When Lemira pulled out her phone, the room fell silent.

Evelina shivered, turning to Asher. "Asher, I think I need to lie down. I can't stay here and look at that disgusting butler."

"Hold on a sec," Asher replied.

Caspian stepped in front of Evelina, blocking her path. "Weren't you just so confident? Now you're trying to run away?"

Moments ago, she seemed so sure of Lemira's guilt, and now a video shows up, and she's bolting?

Evelina's eyes darted around nervously. "The truth is clear as day. I'm the victim here. Lemira's the one who walks away without a scratch, isn't she?"

Why are they still on her case?

Lemira tapped play on the video. The lighting was dim, but it was clear enough: Zack was pinning Evelina down.

Asher looked away, uncomfortable. "Turn the volume up."

This wasn't something Asher wanted to watch.

Soon, Zack's slurred words filled the room. "You think being Ms. Lemira means squat? I still had my way with you. Cross Ms. Evelina, and she'll make sure you suffer too."

Lucian's hand flew out, slapping Evelina across the face. "What do you have to say for yourself? How could you be so cruel?"
