When They Beg I Rise (Lemira) novel Chapter 862

Thaddeus sat down and continued, "Then it's highly likely tied to the Sinclair family again. But if you actually make a move, you might just anger Mrs. Amanda enough to make her sick."

"So you want me to just swallow this?"

"Not exactly, but there's absolutely no need for you to personally bankrupt them. Once Mrs. Amelia is arrested and the things the Sinclairs did in the past are exposed, they'll naturally face their demise. That way, you'll have a proper explanation for your mother."

If Orion attacked the Sinclairs right now, Mrs. Amanda wouldn't just lose face—she would be furious.

Orion's expression remained icy. "I've tolerated the Sinclairs for this long solely because they could keep my mother company. But their intentions are malicious, and I don't want them anywhere near her."

"I know. But when your father had his accident and your mother fell into severe depression, it was Mrs. Amelia who stayed by her side and helped her pull through all these years. Even if Mrs. Amelia had ulterior motives, your mother truly treats her well and is emotionally invested."

Orion looked at him. "Did your mother send you here as a lobbyist?"

Thaddeus rubbed the back of his neck. "My mom has a point. Doing this will seriously upset Mrs. Amanda. Weren't you planning to let your mother see clearly how the Sinclairs have been using you? Take it slow. She'll realize the truth eventually."

Orion gripped the document in his hand tightly, his eyes filled with reluctance.

Thaddeus stepped forward, snatched the document, and tore it in half. "Making the Sinclair family disappear isn't what you should be focusing on right now. Expose the truth of the past, make them pay the price, and let Lemon move past her grievances so she can be with you."

When that time came, Orion wouldn't even need to lift a finger; the Sinclair family would go bankrupt on their own.

Orion tugged at his tie and looked at Thaddeus. "Have you found Evelina Sterling?"

"We have a lead, still tracking her down. I have to admit, that woman is good at hiding. She actually holed up in a private club. A pregnant woman living it up in there—if it weren't for some Business School trust-fund kids spotting her, we wouldn't have any news at all."

But once a lead was found, they were closing in on her.

Orion thought for a moment. "As soon as we catch Evelina, we can set things in motion. I have to make my mother see that the incident from back then was deliberately orchestrated by the Sinclairs."
