When They Beg I Rise (Lemira) novel Chapter 812

Evelina felt uneasy, a lingering suspicion gnawing at her that Lemira was deceiving her. But she had no proof. Right now, members of the Langston family were watching her so closely that she wasn’t even allowed her phone.

“At the very least, you should remember what he generally looks like,” Lemira said.

She turned to Asher and Lucian. “Get someone here to do a drawing.”

Lucian nodded. “I know an art professor—we can have her come.”

Lemira looked back at Evelina. “Whether we get a drawing of your father depends on your cooperation.”

“What do you mean by that?” Evelina asked.

“If the portrait ends up resembling your father, it means you’ve been truthful. But if the drawing looks nothing like him, it shows you lied—and that you’ve been working with him all along.”

Lemira fixed her eyes on Evelina, sharp and scrutinizing.

The “two-faced” girl was visibly shaken, a guilty look crossing her face.

At that moment, Asher suddenly turned to Lemira. “Did you already catch Evelina’s father? Are you just trying to test her?”

Lemira’s lips curled into a cold, mocking smile. “Why don’t you guess?”

Asher frowned. “Lemira, this isn’t the time for games.”

Evelina’s eyes widened in alarm when she heard this. Was this woman really setting a trap for her? If she’d tried to lie just now, wouldn’t she have given herself away? How vicious!

But Lemira just said, “If you’ve done nothing wrong, you have nothing to fear. We’ll see where Evelina stands.”

She deliberately kept her gaze on Evelina, making sure the “two-faced” girl couldn’t guess whether her father was already in their hands.

Evelina was at a loss.

If her father wasn’t in Lemira’s custody and she gave a detailed description, wouldn’t she just be helping Lemira find him?

Evelina could only look to Evander for help. “Evander, I—”

“Enough. Get the sketch done. I want to see for myself whose side you’re really on,” Evander interrupted sternly.
