When They Beg, I Rise!

And what would the expressions on the faces of the Langstons be like? She was actually kind of looking forward to it! Evelina was petrified, scared so much that she plopped down on the ground, thinking it was impossible she'd been caught. She had been so careful to dodge the surveillance, how could she possibly have been filmed?

What now? This was it. She was doomed. If the Langstons took a disliking to her, her future was as good as over.

After watching the video, Asher turned to Evelina in shock, "What's this all about? Eve, what have you done?"

He couldn't believe it. Evelina had actually cheated.

And after he'd just defended her so vehemently, now with the evidence, Asher felt utterly humiliated!

Evelina, feeling guilty, couldn't even lift her head to answer.

What was she to do? If she couldn't explain herself, it was all over!

She couldn't be thrown out of the Langston mansion; she couldn't lose the princess-like status the Langstons had afforded her!

Lemira raised her voice on purpose, "Evelina cheated, isn't it obvious? Asher, are you blind or what? She cheated. Do you know what that means? Need me to enlighten you?" Asher's face turned livid, from being absolutely certain to being utterly embarrassed.
