When They Beg I Rise (Lemira) novel Chapter 766

Lucian was seething with anger. “Asher, if you had listened to me earlier, at least Lemira might not hate us so much. At least we wouldn’t be stuck in this deadlock as siblings.”

Asher was completely distraught, covering his face and not daring to look at Lucian.

At this moment, he was suffering intensely.

Lemira was right—every single moment from now on would be nothing but torment.

A constant weight of pain and regret pressed on his heart.

And this was only the beginning of his punishment.

Lemira was truly merciless.

After hanging up the phone, Lemira finished her breakfast and went straight to campus.

She headed to her class in the main building, where Oanice had saved a seat for her.

As soon as Lemira sat down, Oanice leaned over and whispered, “How did it go last night?”

“It went well enough,” Lemira replied quietly. “Let’s talk later.”

She didn’t want to say anything more in the classroom—if someone overheard, the news would spread in no time.

Oanice understood and didn’t press further. She and Stella Waverly hadn’t slept well the night before either, both worried about Lemira, but they hadn’t dared to text her in case it brought her more trouble.

During class, Lemira received a message from Orion: [I’ll pick you up after class.]

[Where are we going?] she replied.

[Take the initiative.]

As soon as Lemira saw those words, she knew exactly what Orion meant.

After everything that happened last night, news would probably reach Mrs. Amelia very soon, so they had to act first.

She just hadn’t expected Orion to arrange things so quickly.
