ย  Lemira turned towards the study. โ€œLetโ€™s focus on what matters.โ€ She was not one to be swayed by small gestures anymore. Lucian produced an envelope, โ€œYouโ€™re amazing, getting into Orvin University. Mom and Dad wouldโ€™ve been proud if they knew.โ€ Donโ€™t use our parents as an excuse. It only makes me sick.*ย  Lemira glanced at the envelope only to find it had been opened, her expression darkened, โ€œWhy did you open my mal?โ€ โ€œLemmy, I didnโ€™t open it. I knew it was your offer of admission; it should have been your moment.โ€ย  Lemira handed the envelope to Lucian, โ€œIt clearly shows itโ€™s been opened? Are you blind?โ€ย  โ€œZack, come over here!โ€ย  Lucian, noticing the tampering, felt it weird too. He hadnโ€™t opened the envelope.ย  The butler, upon arrival, was confronted by Lucianโ€™s stem inquiry, โ€œWho else entered the study and touched this mail?โ€ย  The butler took a glance at the envelope, โ€œMr. Lucian Langston, itโ€™s just an offer from a university. As long as the contentโ€™s intact, whatโ€™s the harm?โ€ย  Lemiraโ€™s gaze turned icy, โ€œDid you open it?โ€ย  โ€œI was just curious about what was inside, so I opened.โ€ย  Lemira didnโ€™t buy the butlerโ€™s explanation for a second. It had Evelina written all over it!ย  She turned to look at Lucian, โ€œCheck the surveillance.โ€ย  She was hellโ€“bent on settling this today!ย
