When They Beg I Rise (Lemira) novel Chapter 910

Evander took a few hesitant steps. Aside from the raw chafing left by the Langston prosthetic, the movement felt incredibly smooth and completely painless.

Just as he looked up to say something, Lemira had already turned her back on him to address the media. "Everyone, please look here. Our Maple Group Gen-2 technology has undergone massive biomechanical adjustments compared to the Langston equivalent. We originally planned a live demonstration later, but this presented the perfect opportunity."

The reporters instantly abandoned Asher and swarmed Lemira as she flawlessly pitched her tech.

Standing on the sidelines, Asher was practically vibrating with rage. What the hell was that idiot Evander doing?

Evelina was sick with jealousy watching the reporters fawn over Lemira. "Asher, look! She is completely exploiting Evander for her own gain!"

Asher aggressively moved to drag his brother off the stage, but Lucian stepped squarely in his path.

Lucian's expression was dead. "Weren't you the one exploiting her first? You just stood in front of those cameras and proudly declared we were all one big family. If you drag Evander away now, you'll be violently slapping your own face in front of the press."

Asher froze, his boots glued to the floor.

Lucian kept his voice in a low, furious hiss. "Are you angry, Asher? Do you feel like she played you? You are the one who tried to orchestrate this hit on her!"

Asher scoffed darkly. "Do you have any idea how dire the Langston Group's financial situation is right now?"

"And is this the result you wanted?"

Asher went dead silent. Of course it wasn't. He had never expected Lemira to become this ruthlessly brilliant.

Lucian let out a hollow breath. "I told you long ago, Asher. She is no longer the little sister who has to beg us to survive."

"So what? Am I supposed to get on my knees and beg her?"

"What is so shameful about asking your own sister for help instead of scheming against her?"

Asher remained silent, unable to form a rebuttal.

Evelina, however, sneered from the side. "You can defend her all you want, Lucian, but she is never going to help the Langston family."

"Shut your mouth! The only reason our family is destroyed is because of you!"
