When They Beg I Rise (Lemira) novel Chapter 814

"Lucian, what are you saying? That's my only child!"

Evander was utterly shocked; he never expected Lucian to outright suggest not keeping the baby.

Lucian’s face was cold and severe. “Evander, Asher usually indulges you and lets you get away with things, but there’s no room for discussion when it comes to the person who killed our parents.”

Evander immediately protested, “Eve would never side with her father.”

Only a fool would give up the Langston family's status and follow a murderer.

Evelina wasn't that foolish.

Evelina hurried to pledge, “Lucian, I promise—I’ll cooperate.”

Lucian looked at her closely. “So, do you still need to go to the hospital?”

He could see right through Evelina’s lie.

She quickly shook her head. “My stomach’s fine now. I can keep working with the artist.”

Evelina had tested the Langston family’s attitude and realized everyone was united on this—and even Evander, foolish as he was, wouldn't budge.

She didn't dare push any further and had no choice but to go along.

Seeing the “two-faced” girl shrink back, Lemira let out a cold laugh. “I want to see results after dinner. We’re running out of time.”

With that, Lemira headed to the dining room; she was hungry and needed something to eat.

Soon, Lucian came over. “Lemmy, it’s just us now—be honest with me. Is Evelina’s father in your hands or not?”

Lemira looked up to see Asher had followed behind Lucian.

Her tone grew even icier. “I’ll tell you after Evelina finishes the portrait.”

She clearly wasn’t interested in talking about it now.

Asher grew frustrated. “Is it that you don’t trust us?”

Lemira shot back with a mocking look. “What have you done to deserve my trust?”
