When They Beg, I Rise!

Chapter 234

The Langstons had a knack for winning people over with small acts of kindness. But she wouldn't be swayed, nor would she look back.

Seeing her determination, Orion knew that even if she were to live in Orvin on her own, she wouldn't be easily bullied.

On the other end of the phone, after sending a message, Lucian tried calling again. Still, no answer.

He thought that after sending those words, Lemira would at least pick up the phone, willing to hear him out for a minute! But to his surprise, Lemira didn't even pick up the call! Asher scoffed, "How's it? Is Lemira too guilty to answer the phone?"

"Asher, Lemmy's not like that. And given the circumstances, we can't just take Evelina's word for it and blame Lemmy."

"Lucian, I think you've been brainwashed by Lemira. Eve got hurt like that, and you still say Lemira's not to blame? I'm starting to think the surveillance camera was tampered with, which might be Lemira's doing." Asher had thought the surveillance footage would clear everything up. Turned out, the footage was corrupted.

Evelina coughed deliberately, "Asher, let it go. I don't want to pursue this any further."

She was secretly relieved the footage was gone. It was a stroke of luck.

She had her defense all planned out, but it turned out to be unnecessary. What if they kept digging and the surveillance data was recovered? She couldn't take that risk! Seeing Evelina's magnanimity, Asher said, "You're just too kind."
