"You're disabled yourself. You're no better than Ms. Waverly."

Lemira couldn't stand how Evander kept calling Stella a cripple.

But that sentence thoroughly enraged Evander. He lunged at Lemira, shouting, "What did you just say? Say it again if you have the guts!"

Lemira put down her fork. "I said you're a disabled person in a wheelchair yourself. What right do you have to call someone else a cripple?"

"Lemira, you ungrateful monster, siding with an outsider to insult me, you..."

Seeing Evander approach, Lemira flipped the entire table, sending all the food spilling onto him.

A whole steamed fish landed squarely on Evander's lap.

Evander's eyes reddened with rage. “Lemira, do you think just because you've grown up and gotten bold, I can't hit you anymore?"

Lemira kicked over Evander's wheelchair. He fell right into the mess of leftover food, a completely pathetic sight.

Lemira looked down at him. "Don't think I won't touch you just because you're disabled."

"Lemira, if you treat me like this, aren't you afraid I'll never forgive you?"

Evander's voice changed with anger. He never imagined Lemira would actually dare to lay a hand on him.

Lemira raised an eyebrow. "I would be delighted."

She no longer cared about anything related to the Langston family.

Evander struggled to get up from the floor, unable to balance on one leg. He looked toward Evelina.

At this moment, Evelina had no desire to go over to him. She just felt utterly humiliated.

But now that Asher was upset with her, if she didn't secure her position with Evander, how would she survive in the Langston family in the future?

Evelina had no choice but to hold her nose and walk over, handing him a napkin first. “Evander, wipe yourself off."

Lemira looked at Evander. "You two should figure out how to solve the issue with the Waverlies. If you offend them, the Langston family could go bankrupt in an instant Then you won't have to worry about an engagement, you'll be struggling just to get by.”

Evander yelled, "This is all your fault!"

Lemira retorted, "I'm not the one who wore a stolen dress."

Just then, a waiter came in. "Excuse me, who will be settling the bill?"

Lemira's lips curled into a slight smile as she pointed at Evander. "He's paying. After all, someone was throwing a party to celebrate an engagement."

"Fine, I'll pay."

Evander fumbled around his pockets and finally said awkwardly, “I forgot my wallet. My credit cards aren't on me." Tʜe sourcᴇ of thɪs content ɪs find⸺novel.net

Evelina felt a wave of embarrassment. "Then what do we do?"

"I just assumed Asher would be here and we could put it on his tab.”

Evander hadn't expected Asher to leave without paying. He looked at the waiter "You know my brother Asher Langston, right. Just put it on his name. It's no trouble."

"I'm sorry, sir, but we don't run tabs."

The waiter walked up to Evander. "Cash or card?"

Evander's face flushed red. He had no choice but to look at Alaric. “Alaric, can you

Alaric replied flatly, "Evelina got my

Evander grew angry. “Then use your credit card.”

"My credit cards are all maxed out. Since you and Evelina are engaged, why don't you ask her to pay?"

Alaric was determined not to spend a single cent.

Evander, annoyed, looked directly at Lemira. "Then you pay. You ate the most out of everyone here."

Lemira's lips curled. "Then beg me."
