When Lemira finished speaking, the atmosphere in the room shifted immediately—everyone's expression changed.

Evelina’s face was no exception.

After all, Evelina had always thought that no one would ever find out about her father’s plastic surgery. When she realized her father hadn’t been caught, she assumed Lemira had no idea about the surgery either.

Yet, somehow, Lemira knew.

Evelina looked up, scrambling for an explanation. "I really didn’t know..."

Lemira slapped Evelina across the face. "You want me to believe you didn’t know your father had plastic surgery? Are you telling us you never saw his new face?"

Evelina’s cheek burned from the slap, and guilt made her tongue-tied. She could only turn to Evander for help. "Evander, I—"

But Evander grasped her hand firmly. "Be honest with me. Did you know or not about your father’s surgery?"

"I wasn’t trying to hide it. I honestly thought you’d already caught my dad. I figured everyone already knew. I just found out now that Lemira has been lying to me."

Evelina’s mind raced as she spoke.

There was no way she could confess to this now—otherwise, life in the Langston family would be unbearable for her.

Damn Lemira for digging all this up. If Lemira discovered this much, could it mean her father would be found soon, too?

Evander watched Evelina intently. "Then why didn’t you say anything when I asked before?"

"I thought you knew already, which is why I didn’t bring it up," Evelina replied softly, gazing at Evander with a pitiful look. "I swear, it wasn’t intentional."

Lemira interrupted, her tone sharp. "All right then. If it wasn’t on purpose before, you should be able to tell us what your father looks like now after surgery. Go on!"

She really had Evander to thank for creating the perfect opening—otherwise, she wouldn’t have known how to force Evelina’s hand.

This was an opportunity she couldn’t pass up.

That proved the girl didn’t really trust her father completely, either.

Sensing her advantage, Lemira pressed on: "If you help us catch your father, it proves you’re not on his side. That means whatever happened in the past truly had nothing to do with you. His going to prison won’t affect your life."

Evander nodded in agreement. "Eve, I think Lemira is right. You’re my wife now—a daughter-in-law of the Langston family. You need to decide where your loyalty lies."

Even though Evander valued the child Evelina was carrying, deep down he hated her father.

If it weren’t for that car accident all those years ago, he wouldn’t be living with a disability now.

If Evelina wasn’t pregnant with his only child, he never would have allowed her to stay here in the Langston family.

At that moment, everyone turned their attention to Evelina.

Lemira gave her a cold, mocking smile. "Are you hesitating because you don’t want to describe your father’s new face?"

"N-no, it’s not that. I only saw him once, and honestly I can’t remember the details that clearly."
