When They Beg I Rise (Lemira) novel Chapter 945

Hearing that, Lemira's head snapped up, her eyes locking onto Stella.

It was about his family?

She let out a slow breath and shook her head. "I don't want to hear anything about the Everharts."

"Okay, I won't say it. Since you guys are over, it doesn't matter anyway."

Stella was equally stunned to learn Orion had been in that fatal crash. Did he only approach Lemira with an ulterior motive to begin with?

The dark thought crossed Stella's mind, but she didn't dare say it out loud.

Yet, she had seen the way Orion looked at Lemira. That kind of devotion didn't look like a calculated lie.

But she knew Lemira was deeply hurt by the betrayal. Defending him now would only make things worse.

Janice walked over and threw her arms around Lemira. "Don't be sad! Look on the bright side—at least you got to sleep with a ridiculously hot billionaire. That's a win in my book. Keep moving forward! There are plenty of hotter guys waiting in line."

Lemira cleared her throat. "We didn't actually sleep together."

The last time things had gotten heavy, they hadn't gone all the way because they didn't have protection.

Janice grinned. "Even better! The jerk didn't even get to seal the deal. Let him be the one crying about regrets."

Lemira stared at the floor, saying nothing.

"If he lied to you, you have every right to be furious," Janice continued firmly. "Be mad, scream, break something. But don't let it consume you. Right now, the only thing that matters is getting justice for your parents. Everything else is just background noise."

Lemira nodded slowly. "You're right."

Though Lemira looked remarkably composed, Janice and Stella exchanged a deeply worried look.

Who could have guessed that Orion Everhart was tied to her parents' tragic death?

Until the whole truth came to light, there was no telling what other dark secrets were hiding in the shadows.

But one thing was certain—Lemira had every right to be angry.
