Chapter 230ย  โ€œThatโ€™s right. Scared now, huh? Better ditch that pretty boy and come apologize to Eve!โ€ย  โ€œApologize? In your dreams!โ€ย  Lemira wasnโ€™t intimidated in the slightest.ย  Before long, the cops showed up. Evelina immediately played the victim, โ€œOh, the pain.โ€ย  Asher pointed at Lemira, โ€œSheโ€™s the one who hurt my sister.โ€ย  Since Lemira refused to admit her mistake and apologized, then let the police teach her a lesson, save her from bigger trouble down the line!ย  Evelinaโ€™s eyes gleamed with triumph, ready to see Lemira taken away by the police, preferably with a record. That way, Lemira would Anever outdo her.ย  Evelina said hypocritically, โ€œLemira, I wouldโ€™ve forgiven you if you just apologized. But since you refuse to admit your mistake, my hands are tied.โ€ย  โ€œEve, youโ€™re just too kind. Lemira doesnโ€™t deserve your grace.โ€ย  โ€œAsher, weโ€™re family after all. We canโ€™t just watch Lemira go down the wrong path!โ€ย  Evelina put on a facade of tolerance and innocence.ย  After hearing the conversation, the officer coldly turned to Lemira, โ€œMaโ€™am, youโ€™re suspected of attempted assault. Please come with us for further investigation.โ€ย  Orionโ€™s expression turned icy, โ€œIโ€™d like to see who would try to touch her!โ€ย  Sarcasm was written all over Asherโ€™s face, โ€œPretty boy, this is Orvin. Get your facts straight!โ€ย  Orion looked unbothered, โ€œSo what?โ€ย  Lemira held his hand, and then turned to the officers, โ€œThere was indeed an assault here, but the culprit isnโ€™t me. Itโ€™s her!โ€ย  Lemira pointed at Evelina.ย  Guilt crept over Evelina instantly, โ€œWโ€“What are you talking about? You canโ€™t just shift the blame to avoid taking the responsibility.โ€ No one saw what happened anyway, and nobody would believe Lemiraโ€™s word over hers!ย  Asher laughed exasperatedly, โ€œSo, this is your confidence, Lemira? Accusing Eve of harming you?โ€ย  Evelinaโ€™s eyes welled up with tears, โ€œEven though I didnโ€™t want to hold you accountable, Lemira, youโ€™ve crossed the line.โ€ โ€œIsnโ€™t it you whoโ€™s gone too far? You initiated the fight and then accidentally fell down the stairs. Now youโ€™re playing the victim!โ€ Evelina, feeling guilty, remained silent with her head down.ย  Asher angrily retorted, โ€œLemira, youโ€™re a huge disappointment, denying your actions to the very end!โ€ย  โ€œWhy should I admit to something I didnโ€™t do? Do you have proof?โ€ย  Asher questioned, โ€œDo you have proof that Eve hit you first?โ€ย  โ€œI do.โ€ย  Lemira chuckled, moving aside to point at the wall, โ€œLook, thereโ€™s a camera in the hallway, which can squarely record the view of the staircase.โ€ย  Evelinaโ€™s face turned ghostly pale at the sight of the camera! Why was there a camera? Stairwells usually didnโ€™t have cameras, whatโ€™s going on?ย  If they checked the footage, it was all over! Panicked, Evelina realized Lucianโ€™s attitude towards her had already changed. Losing Asherโ€™s trust would be the end of her.ย  Lemiraโ€™s gaze was icy, โ€œOnce they check the footage, the truth will out.โ€ย  Orion stood by, impressed by Lemiraโ€™s confidence. Turned out she had been prepared!ย  โ€œAsher, let it go. Itโ€™s all my fault. I got hurt, but weโ€™re family. We shouldnโ€™t waste police resources over this!โ€ย  Seeing the tide turn, Evelina quickly grabbed Asherโ€™s hand, visibly shaken, โ€œI suddenly feel dizzy and nauseous, Asher, take me to the hospital.โ€ย  Lemira smirked, โ€œStop, wanna run away, huh?โ€ย  No escape this time!ย  เฝ“เผ‹เผย
