Chapter 218ย The car pulled up outside the Langston family mansion.ย Orion glanced over, โNeed me to come with you?โย โNo, I can handle it myself. Iโll call you if anything comes up.โย Seeing Orion waiting outside eased Lemiraโs 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 Lemiraโs lips. She pressed the doorbell, and soon, the butler walked out.ย Lemira let out a halfโsmile, โWhen did the password change?โย The butler stood by the door, his expression frigid, โLemira, 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. Sterlingโs birthday!ย Lemira recalled a recent incident involving faulty school supplies, likely the butlerโs 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, โThis house was bought by my parents. Iโm the only one who decides if I donโt want to come back. You better remember your place as a servant!โย Her tone was icy. Without another word, she strode inside.ย The butler, surprised by Lemiraโs drastic changes, hurried after her, โLemira, Iโm merely following Mr. Asher Langstonโs orders.โย Lemira entered the foyer, while Lucian was coming down the stairs; his face lightened up the moment he saw her โLemmy, youโre back! 1 had the kitchen prepare some of your favorites. How about we have dinner together? Itโs been a while since we last ate togetherโย โNo need. Whereโs my offer of admission?โย Lemiraโs demeanor was cold, not showing the slightest hint of friendliness.ย Lucian gave a pained smile, โItโs in the study. Come with me, Iโll get it for you.โย As they went upstairs, Lucian detoured to her old room, โLemmy, your roomโs been restored to how it was. Eve moved back to her room too. Let me know if thereโs 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, โItโs unnecessary. I wonโt be coming back anywayโย Lucian sighed, โThis 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.โย Lemira turned towards the study. โLetโs focus on what matters.โ She was not one to be swayed by small gestures anymore. Lucian produced an envelope, โYouโre amazing, getting into Orvin University. Mom and Dad wouldโve been proud if they knew.โ Donโt 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, โWhy did you open my mal?โ โLemmy, I didnโt open it. I knew it was your offer of admission; it should have been your moment.โย Lemira handed the envelope to Lucian, โIt clearly shows itโs been opened? Are you blind?โย โZack, come over here!โย Lucian, noticing the tampering, felt it weird too. He hadnโt opened the envelope.ย The butler, upon arrival, was confronted by Lucianโs stem inquiry, โWho else entered the study and touched this mail?โย The butler took a glance at the envelope, โMr. Lucian Langston, itโs just an offer from a university. As long as the contentโs intact, whatโs the harm?โย Lemiraโs gaze turned icy, โDid you open it?โย โI was just curious about what was inside, so I opened.โย Lemira didnโt buy the butlerโs explanation for a second. It had Evelina written all over it!ย She turned to look at Lucian, โCheck the surveillance.โย She was hellโbent on settling this today!ย
