When They Beg I Rise (Lemira) novel Chapter 634

“But that’s not fair to you. That bitch Evelina did it on purpose, I saw it with my own eyes.”

“I know. Things like this have happened countless times since we were kids. Thank you for standing up for me and forcing them to apologize, but in the end, you’re the one who would have been affected.”

That was why Lemira had pulled Stella away, to prevent any damaging rumors from spreading.

Stella’s eyes welled up. “I’m sorry. I used to misunderstand you.”

Only by witnessing firsthand the injustices Lemira faced could she truly understand what she had been through.

Lemira gave a small, weary sigh. “It’s fine. I stopped caring about them a long time ago. By the way, didn’t you say you were going to break up with Asher?”

“I brought it up with my family, but they said it was a minor issue and told me to just talk things over with Asher.”

Stella’s expression turned helpless. “The engagement isn’t easy to break, but I’ll find a way.”

“Asher is the type who cares most about his pride. If you keep opposing him, he’ll likely get fed up and break up with you himself.”

Seeing Stella’s predicament, Lemira guessed that she must be facing difficulties within the Waverly family as well.

Just then, Mrs. Waverly arrived and went straight to Stella. “Why aren’t you with Mr. Langston?”

Stella replied obediently, “I was just about to go.”

The sight made Lemira’s gaze turn colder.

Asher noticed Mrs. Waverly’s arrival and immediately walked over. “Mrs. Waverly.”

Mrs. Waverly glanced at Asher. “I’ve arranged for a photographer for you today. You two need to put on a good show so the media has something positive to report tomorrow.”

“Of course, Mrs. Waverly. I won’t disappoint you this time. I was even planning to personally measure Stella’s foot data so we can design a custom shoe for her.”

Mrs. Waverly smiled. “That’s a wonderful idea. That’s why I had her come today.”

Stella, however, seemed reluctant. “Edith, I’ve already arranged for a friend to help me with the measurements.”

Mrs. Waverly’s tone sharpened. “Which friend?”
