FreeNovelLemira watched Evelina's retreating figure, her eyes filled with a myriad of thoughts. Once Evelina returned to her room, her expression was as cold as a winter's night.
Zack quietly entered, carrying a glass of milk. "Ms. Evelina," he whispered, "we can't just sit around and do nothing. We need to take action, or things will only get worse for you." "Do you think I don't know that?" Evelina snapped, looking up from the planning documents in her hands. Her eyes fixed on Zack. "I have an idea, but I'm not sure if you have the guts to pull it off." "Tell me, Ms. Evelina." "You're being sent back to your hometown tomorrow anyway. Why not get srevenge tonight before you go? Lemira is expectingto deliver the revised plan. She won't lock her door tonight." Evelina's voice dripped with malice. "Pretend you're drunk and barge in. What you do after that is your choice." Zack's eyes gleamed, but he hesitated. "I've heard Ms. Lemira is quite capable." "I know," Evelina replied. "I'll have a maid bring her smilk laced with a little something extra. Later, I'll check if she's drunk it when I deliver the plan. She won't be able to fight back by then." Just the thought of it made Evelina feel a sense of satisfaction. Once Lemira was disgraced, how would she hold her head up high again? Zack hesitated, "But I'll end up in jail for sure. How will I live without this job?" "Don't worry," Evelina assured him. "I'll give you smoney. You can claim you were drunk. Asher won't want to cause a scandal by pressing charges. At most, you'll be thrown out." Evelina's eyes sparkled with excitement. "It's a win-win situation. You've been single all these years, and spending a night with Miss Lemira is quite the catch." "True enough," Zack conceded, rubbing his hands together in anticipation. "Ms. Evelina, I've always admired you, though." "I've always seen you as a respected elder," Evelina replied, masking her disgust with a smile. "I remember you saying that in the Langston family, we're all the same, and you'd always be on my side. Does that still hold true?" "Of course," Zack affirmed, taking her hand. "Unlike the Langston family, I'm loyal. I'll always protect you." Evelina couldn't help but cringe at the sight of his graying hair. In the past, she had feared being ousted from the Langston family, so she had deliberately encouraged Zack's infatuation with her, which had been beneficial in many ways.

As soon as he left, Evelina rushed to the bathroom to wash her hands Once L'emira was ruined, she would never have to endure Zack's presence again.
Tonight, she would ensure Lemira's downfall.
Evelina sent the revised plan to the foundation's assistant, giving then poor assistant a verbal lashing that finally brought her srelief. A few hours later, Evelina, holding the revised documents, knocked on Lemira's bedroom door.
As expected, it was unlocked. Evelina entered.

Lemira was still engrossed in her video game. She glanced at Evelina with indifference. "Wait a minute. I'll be done with this gsoon."
Evelina felt a twinge of annoyance and glanced at the empty milk glass on the table Everything was going according to plan. Evelina smirked. Not long after, Lemira yawned, looking groggy. She stood up. "I'll look at it later. You can leave now." "Alright, make sure to give it a good read," Evelina said with a triumphant smile, eager to leave the room and summon Zack.
She couldn't contain her excitement. "Lemira is done for." "Are you so sure about that?" A voice interrupted.
