Listen to this chapter:

Chapter 221ย  Lucian never anticipated Lemita would go to such lengths. He looked up, struggling, and said, โ€œSis, is there really no way to turn this around?โ€ย  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, weโ€™re family, after all. If you haveโ€ฆโ€ย  โ€œShut up!โ€ย  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, โ€œBro, Iโ€™ll call you that one last time. Just sign the papers.โ€ย  She pushed the pen into Lucianโ€™s hand, โ€œThe Langston mansion has been nothing but purgatory to me. I canโ€™t 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 lastโ€“minute 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, โ€œIโ€™ve used this pen for years. Time for a new one.โ€ย  She didnโ€™t 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  โ€œLemmy!โ€ย  Lucian, almost stumbling, followed her out, holding a credit card, โ€œLife can be tough on your own, and living in Orion isnโ€™t cheap. Take this, itโ€™s the least I can do for you.โ€ย  โ€œI donโ€™t need it. Iโ€™m not short on cash!โ€ย  Lemira glanced at the gateโ€™s keypad, casually picked up a brick from the ground, and smashed it.ย  Lucian was stunned, not understanding Lemiraโ€™s intention. Lemira dusted off her hands, โ€œThis mansion was left by our parents. Using Evelinaโ€™s birthday as the password disgusted me. Time for a new lock!โ€ย  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, โ€œThe houseโ€™s code has always been Lemmyโ€™s birthday. Who gave you the right to change it?โ€ย  The butler looked guilty, โ€œMr. Asher Langston ordered not to let Ms. Langston step foot inside, so I changed the password!โ€ โ€œGreat, just great. Might as well hand over the Langston mansion to you, making such big decisions on your own!โ€ย  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, โ€œMr. 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.โ€ย  Evelina quickly pleaded, โ€œLucian, donโ€™t blame the butler. It wasnโ€™t his intention. I was adopted and donโ€™t deserve to have my birthday as the password.โ€ย  Seeing the slap mark on Evelinaโ€™s face, Lucian softened a bit. He said in frustration, โ€œEve, thatโ€™s not what I meant. This mansion was left by our parents, and itโ€™s always been Lemmyโ€™s birthday as the code. No one has the right to change that.โ€ย  Evelina forced a grim smile, โ€œI know, being adopted, I donโ€™t have that right. It was the butler who overstepped. I promise it wonโ€™t happen again.โ€ย  The butler seized the opportunity to apologize, kneeling down, โ€œMr. Lucian Langston, I realize my mistake. I wonโ€™t overstep my bounds again!โ€ย  โ€œLucian, the butler has looked after everything in the house for years. Heโ€™s old now, letโ€™s not send him away.โ€ย
