When They Beg I Rise (Lemira) novel Chapter 844

Revenge takes priority, after all.

With the Orion connection, we’d be foolish not to leverage it.

“I really underestimated just how shameless the Langstons could be. If we can’t get Evelina back, you’d better figure out how you’ll explain this to our parents in the grave.”

Lucian fell silent for a moment. “I promise you, I will get this resolved. I’ve already sent people out to look for her; I believe we’ll hear something soon. If the Sinclair family was behind this, they’ll likely reach out to us before long.”

“You sound awfully sure of yourself.”

“Evelina’s father is still in our custody. If the Sinclairs want to make peace, they’ll have to come to us and negotiate.”

Lemira gave a cold snort. “Lucian, you’ve certainly thought this all through, haven’t you?”

When it comes to exploiting situations, the Langston family’s minds always work fast.

“Lemmy, like it or not, we’re all in the same boat now. When the time comes, we have to stand together.”

Lemira retorted icily, “Well, I don’t give a damn about anyone who doesn’t matter. Don’t come to me with any ridiculous demands.”

Evander turned to Lucian and said, “No matter what happens, you have to protect the baby Evelina is carrying. You know how much that child means to me.”

“Evander, you’re being ridiculous. However important that child is, is it more important than getting justice for our parents? Don’t forget, you lost your legs because of that car accident! If our parents had landed that deal, the Langston family’s status would have skyrocketed—who would have dared mess with you then?”

Evander was silent for a moment before saying, “What’s done is done. I’m already crippled, and I don’t care—I want that child. If Mom and Dad were still alive, I believe they’d understand me.”

Lemira, now fuming, glared at Evander. “You might as well just be dead, then.”

Lucian also recognized how serious things had gotten. He never expected Evander to be this blind to reality.

He gave Lemira an apologetic look. “I’m to blame for this too. I should have had more people watching over Evelina—maybe then none of this would’ve happened.”
