When They Beg I Rise (Lemira) novel Chapter 650

The Langstons were as self-righteous as ever, always making arrangements without ever asking if the other person even wanted them.

Asher pushed the cake in front of Stella, while Mrs. Waverly smiled and said, "No matter what conflicts two people have, they can be worked out. Look how sincere Mr. Langston is, preparing so many surprises for you."

Stella looked at the cake before her and felt as if she was being emotionally blackmailed.

Mrs. Waverly handed the cake knife to Stella and whispered, "You can be selfish if you want, but are you going to disregard your stepmother and half-brother abroad? Your brother needs a lot of money for his medical treatments."

Stella's face turned pale. Edith was openly threatening her.

It wasn't that George Waverly and his family were poor, but no one was willing to step up, and the company was entirely controlled by the second branch of the family.

Lemira was standing right next to Stella and heard every word Mrs. Waverly said. A wave of anger washed over her.

This was blatant bullying.

Stella gritted her teeth, took the knife, and cut into the cake, revealing a red box inside.

Asher opened the box, took out a ring, and got down on one knee. "Stella, I know I'm not perfect in many ways, but I hope you can give me a chance. I promise I will give you a happy home in the future."

Mrs. Waverly added her encouragement. "Yes, look how sincere his proposal is. He's been preparing for this day for a very long time. Say yes to him."

"Say yes, say yes, say yes!"

The surrounding crowd started chanting. Asher held out the ring to Stella, his face a mask of deep affection.

Lemira watched the scene, feeling it was utterly hypocritical.

In her past life, Asher and Stella had indeed gotten engaged, and with the Waverlys' help, he had established a foothold in Orvin. Lemira didn't dare to imagine what had become of Stella after he had used her.

Would a man as obsessed with his image as Asher truly accept a wife with a physical disability?

Thinking of this, Lemira glanced towards a certain spot.
