Chapter 283  But the girl just left; given Orion’s personality, it was unlikely he’d text her so soon. So, there must be someone else involved. She needed to check with Thaddeus.  Sophia dialed Thaddeus’s number, “Mr. Draven, the girl who was in the car accident with Orie, was she the one I saw yesterday?”  “Nope, I wouldn’t be dumb enough to leave her in this hospital. That’d be like serving her up on a silver platter for you guys to find. You should be asking Orion about this, I won’t spill the beans.”  With that, Thaddeus hung up, patting his chest in relief. That was a close call!  Lemira took a cab straight back to campus. Her first order of business was to call Evelina, “Been sleeping well these past few days?”  emira? Why are you calling me?”  Lemira’s tone was breezy, “Just catching up, we’re family after all.”  “I, I have class soon, no time to catch up.”  Evelina had a bad feeling about this. If Lemira was calling to question her, she might have been more at ease. But Lemira’s tone made Evelina expressly uneasy.  Lemira chuckled, “Not coming, huh? Well, then I guess I have no choice but to release the evidence I have!”  “What evidence? You have a backup? No, if you had a backup, you would’ve used it by now.”  “School’s rooftop. Don’t stand me up.”  Lemira hung up without offering any explanations. But she was betting Evelina’s guilty conscience would ensure her appearance.  Lemira headed straight for the rooftop of the Business School building where classes were held. The door was unlocked, and the rooftop was decked out with lounge chairs and tables, a testament to the laid–back life of Business School wealthy kids.  Lemira walked at the rooftop railing, the barrier seemed low, and the wind was strong. One step forward, and she could fall.  At that moment, Evelina quietly arrived at the rooftop.  Seeing Lemira at the edge, a wild thought flashed through Evelina’s mind: if Lemira were to fall and die, there would be no one left to know about the evidence she held.  That way, she wouldn’t be cast out by the Langston family.  Once the thought took root, it grew wildly. Evelina held her breath, sneaking up on Lemira. A single push would send Lemira plummeting.  This was her only chance. Evelina didn’t want to miss it, nor did she want to relive the café incident.  Lucian’s reaction was proof enough that, with evidence in hand, the Langstons would disown her in a heartbeat!  Evelina quickly reached Lemira and pushed with all her might. But in the next moment, Lemira sidestepped.  Evelina lunged into empty air, her body hurtling past the railing. Just then, Lemira grabbed Evelina by the hair, though half of Evelina’s body was still dangling over the edge.  All Lemira had to do was let go, and Evelina would fall.  Evelina desperately clung to the railing, screaming with fright, “Lemira, don’t let go!”  Struggling for her life, Evelina was not ready to die. Lemira laughed, standing by the railing, watching Evelina struggle with a flushed face.  “Evelina, if I’m not mistaken, you just tried to push me off so no one would find out about the evidence I have, right?”  “I, I didn’t, I just wanted to say hi!” Evelina’s voice was filled with tears; she truly didn’t want to die.  Lemira patted Evelina’s face, her tone ominous, “Do you think I’d believe that?”  “But if something happens to me here, you won’t escape blame. My friends from the Business School know I came here to meet you. If I die, you’ll become a murderer!”  “Threatening me?”  Lemira let go, Evelina screamed and grabbed the railing, her feet barely touching the edge of the roof jutting out. She barely avoided falling.
