When They Beg I Rise (Lemira) novel Chapter 654

Evander glared at Lemira. "You're just enjoying the show. You'll get what's coming to you."

"It can't be worse than the karma of being cheated on."

Lemira's tongue was as sharp as a viper's. Evander was fuming. "Do you think you'll gain anything from Eve's humiliation?"

"At least I'll get some satisfaction. And after all, being happy is the most important thing in life."

"Lemira, you just wait!"

Evander couldn't win an argument with her. If Evelina weren't unconscious, he would have taught Lemira a lesson.

Lemira watched the Langstons leave, her expression turning colder.

Good, now Evelina was cornered.

She'd like to see how the mastermind behind all this would use Evelina to sabotage the AI project now!

But the commotion had cast a pall over the party.

Mrs. Amelia stepped forward. "Alright, everything's settled. Let's all enjoy the entertainment Mrs. Waverly has prepared for us."

With her smoothing things over, Mrs. Waverly's expression softened considerably.

The guests were polite enough to play along, but they were all whispering about what had just happened.

Mrs. Waverly, her face grim, pulled Stella into the main hall and raised her hand to slap her.

But before she could, Lemira caught her wrist.

She looked at Mrs. Waverly and said, "Stella is the birthday girl today. If you slap her and leave a mark, it wouldn't look good if word got out, would it?"

"Who do you think you are? This is a Waverly family matter. Don't think I don't know you were behind what just happened."

Even if Mrs. Waverly hadn't figured it out before, seeing the outcome made it all clear.

Stella wanted to break up with Asher, and she hadn't allowed it, so they orchestrated this little drama at the party.

Now that the Langstons were completely disgraced, she couldn't force Stella to stay with Asher without inviting gossip.

Stella stepped in front of Lemira. "It was my idea. She was just helping me."

"Are you a fool? Lemira has always been at odds with her family. She's ruthless enough to go after her own brother. Aren't you afraid she'll turn on you too?"
