When They Beg I Rise (Lemira) novel Chapter 813

Lemira held the portrait, her expression hovering between a smile and a sneer as she fixed her gaze on the “two-faced” girl.

Evelina couldn’t quite tell what Lemira was getting at, so she replied ambiguously, “I mean, there is a bit of a resemblance, but it’s not exactly the same. After all, it’s just a drawing, not a photograph. Who could guarantee a perfect likeness?”

Evelina had already come up with her excuse earlier.

After all, who could expect a portrait to be an exact match?

Lemira knew the “two-faced” girl would try to make excuses, so she tossed the portrait right back at her. “If it doesn’t look enough like him, then keep changing it. Don’t stop until it actually does!”

She had no intention of letting the “two-faced” girl get away.

The portrait hit Evelina, leaving her flustered and angry. Humiliated, she turned teary-eyed to Evander. “Evander, I’ve been sitting here so long, I really don't feel well. Can I take a short break?”

Evander hesitated for a moment. “Alright, take a little break. It’s not like we’re in that big of a hurry.”

Hearing this, Evelina managed a smile and got up, hoping to slip away and avoid more work.

But Asher’s cold voice cut through, “No.”

Evelina froze, saying nothing, simply looking pitifully at Evander.

Now that her father was still alive, Evelina knew everyone in the Langston family despised her. Right now, Evander was the only person she could count on.

Evander frowned in protest. “Asher, you can see Eve isn’t feeling well. What’s wrong with letting her rest for a while?”

“Asher, is your brain working? The most urgent thing right now is to catch the real culprit who killed our parents!”

Asher jabbed a finger at Evander. “And you want to waste time because of this woman? How will you ever face Mom and Dad?”

Evander was still dissatisfied. “But Evelina is pregnant. We shouldn’t make her overexert herself.”

Lucian kicked at him. “We’re not telling Evelina to do any heavy lifting. We just need her to talk—how can that possibly tire her out?”
