Chapter 221ย Lucian never anticipated Lemita would go to such lengths. He looked up, struggling, and said, โSis, is there really no way to turn this around?โย When Evelina witnessed this scene, a part of her felt delighted. It was good news for her. She quickly put on a tearful face and said, Lemmy, weโre family, after all. If you haveโฆโย โShut up!โย Lucian directly scolded Evelina, now finding her crying face utterly irritating, thinking bringing Evelina into the family might have been a mistake.ย Lemira spoke indifferently, โBro, Iโll call you that one last time. Just sign the papers.โย She pushed the pen into Lucianโs hand, โThe Langston mansion has been nothing but purgatory to me. I canโt stand another minuteย Lucien covered his face with his hand and finally signed his name on the document.ย Lemira immediately took the papers away, as if afraid of any lastโminute changes. Only after securing what she wanted did she breathe a sigh of relief.ย She turned back, took the pen, and tossed it into the trash can, โIโve used this pen for years. Time for a new one.โย She didnโt want to leave anything she owned for the Langstons to use.ย Lemira turned and left the study, her steps brisk and determined. Without any second of hesitation, she walked out of the Langston mansion, leaving behind the place she had lived for many years.ย โLemmy!โย Lucian, almost stumbling, followed her out, holding a credit card, โLife can be tough on your own, and living in Orion isnโt cheap. Take this, itโs the least I can do for you.โย โI donโt need it. Iโm not short on cash!โย Lemira glanced at the gateโs keypad, casually picked up a brick from the ground, and smashed it.ย Lucian was stunned, not understanding Lemiraโs intention. Lemira dusted off her hands, โThis mansion was left by our parents. Using Evelinaโs birthday as the password disgusted me. Time for a new lock!โย After doing all this, she walked towards Orion.ย Lucian stared at the broken keypad, his mind in a fog.ย At that moment, the butler and Evelina also came running out. Lucian turned to the butler, โThe houseโs code has always been Lemmyโs birthday. Who gave you the right to change it?โย The butler looked guilty, โMr. Asher Langston ordered not to let Ms. Langston step foot inside, so I changed the password!โ โGreat, just great. Might as well hand over the Langston mansion to you, making such big decisions on your own!โย Lucian was fuming with anger!ย He had thought Lemira was just feeling a bit slighted and wanted to leave home in a huff. Only now did he realize that Lemira was not just slighted but had been mistreated for years.ย The butler trembled in fear, โMr. Lucian Langston, I thought since Ms. Sterling is also a Langston, it would be fitting to use her birthday as the password. I meant no harm.โย Evelina quickly pleaded, โLucian, donโt blame the butler. It wasnโt his intention. I was adopted and donโt deserve to have my birthday as the password.โย Seeing the slap mark on Evelinaโs face, Lucian softened a bit. He said in frustration, โEve, thatโs not what I meant. This mansion was left by our parents, and itโs always been Lemmyโs birthday as the code. No one has the right to change that.โย Evelina forced a grim smile, โI know, being adopted, I donโt have that right. It was the butler who overstepped. I promise it wonโt happen again.โย The butler seized the opportunity to apologize, kneeling down, โMr. Lucian Langston, I realize my mistake. I wonโt overstep my bounds again!โย โLucian, the butler has looked after everything in the house for years. Heโs old now, letโs not send him away.โย
