When They Beg I Rise (Lemira) novel Chapter 559

This was like dropping a bombshell.

Lemira felt her head spinning. Something wasn't right.

She glanced over at Evelina, who wasn't putting up any fight. In a past life, hadn't Evelina schemed to marry Dorian and become a member of high society?

Why was everything different now?

Asher seemed a bit peeved. "Evander, what are you doing? Everyone knows Eve is our adopted sister. Being with her, aren't you worried people will gossip?"

He knew Evander had a thing for Evelina back in the day, but he thought after all these years, Evander would have moved on.

Evelina kept her head down, silent.

Right now, the only person she could rely on was Evander.

Her dad hadn't been in touch, and she couldn't count on him entirely. She needed a backup plan.

Luckily, Evander still had feelings for her.

Evander spoke up, "Eve's just an adopted sister. She's not related to the Langston family by blood. I've liked her for years. If I hadn't hurt my leg, I wouldn't have waited this long to say it."

Lemira found it all a bit odd.

Based on what she knew about Evelina, the "two-faced" girl had no interest in the Langston family. She wanted to marry into wealth and live the high life.

Why would she agree to be with Evander now?

Unless it was to dodge the scandal with the foundation kickbacks. The "two-faced" girl would do anything to save herself.

Asher looked conflicted. "This doesn't seem right."

"There's nothing wrong about it. Eve and I like each other," Evander insisted.

Asher glanced at Evelina, surprised. "But wasn't she seeing that guy from the Draven family?"

Evelina quickly clarified, "I've broken up with Dorian. He was just fooling me with what he said before."

Of course, she wasn't about to admit she was still secretly seeing Dorian.

Asher wasn't buying the "two-faced" girl's story.

Lemira also thought the excuse was a bit flimsy.
