When They Beg I Rise (Lemira) novel Chapter 874

"This is Waverly family business. It is not your place to interfere!"

Mrs. Waverly's blood boiled just looking at Lemira. If it weren't for Orion backing the girl up, she would have taught her a brutal lesson.

Unfortunately, she could only imagine it. She couldn't actually make a move.

Asher looked at Stella. "I know you need time to process this. I'll give you space. Eventually, you'll realize I'm the best man for you."

He knew he used a bastard's method to secure her money, but he fully intended to take responsibility for her.

He meant every word.

Lemira grabbed Stella's hand. "Let's go!"

Mrs. Waverly tried to block them, but Orion stepped right in her path. "I'd advise you to stop committing crimes, unless you want to end up behind bars one day."

A faint smile played on his lips, but the threat was unmistakable.

Mrs. Waverly was speechless.

Asher fell silent.

The implication in the man's words hung heavily in the air.

With Orion covering their exit, Lemira forcefully led Stella outside.

When Stella saw the luxury car parked brazenly at the entrance, leaving deep tire tracks across the pristine lawn, she instantly knew what had gone down. A wave of immense gratitude washed over her.

Thank God she still had friends.

Lemira spoke up, "Let's get in the car first."

She sat in the backseat with Stella, refusing to let go of her hand. "Are you really okay? If you want to call the police, we'll go with you."

She was terrified Asher had hurt her.

Stella shook her head. "I don't want to go back to campus. Can you help me book a hotel?"

"You're coming to my place," Lemira decided immediately.

Hearing this, Orion turned the steering wheel in a new direction. He knew exactly where Lemira lived.

Soon, the car pulled into the apartment's underground garage.

Orion stepped out and looked at Lemira. "I'm going to grab some food. You two head up first."

He knew the girls needed a private space to talk.
