Chapter 386

Asher snorted, “Exactly. I’ve already found someone. We’ll have the company’s system issues resolved in no time. There’s no shortage of talent in this world. As long as I’m willing to pay, there’s nothing that can’t be fixed.”

When Lemira heard the words “underground market,” a premature guess flashed through her mind. Could it really be such a coincidence? She probably was overthinking it. After all, the underground market was vast; it couldn’t possibly be that she just happened to take a private job for the Langston Group.

Glancing at her phone, Lemira noticed a notification for a transfer of $20,000. Leaning back, she pushed the trash can towards him: “Take it.” She wasn’t about to pick it up herself. Want it or not, that was up to him.

Asher’s tone turned colder: “Lemira, you want me to dig through the trash?”

“What else? I’m not picking it up. Whoever needs it should do the digging.”

“What kind of attitude is that? I’ve spent $20,000!”

Lemira’s gaze turned icy: “Then you might as well not want it. I can refund you the money!”

Asher was on the verge of exploding. He hadn’t expected Lemira to be so indifferent!

At that moment, Lucian walked over, bending down to retrieve the USB from the trash can. Hogan, feeling uncomfortable, tried to intervene: “Boss, let me do it.”

“It’s alright, it’s not dirty.”

Lucian picked up the USB, wiped it with a tissue, and looked at Lemira, knowing she still had the Langston family’s interests at heart. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have left behind this data. Even though it cost $20,000, it was only fair.

Lucian spoke indifferently: “Lemmy, I heard you’re quite close to Thaddeus, but do you even know who he is?”

Lemira didn’t appreciate the way Lucian looked at her. She frowned: “I just found out, but that’s between him and me, none of your business.”

Asher couldn’t help but intervene: “Lemira, you’re a Langston, raised with a silver spoon in your mouth, and now you’re someone’s mistress? How can you face our parents in heaven?”

In an instant, Lemira’s face turned cold. She stared at Asher: “Say that again?”

“Asher, can you not?” Lucian, flustered, his pale face flushed as if he might faint at any moment, tried to calm the situation. Seeing him like this, Asher backed down.

Turning around, Lucian couldn’t help but cough. Hogan, concerned, handed him some medicine: “Take some, will you?”

“No need, I won’t die.”

Lucian, suppressing his discomfort, looked up at Lemira, hoping to see concern in her expression. Unfortunately, Lemira’s face was expressionless, revealing nothing.

Lucian couldn’t hide his disappointment: “Lemmy, we only came to ask because we heard about your relationship with someone from the Draven family. We’re worried you might be at a disadvantage. The Draven family isn’t just any wealthy household.”

Even for the Langstons, reaching the Dravens’ level was a stretch.

Lemira scoffed: “Worried I’ll be a mistress and disgrace the Langston name?”

Asher coldly replied: “Glad you understand!”

“But I’ve severed ties with the Langston family long ago. I don’t need to report my actions to you!”

“Lemira, have some shame! As a girl, you think behaving like this is something to be proud of? Just for some petty shares in a small company?”

Suddenly, the door was kicked open. Orion walked in with a stern face, glaring at Asher: “Say that again, I dare you.”

Asher studied Orion’s features, his face turning pale instantly. Could he possibly be…?
