---

Asher was now deeply regretting ever trusting Evelina.

Evelina, visibly angry, protested, “You can’t just lock me up—this is illegal!”

“Until the whole matter is fully investigated, you’re not going anywhere. My word is final now,” Asher replied, his tone unyielding. “Evelina, if that money disappears, I’ll make you wish you were dead.”

Evelina went pale with fear.

She glanced anxiously outside. “Evander! Where’s Evander?” she called out.

Evelina could sense that things had gone terribly wrong. Her plan was supposed to be simple: the wedding would go on as scheduled, she’d quietly wrap up her affairs, and then vanish without a trace. But now, thanks to that wretched Lemira, everything was falling apart.

Nervous and desperate, Evelina dropped to her knees, clutching at Asher’s pant leg. “Asher, I didn’t mean what I just said—I was just upset by what Lemira did, that’s all.”

“You really think I’d believe you now? Do you take everyone for a fool?” Asher said coldly. He shook her off with a harsh kick, then called out to the staff outside, “Take her to the basement. She’s not to leave, and take away her phone.”

Just like that, Evelina was dragged away, still screaming Evander’s name. But Evander never showed up.

Lemira figured that whatever Evelina had said must have been a real blow to Evander. After all, Evander had always spoiled her.

Turning to Asher, Lemira remarked, “You’re not getting your money back. Did you honestly think it was in the hands of the head of PZ Group?”

Asher’s face grew thunderous. “If you’ve known about all this from the start, why didn’t you say anything? Did you enjoy watching us run around in circles?”

His anger wasn’t just for Evelina—he was just as upset with Lemira. If only Lemira had spoken up sooner, none of this would have happened.

“Seriously, Lemmy,” Lucian added, “if you knew Evelina’s father was alive, why didn’t you at least talk to the family? This whole mess is a disaster for Asher’s company.”

Lucian was genuinely surprised that Lemira had kept such a big secret. Did she not trust her family at all?

Lemira let out a laugh. “Didn’t I tell you? Do you all have selective memory or something? I literally said it last night in Mom and Dad’s room.”

Asher eagerly nodded. “That’s right—I did it because I didn’t know.”

If he had known earlier, he never would have given Evelina access to their parents’ room.

A cold smirk formed on Lemira’s lips. “Well, I didn’t know either, then.”

“Lemira, stop pretending. You knew everything. And that money means everything to the Langston Group!” Asher pressed her.

Lemira turned around and looked him straight in the eye. “Do you remember how you used to threaten me, using these very clues?”

Embarrassment flickered across Asher’s face.

Lemira’s voice dripped with sarcasm. “Bet you never imagined the tables would turn, did you?”

“So, what do you want?” Asher asked.

Lemira replied coolly, “Why don’t you apologize the same way you once made me do? Get down on your knees. Otherwise, you’ll never be able to face our parents, even in death.”
