Chapter 274
She felt as though she had slipped away from consciousness. But in a daze, she could sense someone rifling through her belongings nearby. Lemira’s eyes fluttered open to a blur of crimson. She saw someone snatching the laptop from beside her.
Lemira wanted to stop it, but she was too weak, only able to watch helplessly as her laptop was stolen!
Turning her head towards Orion, she saw him slumped over the steering wheel, blood trickling down from his head. “Orion, wake up!” she screamed silently.
Lemira thought she had dragged Orion down with her as she eventually drifted back into unconsciousness.
This car crash, seemingly mundane, had sent shockwaves through the Everhart family!
“The Everhart heir suspected of infidelity, in a car crash with his new love p>
This piece of news quickly made it to the top of entertainment headlines, only to be scrubbed clean shortly after.
When Lemira awoke, the smell of antiseptics filled her nostrils. She knew she must be in a hospital.
Thaddeus exhaled in relief, “Lemon, you’re awake. Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere p>
“Where’s Orion? How is he p>
Lemira remembered he was more injured than she was!
“He’s fine. Don’t move too much, you’re still on an IV p>
“I need to see him p>
Lemira couldn’t rest until she saw him with her own eyes.
“Not now p>
“Why? Is Orion really badly hurt, and you’re trying to hide it from me p>
This thought only made Lemira more anxious.
Thaddeus stopped her, “You’ve been watching too many soap operas. It’s really nothing serious, but his family is here now, and it wouldn’t be appropriate for you to visit. After all, you were both in the accident together; they might misunderstand.” After Orion had the accident, the Everhart family was nearly turned upside down in their search for the culprit!
Thankfully, he was the first to arrive at the hospital and managed to separate Lemira and Orion. Otherwise, Lemira would be in big trouble!
Lemira felt guilty, “It’s my fault he got hurt p>
“It was an accident, how is it related to you? But since Orion’s previous arranged dates were set up by his family, your accident with him could definitely lead to
misunderstandings. Now’s not the time to meet the parents p>
With the Everharts around, it wasn’t the right time for Lemira to show her face. Lemira then abandoned the idea of visiting Orion for the moment. “Lemon, once his family leaves later, I’ll find a chance to take you to him p>
“Okay p>
Since Thaddeus said so, she could wait a bit longer.
Lemira suddenly remembered, “This wasn’t an accident. It was intentional p>
“Intentional? Your enemies p>
But Thaddeus thought it might be one of Orion’s rivals, like a business adversary or someone who went bankrupt competing against them!
Lemira nodded, “The person stole the laptop, which had footage from the bar that night p>
“Damn, if that’s the case, it was definitely targeted at you. That narrows down the suspects p>
The corner of Lemira’s mouth turned up coldly, “It’s Evelina p>
After all, if the brothers saw that video, Evelina could no longer play the fake angel. Evelina had the most motive to destroy that footage.
“Besides Evelina, the Sinclair family
is also a suspect. The driver hasn’t been found yet, and only the Sinclair family has the means to pull this off!
“You’re right, Evelina doesn’t have such connections in Orvin. Maybe she told the Sinclair family about this. To protect Susanna, the Sinclair family might have taken action p>
Lemira didn’t expect the Sinclair family to go so far as to attempt on her life! “But with the laptop stolen and no backup, the evidence is probably destroyed.” “No, I made another copy for Lucian p>
