Evelina stood close to Asher. "Asher, do you see this? Lemira's never satisfied with my plans, and now she's throwing things."

Evelina quickly defended herself. "Asher, I didn't use anything too extravagant. The guests today are people of status. I thought we needed food, decor, and other things that stand out so no one disrespects the Langston family."
