When They Beg I Rise (Lemira) novel Chapter 867

Lemira had actually come to the Waverly estate to find Mrs. Waverly.

She knew this whole scheme had to be orchestrated with Mrs. Waverly's blessing; otherwise, Asher would never have the guts to lay a hand on Stella.

Lemira also knew that Mrs. Waverly was backing Asher's business ventures and had poured a significant amount of money into the Langston Group.

Naturally, Mrs. Waverly couldn't afford to see Asher's projects fail.

But when Lemira arrived at the estate, she was intercepted at the gates by the young stepmother.

Now, they were sitting in a nearby cafe.

Lemira looked at the young socialite and said, "If you stopped me, you must know Stella is in trouble."

"I know."

Felipa offered a bleak smile. "You should also know my situation in the Waverly household. I was forced to step back just to protect Stella. But I never imagined Mrs. Waverly would be this ruthless and refuse to let her go."

Lemira noted Felipa's expression. That delicate, vulnerable aura was practically copied and pasted from Evelina.

If Lemira didn't know for a fact that this woman had no relation to Evelina, she would have assumed they were blood relatives.

Lemira quickly shoved those thoughts aside. Saving Stella was the priority.

She asked, "What do you know?"

"Ms. Langston, right? I know you and Stella are very close, but can I completely trust you?"

Lemira didn't quite understand what the woman was getting at.

She looked the young stepmother in the eye. "I just want to get Stella out of there safely. She is my best friend."

Stella had helped her dig up massive amounts of dirt on the Sinclair family.

If it hadn't been for Stella, Lemira never would have found Evelina's fugitive father hiding at that dealership. No matter what it took, she was going to ensure Stella walked away unharmed.

Hearing this, the young socialite pulled a document from her designer bag. "My sister-in-law gave this to me. As long as I sign it, Stella will be safe."

Lemira glanced at the contents of the Waverly Trust transfer, and her rage became impossible to suppress.
