Asher was furious, his hand flew up and landed a slap across Lemira's face.

"Lemira, you got the guts to say that again?"

Lemira slapped Evelina on her face with all her might. Evelina, nearly losing her balance from the impact, wore a look of shock. She couldn't believe Lemira had actually hit her!

Covering her face which tingled with burning pain, the fake angel screamed at Lemira, "Are you crazy? You dare to hit me!"
