Lemira had just given Evelina a piece of her mind before turning on her heel to leave.

Lucian stepped forward, concern etched on his face. "Lemmy, let us give you a ride back to college. It's late, and I don't feel comfortable with you going alone."

"No need," Lemira replied coolly. "I'll just grab a cab."

Her demeanor remained distant. Though she had agreed to a truce, forgiveness was not on the table. Once she uncovered the truth about the car accident, she intended to sever ties for good.

Without another word, Lemira hopped into a taxi and disappeared into the night.

Evelina watched her depart, her teeth clenched in frustration. "Just wait and see," she thought bitterly. "The last accident didn't finish her off, but who knows how things will turn out next time?"

Turning back to Asher, Evelina donned a mask of vulnerability. "Asher, even though I'm glad Lemmy's back, something feels off."
