Chapter 731

Lemira had never understood what connection the car accident had with the Sinclair family.

After all, their two families had never crossed paths before, and there was no history of bad blood between them.

But now she knew.

The Sinclairs had wanted to seize the site of the new energy project, so they bribed her parents’ driver-Evelina’s father.

A heavy weight pressed down on Lemira. “I looked into it. The Sinclair family members were all busy celebrating their win on the day of the accident. So who did they send to Lyria to carry this out?”

Orion hesitated. “Maybe the person in the back seat of the car wasn’t actually involved?”

“How could they not be? They were most likely working with the Sinclairs.”

Orion’s hands tightened around the edge of the table, his heart sinking lower and lower.

He was starting to realize that he himself had been set up by the Sinclairs.

He actually didn’t have to ride in the Sinclair family’s car that day, but something went wrong, and he ended up in that very car.

It was that car that caused Lemira’s parents’ deaths.

But Mrs. Amelia had covered everything up so well, he had always believed the crash was just an accident.

The more Orion investigated the Sinclairs, the more alarmed he became. It was looking more and more likely that the crash had been deliberately orchestrated by them.

Lemira clenched her jaw. “The Sinclairs bribed Evelina’s father, but he’s still alive. So who was actually driving that day?”

The clues pointed to the Sinclairs, but something about the driver still didn’t add up.

It took Orion a moment to find his voice. “If we can find Evelina’s father, we’ll finally get to the bottom of this.”

He had been investigating that auto dealership, but still couldn’t find any trace of Evelina’s father.

If Debby hadn’t managed to snap that photo, he would have started to doubt if he’d even seen the man.

It was strange—even he couldn’t track this person down.

That was very unusual.

Lemira took a deep breath. “Yeah. That’s the final piece of evidence we need.”

With Evelina’s father’s testimony, they could finally unravel the true story behind the accident and prove that the Sinclairs had hired someone to kill her parents.

That crash wasn’t an accident-it was murder.

Orion reached over and took her hand. “The Langston family’s project has reached a critical point. Asher will be transferring the funds soon, and Evelina will try to embezzle the money. Once that happens, we should be able to track down

Evelina’s father through the account information.”

Lemira nodded, forcing a small smile. “Let’s hope so.”

She thought about her previous life, about being killed by Evelina and those who murdered her parents, and felt a deep sense of injustice and frustration.

Orion watched Lemira, knowing he needed to uncover the truth before he could tell her everything.

After dinner, Lemira returned to her dorm on campus.

She glanced at Orion. “I’m heading back to my dorm now. Thank you for everything you’ve done for me.”

She had already told Orion they should go their separate ways, but he had still done so much to help her.

He was the one who had uncovered this crucial lead.

At the moment, there weren’t many people she could trust. Orion was one of the few.

Orion’s hands tightened on the steering wheel. “You don’t need to thank me. I wanted to do all of this.”

He wished he could do more for her now.

One day, when she learned the truth, maybe she wouldn’t hate him as much.

Lemira pressed her lips together, unable to say anything more.

།

She opened the car door and left. With so much going on, and without knowing the real reason for her. parents’ deaths, she had no energy to think about personal matters.

Lemira headed straight back to her dorm.

After just uncovering this new lead, she still wasn’t calm enough. If she went back to the Langston Estate

Estate

he was afraid she might lose

control and give herself away.

She would wait until she had solid evidence. Then she’d confront Asher with it, and make him see exactly what kind of person he had brought into the Langston family. Lemira could barely contain her hatred for Evelina.

She was determined to make Evelina and those behind her wish they’d never been born.

She would destroy everything Evelina hoped for, and make sure that two-faced girl spent the rest of her life in utter misery.
