“Settle this privately?”

Lemira could hardly believe Evander could say something so low and shameless.

Without even thinking, she raised her hand and slapped him hard across the face. “Say that again, if you dare!”

She never imagined Evander could be so utterly brazen.

Evander protested indignantly, “It’s just a temporary measure! Once we get Evelina back, we can always go back on our word, can’t we? After all, the decision is in our hands—the Langstons’.”

How could Lemira not understand what he meant?

Lemira gave a cold laugh and turned to Lucian. “He sounds exactly like Asher did when he was willing to make peace with the Sinclair family. One only cares about money, the other about having heirs. But the two of you—neither of you ever thinks about our parents, who died so unjustly. The Sinclairs killed them, and as a result the Langston family has struggled all these years. Don’t you feel the slightest urge for revenge? Don’t you want to see the murderers brought to justice?”

But both of them kept wavering, torn between their own interests and the idea of revenge.

Lucian, too, was infuriated by Evander’s words.

He said, “Lemmy, I’m just as angry as you. But I promise you, as long as I’m here, I’ll never let that happen.”

Lemira looked at him with a sneer. “You’ve made that promise a thousand times, and every time, something goes wrong.”

Honestly, Lucian’s solemn vows meant nothing to her anymore.

“Lucian, are you just going to stand by and watch our family line die out? I know revenge matters, but can’t we figure out a safer plan to rescue Evelina first?”

After all, after these long years, waiting a day or two for Evelina wouldn’t make such a difference.

“Enough! How dare you say that? Didn’t I warn you over and over to stay with Evelina 24/7, to never let her out of your sight? Look what happened because you didn’t listen!”

Evander immediately looked guilty. “Lucian, I know I didn’t think everything through this time. But as soon as I heard something happened to Asher, I rushed over to check on him. I didn’t expect Evelina to just vanish in such a short time.”

She realized she should never have placed any hope in the Langston family.

She’d thought that when it came to getting justice, they’d at least show some reliability.

“Lemmy, don’t get upset. Now’s not the time to let ourselves fall apart—we need to stick together. Why don’t you go talk to the Everhart heir and ask him for help? Have him look into it and confirm if Evelina really is in the Sinclairs’ hands?”

Lemira stared at Lucian in disbelief. “Weren’t you the one who looked down on him for not being rich? And now you have the nerve to ask him for help?”

Where was his shame?

Lucian’s expression turned complicated. “I know Asher and I misjudged him in the past. But he hasn’t held it against you. Things are urgent now—we can’t afford to care about that anymore.”
