Chapter 458

Lemira finally found only intimate photos of Evelina and Dorian Draven in the encrypted album. Nothing more. She thought for a moment, then decided to plant a virus on Evelina’s phone, to keep tabs on who the little miss perfect was contacting. Lemira shut down her laptop, realizing Evelina’s father was indeed very cautious. And a formidable opponent. But wasn’t Evelina’s dad just a country guy who came to the city to work as a driver? How did he know all this high-tech stuff? The more Lemira thought about it, the more it didn’t add up. But without any leads, she was powerless. All she could do was wait.

She didn’t believe Evelina could keep up her facade forever. Taking a moment to collect herself, Lemira wandered into the backyard to watch the ants at work. Soon, a posh lady wearing a hat and mask, looking like she was afraid of being recognized, walked by. She pulled out her phone and dialed: “Have you found out which room that girl is in?”

Mrs. Amanda thought it best to have a chat with the girl herself, curious about what kind of charm she possessed to have Orion wrapped around her finger. As Mrs. Amanda made her call, she dodged people, fearful of being spotted by the guards her son had arranged. If she was seen, she wouldn’t be able to approach the girl. But Mrs. Amanda wasn’t watching where she was going. Her high heels missed a step, and she tumbled toward the ground.

“Careful.”

Lemira, with quick reflexes, caught the lady. Mrs. Amanda, heart racing, patted her chest: “Oh my, that scared me to death, young lady, thank you.” Lemira let go, but not before accidentally brushing against her injured arm, her face paling with pain. Mrs. Amanda quickly helped Lemira to sit down: “Are you alright, dear? Do you need to get that looked at? If there are any issues later on, I’ll take care of it.”

If it wasn’t for this young lady, she might have broken a bone in the fall. Lemira shook her head: “No need, it just hurts a bit when touched.” Feeling a bit guilty, Mrs. Amanda handed Lemira a business card: “Here, take this. If you run into any trouble, feel free to contact me.” Mrs. Amanda still had to meet the girl and couldn’t afford to waste more time here, or else she’d soon be discovered by her son’s men. Lemira glanced at the business card but didn’t think much of it. After Mrs. Amanda hurriedly left, she turned back for a brief moment, feeling like she recognized the young girl.

Lemira, squatting in front of a tree, surprisingly received a call from Asher. She answered nonchalantly: “What’s up? Unless it’s about the company’s firewall, I don’t see why we need to talk.”

“Asher, did you think I wanted to call you? You know Caspian brought Evelina to apologize to you, and look at her now, beaten up like this. Can’t you soften your stance a bit? Do you really want Evelina to get killed?”

Oh, so he’s come to accuse me?

Lemira scoffed: “First off, I didn’t lay a hand on her. Secondly, I actually found it quite satisfying. Lastly, how is this any of my business!”

“Asher, don’t you have a conscience? After all, you and Eve grew up together. Are you really that heartless?”

“Spare me the moral high ground act. Did you forget I nearly died during that livestream?”

Asher was at a loss for words: “But you’re fine, aren’t you?”

“Yeah, I didn’t die, so now it’s not my turn.”

Asher sounded helpless: “Lemira, Eve’s dad was there for us when our parents died. I’m begging you, let her off the hook.”

“Are you so sure Evelina’s father is dead?”
