When They Beg I Rise (Lemira) novel Chapter 830

She fixed Sophia with an icy stare. “In that case, your family should have gone bankrupt years ago. Isn’t that right?”

Sophia’s expression shifted. “So you already know, Lemira.”

If only she hadn’t wasted so much time earlier probing Lemira, who managed to dodge all her questions.

“What else did you expect? The law may be slow, but it never lets anyone escape. Your family was always bound to pay the price.”

Lemira’s gaze grew sharper as she looked at Sophia. “Don’t tell me you’re trying to help your criminal mother get off the hook?”

“Lemira, you must be mistaken. My mother did nothing wrong back then. It was just that driver making things up and slandering her.”

Of course, Sophia would never admit the Sinclair family’s role in the car accident after all these years. Besides, after so much time, who could possibly find any evidence?

Lemira glanced toward the tense scene on stage. “You were either bribing or threatening them, weren’t you? That’s why the match was rigged.”

It made sense now—Sophia had never been generous enough to just let those people go.

Sophia let out a soft, mocking laugh. “And isn’t it all because of you that things have ended up like this?”

Lemira held up her phone. “Did your mother ever tell you what exactly she got caught on camera doing?”

Sophia tensed. “Lemira, what do you mean? What did you do to my mother?”

“Why don’t you take a guess?” Lemira replied coldly.

Her voice was steely as she stared Sophia down. “Tell your people to stop threatening them—immediately. Otherwise, certain highly compromising photos of your mother will start circulating online. I imagine plenty of folks would be willing to pay for pictures of the mother of the so-called ‘number one socialite.’”

“Lemira, I can’t believe you would stoop this low!”

Sophia put on an outraged expression, as if it was Lemira who had crossed every line.

“Oh please—aren’t these tricks all things your family taught me? Where was your conscience when you were scheming?”
