Chapter 449
Lemira stared at Caspian, her eyes full of scorn. Her voice was icy, “You don’t need to explain so much to me. After all, I regret saving you now. Almost got myself in deep trouble for it.” She regretted giving her all to the Langston brothers. They weren’t worth her efforts.
Caspian’s face looked like he had been slapped, utterly disheveled. It took him a moment to find his voice: “I was under the wrong impression that you left me behind on purpose, so I bullied you all these years, treated you poorly, all because of that dreadful woman, Evelina…”
“Really? Just because of her? Did you ever trust me even a bit?”
Lemira’s gaze was steady on Caspian. If there was any trust in her, they wouldn’t have believed the words of an outsider like Evelina, right? In the end, they all believed the divisive lies of a seemingly innocent troublemaker. Such siblings were better off lost.
Caspian became anxious, “It’s not like that. I know you’re angry, but I’ll make Evelina pay for what she did.” At that moment, Caspian was torn. He had never been in such an awkward and humiliating situation in his life, his voice trembling.
Caspian lifted his hand and slapped Evelina, his tone ice-cold: “I warned you before about lying. You really thought you could fool me for so long!” He wished he could kill Evelina.
Evelina’s face swelled from the slap, and she quickly looked at Asher for help: “Asher, please, save me. I was just scared and got it wrong. But I did go back to save Caspian.” Evelina was terrified. She didn’t want to be beaten to death by Caspian, a man she considered a lunatic.
Asher quickly pulled Evelina to his side, scolding Caspian: “What are you doing? Eve was young then, it’s normal for her to misspeak.”
“Asher, you’re defending her?” Caspian was furious.
Asher’s tone was a bit unnatural: “After all, it was my fault for forgetting to tell you about Lemira saving you. If you want to blame someone, blame me.” He hadn’t thought that merely forgetting to mention that small detail would lead Caspian to hold a grudge until now.
Caspian, eyes reddening with anger: “Asher, is this just a small matter to you?” Because of this misunderstanding, he had been targeting Lemira all along! Hating her! And now he was told it was all a misunderstanding, that Lemira hadn’t abandoned him but had saved him! What did all his actions over the years amount to then? Wasn’t it all just a joke?
Chapter 44
Caspian couldn’t even bear to look at Lemira now, feeling utterly guilty. Asher too, felt a bit guilty, glancing at Evelina: “You’re also to blame. Why didn’t you clarify things?”
Evelina quickly apologized: “I’m sorry, Asher, Caspian. It was my fault for being too scared back then. After all, I had just arrived at the Langston family and didn’t dare to speak up, leading to this misunderstanding.” “Caspian, look, Eve has apologized. Let’s not dwell on it. And don’t lay hands on Eve again, lest outsiders see and make your situation worse.”
Caspian felt utterly defeated: “But all this happened because of that misunderstanding.” Otherwise, he wouldn’t have targeted Lemira, let alone raised his hand against her.
Caspian couldn’t help but glance at Lemira: “I’ll turn myself in. It’s my fault, I’ll take full responsibility.”
Lemira remained silent. She hadn’t expected Caspian’s attitude towards her to change so suddenly, all because of this incident. Perhaps in her previous life, she would have died without knowing the truth. Evelina, that poisonous flower, had everyone wrapped around her finger.
Lemira looked at Caspian: “Then you need to make it clear to the police who showed you that recorded video that incited you against me. Don’t let the instigators get away.”
