When They Beg I Rise (Lemira) novel Chapter 833

During dinner at the restaurant, Lemira excused herself to use the restroom.

By chance, she caught sight of Asher.

Why was he here?

Lemira thought back to what Sophia had mentioned earlier that afternoon—could they be meeting here to discuss some sort of truce?

After a moment’s consideration, Lemira decided to follow him.

Sure enough, she soon saw Sophia enter a private dining room as well. Lemira couldn’t help the cold smirk that tugged at her lips. Was Asher out of his mind?

Choosing this moment of all times to sit down and negotiate with the Sinclairs?

Inside the private room, Sophia addressed Asher directly. “Mr. Langston, let’s be frank. Here’s a cashier’s check—it should be enough to help the Langston Group through this difficult time. Going forward, the Sinclair family is willing to support the Langstons, even partnering on the artificial intelligence project. We could achieve a true win-win.”

Asher glanced briefly at the check. The Langston family truly needed cash right now.

Since Evelina had siphoned off the funds, they’d had no luck recovering the money, and the company was already facing a severe financial crunch. If things dragged on any longer, the outcome could be disastrous.

He spoke with an icy tone, “Your family caused the death of my parents, and you expect me to be satisfied with this little bit of money? Do you take me for some beggar?”

“Mr. Langston, if there’s anything else you want, please tell me. I’ll do all I can to make it right. I truly regret what happened in the past and hope the hatred of our parents’ generation doesn’t carry over to ours,” Sophia replied, her apology sounding sincere and her manner genuinely humble.

Asher noted Sophia’s conciliatory posture and his expression softened slightly. “It’s only now you apologize—isn’t it a little late?”

He’d spent years investigating, never expecting to discover that Mrs. Amelia had orchestrated everything from behind the scenes.
