When They Beg I Rise (Lemira) novel Chapter 948

Asher frowned defensively. "If Mrs. Waverly insists on leaking it to the press, how am I supposed to stop her? Besides, we have the hard evidence. What are we so afraid of?"

Evander spoke up, his tone serious. "What we need to worry about right now is whether the Everharts are going to change their stance. Your lead attorney is the head of their legal department. If they decide to pull their support, we need to have a backup plan ready immediately."

At that, all eyes in the room locked onto Lemira.

She lowered her gaze to the floor, her mind spinning. She truly hadn't known about Mrs. Amanda's condition.

If Mrs. Amelia was the only viable donor match right now, it didn't take a genius to figure out what the Sinclairs were going to demand in exchange for that kidney.

A bitter, mocking smile flashed across Lemira's eyes. So that was why Orion didn't dare face her.

Not to mention, the Everharts were already tied to the car crash.

She couldn't trust anything anymore.

Memories and chaotic thoughts swirled in her mind, but she finally looked up. "We do need a backup plan. Hire a new legal team to take over the case completely."

"If you ask me, we should just fire the Everhart lawyers right now," Asher said sharply. "If they decide to play dirty at the last second, they'll hand the Sinclairs the win on a silver platter."

Lemira remained silent.

Lucian watched her carefully before speaking in a softer tone. "Lemmy, I know things were serious between you and Orion, and making this call is hard. But the guy had an ulterior motive from the moment he met you. We have to protect ourselves."

His words felt like a dagger twisting in her chest.

She forced her face to remain expressionless. "Just secure the backup lawyers for now. We'll deal with the rest later."

The trial date hadn't even been set.

There was still more investigating to do before they stepped foot in a courtroom.

Asher scoffed loudly. "Don't let your ridiculous romantic feelings blind you, Lemira. For all we know, he seduced you just so you'd hesitate when this exact moment came."

Lemira shot to her feet, glaring at Asher, her face pale with fury.

Right. That was exactly what everyone thought.
