Stella spoke up. "The Sinclair family has been busy behind the scenes lately, looking into all sorts of things about the Langston family. They must have already caught wind of Evelina's embezzlement and the financial crisis she caused for the Langstons. If so, that's probably what they'll use against you—you need to be careful."

"I'm not too concerned about what happens to the Langston family,” Lemira replied, "because the Sinclairs won't have spare time to mess with anyone soon. Evelina's father was arrested today. He's agreed to turn himself in and testify against the Sinclairs."

Stella's eyes brightened. "That's great news!"

Oanice nodded eagerly. "It's just like they say-justice may be slow, but it always catches up in the end. They finally got what was coming to them."

"Yeah," Lemira replied, but something still didn't sit right with her. She couldn't quite put her finger on it.

Things were happening a little too smoothly.

Evelina's father had agreed to name the Sinclairs without even bargaining for anything in return. That in itself felt odd.

That night, lying in bed, Lemira couldn't stop thinking about it. If only she could remember exactly what happened in that car accident all those years ago. It would save her from worrying whether Hale was lying to her or not.

But no matter how hard she tried, the memories wouldn't come.

It left her feeling defeated.

The next morning, as soon as Lemira got up, Stella brought her some news. "They've found Mrs. Amelia. She's already back at the Sinclair residence."

Lemira wasn't exactly surprised.

Orion had said the day before that he'd let Mrs. Amelia go-their side had Evelina's father now, and the real confrontation with the Sinclairs was only a matter of time.

Stella hesitated for a second, then added, "Sounds like the Sinclair family has called the police. You and Orion should be extra careful.”

Lemira had never mentioned anything about Mrs. Amelia's disappearance, but Stella could easily guess it had something to do with her and Orion.

The Sinclairs themselves hadn't reported anything until now, probably out of guilt or fear. But now that they chose to involve the police, things might really stir up—and that would be bad news for Lemira, too.

Lemira gave Stella a reassuring smile. "Don't worry about it."

"With Orion by your side, I guess I

don't really need to," Stella really

smile shining in her eyes. "Her

looks out for you

Oanice chimed in curiously, "Lemira, what's going on between you and him anyway? Orion's done so much for you, he's even fallen out with his own family for your sake. I think he's an amazing guy."

Lemira was quiet for a moment before answering, "I know."

"A guy like Orion-good-looking, devoted, and sincere that's someone you don't want to just let slip away."

Lemira sighed. "It's just... things aren't that simple between us."

"I get what you're worried about, but no one knows what the future holds. Life's short-there's no point overthinking it. Besides, it's not like you couldn't move onut you two ever broke up."

Oanice grinned, "The Everhart heir is handsome, built, and head over heels for you.

If anything, you'd come out ahead."

And besides, the way he treats Lemira-he's clearly one of a kind.

Lemira glanced at her watch. "We'd better go. We'll be late for class."

She and Oanice headed out together. But just as they reached the building, Dorian suddenly stepped in front of them.

"Lemira," he demanded, "did you have something to do with Evelina's disappearance? Did you lock her up?"

Caught off guard by the accusation, Lemira raised an eyebrow. “You should be

asking the Langston family about Evelina, not me."

"Wait, aren't you part of the Langston family?" Dorian pressed.

"Are you out of your mind?" Lemira shot back. "You know just how bad my

relationship is with the Langstons."

She made no effort to hide her hostility toward them.

She eyed Dorian. “Evelina's married now. Why are you so concerned about her all

of a sudden?"

She'd never taken Dorian for the lovesick type.

Things this extreme never happen without a reason.

What exactly was Dorian up to?
