Chapter 495

Lemiraโ€™s smirk was ice-cold, revealing a side of her even she didnโ€™t know existed until now. Caspian and Lucian stood by Lemira, making it crystal clear they were on her team.

Asher, pointing fingers at Caspian and Lucian, exploded, โ€œYou two turncoats, do you even remember who helped you kickstart your company? And now, youโ€™re handing over all your shares to Lemira? Have you lost your minds?โ€

Lucian managed a bitter smile. โ€œAsher, youโ€™re the one losing it. Lemira is our sister, not our enemy.โ€ He couldnโ€™t fathom why Asher was going to such extremes.

Evelina was fuming on the sidelines. How could both Caspian and Lucian side with Lemira, even going as far as transferring their shares to her? If Lemira became the companyโ€™s major shareholder, wouldnโ€™t that ruin her plans?

Evelina, frustrated, chimed in, โ€œLucian, you of all people know how much Asher has sacrificed for the Langston family. He shared his shares out of brotherly love, and now youโ€™re sidelining him. Thatโ€™s just cruel.โ€

โ€œSpare me your moral high ground,โ€ Lemira shot back at Evelina. โ€œAsher practically drained the Langston familyโ€™s finances and assets to start his venture. Itโ€™s only fair for everyone to share in the dividends.โ€

Evelinaโ€™s eyes welled up with tears. Turning to Asher, she said, โ€œIf I had shares, I would never betray you.โ€

Asher was speechless, never imagining this day would come. He glared at Lucian and Caspian. โ€œAre you sure you want to side with Lemira against me?โ€

Lucian responded, โ€œAsher, itโ€™s not about being against you. Handing the company over to Evelina instead of Lemira is nonsensical, especially since Lemiraโ€™s scripts have raked in a fortune for us.โ€

โ€œHa! Have you so quickly forgotten how Lemira had Alaric and Caspian jailed? Her heartlessness towards the Langston family, does that mean nothing to you?โ€

Asher was utterly defeated. He couldnโ€™t believe his own brothers were turning against him; all he did was for the good of the Langston family.

Caspian stepped in. โ€œAsher, are you out of your mind? The incident with Lemira, yes, I was at fault. I was the one who wanted to hurt her, and Evelina misled me. That was on me. Evelina, the real villain, misled me, and what does that have to do with Lemira?โ€

Caspian didnโ€™t hold back. โ€œIncluding the Alaric situation, it was Evelina who first stole Lemiraโ€™s work and dragged Alaric into it. Alaric wasnโ€™t innocent, but Evelina was the instigator. Lemira was the victim here!โ€

Asher, clenching his teeth, retorted, โ€œIt was all a trap set by Lemira.โ€

โ€œDid Lemira force Evelina to steal her work? No. We were in the wrong from the start!โ€

Caspian, getting closer to Asher and pointing at Evelina, said, โ€œThis woman is the root of all evil. Both incidents were caused by her.โ€

Seeing this, Evelina quickly played the victim. โ€œCaspian, I did what I did just to secure the contract for Lucianโ€™s company. And as for you assaulting Lemira, that has nothing to do with me. Youโ€™ve always been quick to throw punches.โ€

Caspian, hearing Evelinaโ€™s words, was livid. Asher pushed Caspian away. โ€œI know Evelina better than any of you. She might be a bit naive, but sheโ€™s not malicious.โ€

Hearing Asher defend Evelina, Lemira almost burst into laughter. She didnโ€™t bother explaining further, simply stating, โ€œDo whatever you want with Evelina, but when it comes to the company, you donโ€™t have a say. Evelina, youโ€™re out.โ€
