When They Beg I Rise (Lemira) novel Chapter 702

Even now, she couldn’t bring herself to accept what was happening.

The man who used to be a penniless school doctor had suddenly become the heir to the Everhart family—the most powerful family in Orvin!

Did this mean Lemira was about to live her own real-life Cinderella story?

Why her? What made Lemira so special?

Evander immediately lost his nerve. “Asher, what are we supposed to do now?”

He never would have guessed that Lemira’s broke boyfriend actually came from such a powerful background!

There was no way the Langston family could afford to cross the Everharts now.

“How should I know? All these years I’ve busted my ass for the Langston family, and what do I have to show for it?” Asher was on the verge of breaking down.

There wasn’t a single person in the family who could actually help him; they were all just holding him back.

Mrs. Waverly stepped forward and addressed Orion, “My people have already taken care of everything. Nothing that happened tonight will get out. I’ll be leaving now.”

Mrs. Waverly realized that, after tonight, there was no way to turn things around. She needed to start distancing herself from the Langstons.

As soon as Mrs. Waverly left, another group of people entered the room.

Debby walked straight up to Lemira and Orion. “We’ve secured the premises, Mr. Everhart. What are your instructions?”

Orion finally turned, resting his hands gently on Lemira’s shoulders. “It’s over now.”

Lemira reached up and wiped a smear of blood from his cheek. She’d never expected Orion to be so fierce when he fought.

He took her hand in his. “Did I scare you?”

“No. But when you first taught me boxing, you said you were just an amateur. Do amateurs usually have skills like that?”

After she finished speaking, Lemira turned to face the Langstons.

Evander had nothing left to say.

Just then, Evelina approached, her tone syrupy sweet. “Lemmy, now that you have Mr. Everhart backing you, your life is so much better. All we can do is envy you and ask for your help. Why do you have to be so ruthless?”

A cold smile curled on Lemira’s lips. “Oh? So you want to beg me for help?”

Evelina nodded eagerly, then walked over to Orion, her eyes soft and full of calculated charm. “Mr. Everhart,” she said in a gentle, delicate voice, “you and I have known each other for a while now. Lemmy is still a Langston. If the Langston Group goes bankrupt, that wouldn’t do her any favors, either.”

Lemira watched Evelina act the demure damsel in front of Orion, those restless eyes of hers practically glued to him.

Lemira’s anger surged.

She strode forward. “But if the Langston family doesn’t go bankrupt, what good does that do me?”

“There are still benefits,” Evelina replied, flicking her hair in a way that made Lemira’s skin crawl. “After all, Mr. Everhart comes from such a prestigious family. If your own background looks too shabby in comparison, it wouldn’t reflect well, would it?”

The next moment, the two-faced girl looked up at him with a sweet, submissive expression and simpered, “Mr. Everhart, don’t you think I’m right?”
