When They Beg I Rise (Lemira) novel Chapter 1045

Lemira instinctively swatted his hand away, taking a step back. "Keep your hands to yourself. That's harassment."

Reluctantly, Orion pulled his hand back. "Let's go."

He slowly curled his fingers, the lingering warmth of her skin still tingling on his fingertips.

Around midnight, Lemira and Orion arrived at the hotel.

Sebastian had already extracted the information they needed. More accurately, he had extracted it with the enthusiastic help of Jasper Jones.

Right now, the one person Sophia feared most was Gregory's vindictive son.

As Lemira and Orion walked into the suite, they spotted Jasper standing there. Like father, like son—he clearly wasn't a good person either.

Thaddeus looked at Orion. "We got the location out of her. I've already sent people to retrieve it."

Orion nodded.

Lemira let out a sigh of relief. She watched as Jasper sauntered over to Orion, wearing a sycophantic grin. "Mr. Everhart, I trust I was of some assistance tonight?"

Orion nodded. "I'll remember this. I look forward to future collaborations with you, Jasper."

He specifically addressed him by his first name, effectively ignoring Gregory's existence and validating Jasper's authority.

Jasper beamed, entirely satisfied with the response. "With your word on it, Mr. Everhart, my mind is at ease. I'll take my leave now."

He had done his part. If Orion successfully recovered the organ donor match, the Everhart Group would owe him a massive favor.

Jasper walked away with a wide smirk, silently thanking that idiotic Sophia for handing him such a golden opportunity.

The suite door clicked shut.

"Where's Sophia?" Lemira asked.

"Still in the bedroom, tied up. She's terrified of the Jones family. It barely took any effort to make her talk," Thaddeus explained, his tone laced with a strange reluctance.

"Did something else happen?" Lemira pressed.
