When They Beg I Rise (Lemira) novel Chapter 906

"You think a man wouldn't react after hearing something like that? He wouldn't be a man if he didn't."

Orion knew exactly how male pride worked. In fact, before he even walked away from the ring, he had perfectly predicted what was going to happen.

He smiled faintly. "It's the perfect opportunity for them to bond."

"But what if Stella didn't want to?"

"You said you didn't want to either."

Lemira slapped her hand over Orion's mouth. "Shut up."

He kissed her palm, chuckled, and stood up. "I'm heading out."

He walked over to the men's locker room, making sure not to run into Stella when she inevitably came back.

On the other side, just as Orion was about to step into the showers, Caleb walked in.

The two men exchanged a single glance. Neither said a word.

Caleb broke the silence first. "Delete the security footage."

Orion smirked. "Go tell the owner yourself. Watch your behavior in public."

Caleb went completely silent.

After fixing her clothes, Lemira splashed cold water on her face to cool down her flushed cheeks.

Stepping out of the locker room, she bumped right into Stella.

The two girls locked eyes, both of them blushing furiously, and neither said a word.

Lemira cleared her throat. "I'm heading out first."

Stella nodded quickly. "Oh, okay. Go ahead."

With zero further communication, they both kept their heads down and scurried away in opposite directions.

Once outside, Lemira buried her face in her hands. She was never, ever talking like that again.

She had to be careful next time. Who knew these men had such fragile egos?

By the time Lemira reached the boxing area, her PR manager, Debby, had already arrived.

Debby pulled out a stack of documents. "These are the files the legal team prepared. With our lead attorney handling this, the Sinclair family doesn't stand a chance in court."

Lemira nodded in satisfaction.

With a top-tier lawyer on their side, their odds of completely crushing them were astronomically high.

Debby paused. "There is one thing you should know. While Evelina has been in the hospital trying to save her pregnancy, Lucian quietly ordered a DNA paternity test. He currently has the results in his possession."
