When They Beg I Rise (Lemira) novel Chapter 865

The moment Lemira heard Stella was in trouble, her mind instantly went to Asher Langston.

After all, the whole office had just been discussing the massive crisis facing the Langston Group, and how bankruptcy was imminent.

If Asher wanted to save his sinking ship, his only option was to secure a massive influx of cash.

Orion had already pulled strings behind the scenes, warning off investors and banks, making it nearly impossible for Asher to get a loan.

The only available source of money left for Asher was the Waverly family.

If Lemira hadn't warned Stella about Asher's true nature early on, the two of them would likely be engaged by now.

If Asher became the Waverly son-in-law, he would gain control over Stella's massive inheritance. Saving his company would be child's play.

In her past life, Asher had most likely succeeded.

But this time, because Lemira had intervened and because Stella wasn't an idiot, Stella had flatly rejected Asher at her birthday banquet.

Asher had tried to win her back a few times since, but Stella never wavered.

A proud, arrogant man like Asher normally wouldn't stoop to harassing a woman, but his current situation was desperate.

Janice's panicked voice echoed through the phone. "Stella and I were supposed to get dinner at that new restaurant tonight. But I waited forever after her class ended, and she never showed up. She wasn't answering her phone, so I went looking for her. Someone told me she went to the school gates to meet someone and ended up leaving in their car."

Janice hadn't wanted to assume the worst, but after hearing all the dark high-society drama from Lemira and Stella, her mind immediately spiraled. She couldn't help but call Lemira.

"Don't panic. Tell me exactly what time she went to the gates. I'll hack the cameras and track the car."

As long as they knew who owned the car, they would know where Stella was taken.

Soon after receiving the timeframe from Janice, Lemira bypassed the security protocols on the traffic cameras near the school.

She saw Stella walk out the gates. The moment she zoomed in on the license plate, her hands froze over the keyboard.

She didn't even need to run the plates.
