When They Beg I Rise (Lemira) novel Chapter 576

That afternoon, Lemira received a call from Asher. "Evelina's been taken by the police for questioning. Were you really in such a rush to get her in trouble?" he asked.

"Yeah, I was," Lemira replied coolly. She had waited a long time for this day.

She continued, "Have you thought about what I said the other day?"

Asher didn't answer. He simply hung up.

Lemira glanced at her phone and couldn't help but chuckle.

After her classes, Lemira headed to the team's training center. She joined her teammates for practice and even shared their training sessions live online. Ever since that incident with being banned by the Waverlies, she hadn't stuck to a regular weekend streaming schedule. Now, her streams were mostly focused on team training, which was a great way to boost their reputation.

By evening, Lemira made her way back to the Langston family mansion right on time. Evander had been messaging the family group chat all day about sorting out the inheritance issue that night. It was a showdown she couldn't afford to miss.

As soon as she stepped out of her car and into the mansion, she was greeted by Alaric, who seemed to have been waiting for her.

He hesitated before saying, "Evander and Asher had a big fight."

"I figured," Lemira replied. "Asher's against splitting the assets, isn't he?"

"Exactly. Asher’s company is about to go public, and he doesn’t want any distractions. Plus, he doesn’t agree with Evander marrying Evelina."

Lemira was taken aback. Asher opposed it? Yet, he had previously pleaded for her to go easy on Evelina for Evander's sake, as if she were doing him a favor by letting the girl he liked off the hook.

"Lemira, if Asher insists on dividing the assets, Lucian and I have discussed it. We’ll make sure you get your fair share," Alaric assured her.

"Aside from what Mom and Dad left me, I want nothing else," Lemira declared. She had no desire for Asher's money. Taking it would only bind her to his moral high ground in the future.

With that, Lemira strode into the mansion's grand hall. Sure enough, she could hear Evander and Asher's heated argument.

Evander was throwing a fit. "Asher, if you don't give me my share, you're just trying to steal my money."

"If it weren't for me managing the company, would you even have this wealth?" Asher retorted.

"But I'm getting engaged and need the money, and you're denying it to me."
