Chapter 675

When Lemira looked at Mrs. Amelia, the woman’s expression was still laced with displeasure.

Mrs. Amanda nudged Mrs. Amelia’s arm and whispered, “Come on, I’ve set up the meeting. Talk to her properly and apologize p>

Mrs. Amelia maintained her stern face. “I already apologized at the banquet. Ask her what her conditions are to withdraw the complaint with the police and settle this p>

Mrs. Amelia truly hadn’t expected Lemira to file a police report. Susanna was already out on bail, and getting into more trouble would be a huge problem.

Mrs. Amanda sighed, got out of the car, and pulled Lemira aside.

She spoke in a low voice, “Lemira, I heard about what happened at the banquet. It was indeed Susanna’s fault. That girl has been spoiled by her family and has caused a lot of trouble over the years p>

Lemira listened to Mrs. Amanda’s gentle words. “Are you also asking me not to press charges p>

“If possible, I would certainly hope for a peaceful resolution. I’ve watched Susanna grow up, and I can’t just stand by and see her get into more trouble p>

Mrs. Amanda had swallowed her pride to come to Lemira. “Of course, if you’re not willing, you can also state your conditions p>

“Mrs. Amanda, I don’t have any conditions. Let’s leave this matter to the police. Besides, you saw the Sinclair family’s attitude. That wasn’t an apology; it was charity, and I have no need for it p>

Lemira turned and walked into the Maple Group building.

Mrs. Amanda sighed and returned to the car door, looking at her best friend, Mrs. Amelia. “You see? I brought you all the way here. Why couldn’t you just talk to her properly p>

“Did you see that girl’s attitude? You personally asked her to settle with me, but she wouldn’t even give you face. Why would she give me any p>

Mrs. Amelia’s eyes suddenly reddened. She grabbed Mrs. Amanda’s arm and started to cry. “You’re my best friend. You watched Susanna grow up. You used to say you treated her like your own daughter since you never had one. Can you really bear to see her go to jail p>

Mrs. Amelia just couldn’t swallow her pride, which was why she had asked Mrs. Amanda to come along.

She had figured that if Lemira wanted to be with Orion, she would surely do Mrs. Amanda a favor to curry favor with the Everhart family.

But she never expected that little bitch Lemira to show no respect at all.

Mrs. Amanda was in a difficult

position. I do see Susanna as my own daughter but you’ve spotted her so much over the years that she’s become arrogant and reckless p>

Mrs. Amelia gritted her teeth. “She’s still young, she’ll understand when she’s older. But we can’t just watch

her go

to jail now. She won’t event. show you respect, and she so poorly raised. How could she possibly be a good match for your son p>

“Let’s not mix issues. That child, Lemira, had a difficult childhood and has been falsely accused like this before it’s understandable that she’s unwilling to settle. “

Mrs. Amanda actually felt a bit of sympathy for Lemira.

Hearing this, Mrs. Amelia’s expression soured.

Her tone was laced with jealousy. “I’ve been meaning to ask you, why are you so good to that Lemira girl? Do you really want her as your daughter-in-law p>

Didn’t they agree long ago that her daughter, Sophia, would marry Orion, uniting their families even closer?

Mrs. Amanda’s expression grew somber. “I have my reasons for being good to Lemira. Haven’t you realized who she is p>

“She’s just some little slip of a girl. I have no impression of her at all p>

Mrs. Amelia was confused. All she knew was that Lemira came from a minor family and was trying to social climb.

Mrs. Amanda lowered her voice. “Have you forgotten about Orion’s car accident all those years ago p>

“How could I forget? Are you saying Lemira is the little girl who survived that crash?” Mrs. Amelia gasped. She had been careless.

Lemira was from Lyria. She should have realized it sooner, but so many years had passed that she had completely forgotten about it.
