When They Beg I Rise (Lemira) novel Chapter 1069

Asher couldn't believe a reporter had the audacity to ask such a humiliating question on camera.

The rest of the press pack eagerly jumped in. "Mr. Langston, why isn't the driver's daughter here today? Is she hiding out of guilt?"

"Mr. Langston, rumors state she's pregnant with a Langston child. Who in your family was blind enough to sleep with the enemy's daughter?"

The relentless barrage of questions turned the brothers' faces a deep, furious shade of red.

Asher and Evander, in particular, looked like they wanted the ground to swallow them whole.

Lucian quickly stepped up to handle the PR disaster. "Ladies and gentlemen, we were entirely in the dark. We had no idea about the true nature of the car crash, which is why we took the driver's daughter in."

A reporter aggressively pushed back. "Is that your excuse for violently neglecting your own sister in favor of an outsider?"

Lucian's expression tightened. "We aren't making excuses. We fully acknowledge our catastrophic mistakes, and we are actively working to make amends."

"How exactly do you plan to make amends? Are you just going to throw a hollow apology at her and expect her to move on?"

The reporter's hostile interrogation left Lucian struggling for words.

He shot the journalist a piercing glare. Shouldn't they be focusing on the murder trial instead of drilling them on family gossip?

It was blatantly obvious they were trying to publicly humiliate the Langstons.

But with the entire city watching, he couldn't afford to lose his temper.

Lucian forced a diplomatic tone. "We will be taking concrete, tangible actions to compensate her. You can rest assured on that front. Lemira is our only sister, and we intend to give her everything she deserves."
