When They Beg I Rise (Lemira) novel Chapter 642

"I'm talking about you, you lapdog, fawning over a two-faced girl while abusing your own sister. You don't deserve to be a brother, yet you act all high and mighty. Your whole family is insane!"

Lemira smiled, pulling Oanice away. It wasn't good to cause a scene with so many people watching.

Evander, still fuming from the verbal lashing, snapped, "Asher, did you see that? What kind of attitude was that? And you gave her the dress Eve wanted to win her over!"

"I'll say it one more time: that dress belongs to Lemira. I didn't give it to her."

After all, with so many wealthy people in Orvin, his connections weren't nearly good enough to get his hands on that dress.

Evelina spoke up meekly, "It must have been Ms. Waverly who helped her. Ms. Waverly never seemed to like me much."

Asher thought the same. It was most likely Stella. "Whatever the case, we absolutely cannot offend Stella. Otherwise, you can all get out of the Langston family."

Evelina forced a smile. "Don't worry, Asher."

With such a golden opportunity tonight, she was determined to make a good impression.

She needed to seize the chance to meet more people from high society. She had no real intention of marrying a loser like Evander.

With their own agendas in mind, the Langstons entered the banquet hall.

Lemira led Oanice on a tour of the hall before they ended up at the food section, since they didn't know anyone there.

"Well, well. Just as I expected from country bumpkins. The first thing you do is head for the food. Look how utterly uncouth you are."

Susanna approached with several of her friends, Evelina among them.

Lemira instinctively shielded Oanice, facing Susanna. "If you think the food section is for country bumpkins, then I'll be sure to ask Mrs. Waverly why she bothered setting up something so beneath Ms. Sinclair."

Susanna's face changed. "How dare you! I was just saying you're country bumpkins, lowering the class of this party."

That bitch was actually trying to frame her.
