Lemira packed her things and left, feeling a sense of finality.

She wondered if the Waverlies would still let Asher protect Evelina once they knew the truth about the whole mess. And how would the Waverlies handle it?

That evening, Lemira went straight back to the Langston family home.

The new butler was practically tripping over himself to be helpful, buzzing around her like a bee to honey.

Evelina stormed downstairs, catching sight of the scene, and snapped at the butler, "Where's the fruit platter I asked for? I've been waiting forever!"

"Apologies, Miss Evelina, I've been busy attending to Ms. Lemira. I'll get right on it," the butler replied, still trying to find his footing in the household hierarchy. He'd heard the gossip from the staff about the previous butler's fate, so he was keen to make a good impression on Lemira. After all, she was the one with the Langston bloodline; Evelina, no matter how favored, couldn't quite match that.

Evelina's face turned crimson with anger, and she slapped the butler. "Do you think you can look down on me now?"

The new butler took the hit silently, retreating to the kitchen without a word.

Lemira, observing Evelina's petty display of power, spoke coolly, "Instead of picking on others, maybe you should think about how you'll explain your kickback scheme to the police."

Evelina was seething.
