Lemira glanced at Evelina with a cold intensity. "You better get your act together. Do you really think Asher will tolerate your nonsense a second time?"

Evelina let out a derisive snort. "You're just jealous because Asher has been kind to me. That's why you're back at the Langston estate, trying to take what's mine."

"Yours?" Lemira's eyes darkened. "Everything you have was originally mine. I'm the rightful Ms. Langston. You only pick up what I leave behind."

Evelina was instantly infuriated. "We'll see who regrets it in the end."

"Bring it on," Lemira retorted, her voice low and icy. "I'm not the pushover I used to be. I'm going to reclaim what's rightfully mine and kick you out of the Langston estate!"
