Lemira lifted her hand and caught Mrs. Amelia's wrist, her eyelids barely twitching.

Furious, Mrs. Amelia tried to yank her hand back.

Lemira suddenly let go, causing Mrs. Amelia to lose her balance and stumble to the floor.

Her face was blank as she said, "Assault is illegal, Mrs. Amelia. Now I see where Susanna gets it from. Like mother, like daughter, I suppose?"

"Lemira, how dare you be so disrespectful! Your whole family is rotten to the core. Your father, Asher, shamelessly married into the family. Has he no shame?"

Mrs. Amelia had never been so humiliated. That little bitch Lemira is certainly arrogant!

A small smile touched Lemira's lips. "Asher is quite shameless. I have to agree with you on that."

As long as they weren't insulting her parents, she didn't care who they insulted in the Langston family.

Mrs. Amelia glared at Lemira, exasperated. "Don't think you're so special just because Orion dotes on you now. You don't know that he's still hiding something

from you."

"What else is he hiding from me?"

Lemira studied Mrs. Amelia's face. The woman had a smug expression, as if she had found Lemira's weakness.

Mrs. Amelia haughtily smoothed her clothes. "You want to know that badly? Then beg me."

"Then I don't want to know anymore."

Lemira said it lightly and turned to leave.

Flustered and angry, Mrs. Amelia snapped, "Lemira, you're lying, aren't you? Orion hid his real identity, and he also hid his real reason for getting close to you."

Lemira turned her head. "Do you think you can drive a wedge between us with these words? Your daughter Sophia already tried the same trick."

She wouldn't fall for it so easily this time.

Mrs. Amelia shorted. "But your eyes tell me you don't quite disbelieve me. Think about it. Why would the heir to the Everhart Group suddenly become a school doctor at

Konovel.ned

university living under a false name by your side, and helping you so much? Haven't you ever been suspicious?"

Lemira's hands clenched, her mind reeling.

An elegant smile spread across Mrs. Amelia's face as she lowered her voice. "Don't you find it all very strange? Is he with you because he likes you, or for some other reason?"

"That's enough!"

Lemira stared at Mrs. Amelia. "Thank you for the clues. I'll ask Orion myself later."

Mrs. Amelia's smile faded. She had expected to see Lemira flustered, but the little brat was remarkably calm.

Mrs. Amelia gritted her teeth. "Do you think you can get the truth out of him? He'll keep lying to you. He'll never tell you, I'm only telling you this out of pity, seeing you being led around by the nose."

Lemira really wanted to just walk away.

But she remembered Asher saying the car involved in the accident belonged to the

Sinclair family, which meant a Sinclair was in the car.

She thought for a moment, then turned back to Mrs. Amelia. "You've said so much. What do you really want?"

"I told you. I'm reminding you out of pity."

"But if Orion won't tell me the truth, what will take for you to tell me what he's hiding? Are you perhaps hoping I drop the lawsuit against y Susanna for falsely accusing me of theft?"

Lemira watched Mrs. Amelia intently, not missing a single expression.

"You're quite clever. It's just a pity that you..."

Before Mrs. Amelia could finish, Mrs. Amanda's voice came from behind them. "Lemira, what are you doing here?"

Mrs. Amanda came out of the ICU, saw Lemira with Mrs. Amelia, and took off her sterile gown as she walked over.

Mrs. Amelia's demeanor changed instantly. She turned and linked her arm with Mrs. Amanda's. "Oh, you're out. How is she? Is she furious with Lemira?"

Hopefully, Mrs. Eileen hates Lemira and will stop that little bitch from being with Orion.
