WantNovelChapter 532
Asher's expression was tense. "Lemira, we absolutely cannot afford to upset Mrs. Grace Draven."
"lI understand, but someone's health was at stake, and that's important too. | asked Evelina to handle the dessert
delivery herself."
"Lemmy, you toldto stay out of this event. Besides, no one listens toanyway." Evelina chimed in, her
voice dripping with exaggerated concern. "Asher, | was just thinking of the family's reputation. But Lemira, she's
putting a nobody ahead of Mrs. Draven. It's like trading a gourmet meal for fast food."
Asher frowned, turning to Lemira. "You made the wrong call this time, Lemira. Eve's right; Mrs. Grace Draven is
not someone we can afford to offend. Go deliver those desserts immediately."
"Okay," Lemira replied, not wanting to escalate things further. After all, the Aurora Trust was a legacy her parents
had built.
Lemira turned on her heel and left, with Evelina smirking triumphantly behind her. Evelina relished the thought
of Lemira having to navigate this situation.
Asher paused for a moment. "Who's in the lounge?"
Evelina dismissed it with a wave. "It doesn't matter, Asher. There's nothing significant going on. Let's get back
out there; Mrs. Grace Draven is waiting."
She pulled Asher away, dismissing the woman in the lounge as inconsequential compared to Mrs. Draven.
Inside the lounge, Mrs. Amanda stood by the door, having overheard the conversation outside. She could tell
from the Langstons' tone that Lemira wasn't being treated fairly.

Mrs. Amanda was shocked to realize Lemira was the girl from all those years ago.
Unable to contain herself, she called her son, Orion, who picked up quickly. "Son, | have to ask you something.
Do you know who Lemira is?"
Orion fell silent at the question.
After a moment, he replied quietly, "She's the girl | care about."
Mrs. Amanda was taken aback. "Don't lie to me. You know the truth, don't you?" Orion's voice was steady. "It
doesn't matter."
"How can you say that? Of all people, why her? You two can't be together unless she turns her back on her
family!"
Mrs. Amanda felt sure Lemira was unaware of the full story, and knowing Orion, he hadn't told her the truth.
Her voice quivered, "Lemira is a good girl. You're going to hurt her."
"I'll protect her," Orion insisted.
"You can't. You don't understand how a girl's mind works."
After hanging up, Mrs. Amanda covered her face with her hands, overcwith emotion. Everything in her life
had gone smoothly, even her stepson was exemplary. But she had made one grave mistake, and now the
consequences were coming hto roost. s
Thinking of how Lemira had been so unfairly treated growing up, even hospitalized by her brother, made Mrs.
Amanda's heart ache.
Life, she thought, has a cruel sense of humor.
Outside, the charity auction was about to begin.
Lemira went around distributing desserts to everyone. But when she reached Mrs. Grace Draven, the
woman sneered, "You dare serve
this to your guests?" s
Evelina leaned in, whispering sharply, "Lemira, | told you to serve Mrs. Grace
Draven separately. Why did you give everyone the sthing?"
Mrs. Grace Draven wasn't in the ssocial league as the rest.
Lemira remained composed. "I thought everyone should have a taste."
