When They Beg, I Rise!

[Sweetheart Evie, you're so sensible, unlike that witch. I'll take care of her for you.]

After reading the message, Lemira responded with a calm voice, "You know Evelina. She's always been fond of playing these games."

"It's so frustrating. I told all my close friends about what happened, and I can't believe Evelina has the nerve to twist the story. I've asked my brother to get the hotel's surveillance footage. We have to make Evelina eat her words!" Lemira glanced at her computer screen. "Once we get the footage, I'll post it."

She didn't want to involve Jessica.

If Evelina was planning to pull the same stunt again, she had no one but herself to blame for the consequences.

But Lemira had a feeling Evelina wouldn't be so foolish as to openly challenge her on the internet, knowing there was evidence against her.

Soon after, Jessica told her in panic, "It's bad news. My brother just texted me saying the surveillance has been deleted."

"It seems Evelina came prepared."

Lemira had a hunch something was off, and now it was confirmed.

"What do we do now? We all know what happened at the party, and now Evelina is slandering you online. Maybe you should let Lucian clear things up. His word would carry weight."

Lemira's face twisted into a mocking smile. "My Lucian won't do that."

After all, that would put Evelina at a disadvantage.

Her biased Lucian wouldn't take that step.
