When They Beg I Rise (Lemira) novel Chapter 1043

Hearing Sophia's words, Lemira knew exactly where this was going.

The Sinclair family's ultimate goal had never wavered.

"You're the one who ruined the organ donor match?" Orion's voice was ice-cold.

"Of course," Sophia answered with a light, almost cheerful tone. "How else could I negotiate with you?"

"Sophia, your family used my mother for years. You knew exactly how vital that match was for her survival, yet you deliberately destroyed it. Does this repay all the kindness she showed you?"

"Oh, please. Was she really kind to me? I certainly never felt it."

Sophia's voice sharpened. "If your mother actually cared about me, she would have agreed to my terms and let me marry you. But she refused. She chose to side with that bitch, Lemira. You can't blame me for this."

A flare of anger ignited in Lemira's chest at the sheer entitlement in Sophia's voice.

Sophia was an ungrateful wretch.

Lemira used to think Sophia was the smartest one in the Sinclair family, but she was exactly like Amelia. Like mother, like daughter.

"I will never marry you," Orion stated flatly.

"Liar! If it weren't for that bitch Lemira, you definitely would have married me."

Orion's lips pressed into a thin line. "Give it up. I won't agree to any of your conditions."

"Orion, can you really watch your mother die? I know you. You're not that kind of person. I'll be waiting for you at The Grand Metropolitan Hotel tonight. Don't leave me hanging."

Sophia hung up immediately, clearly terrified that Orion would reject the offer outright.

A heavy silence settled over the private room.

Lemira glanced at the men. "Does Sophia have no sense of shame?"
