When They Beg I Rise (Lemira) novel Chapter 958

"Shut up."

Lemira's gaze turned instantly glacial. "My parents are dead. The only thing that will bring them peace is watching their murderers face justice."

"You really are a hell-bent avenger. Good. That makes my job much easier."

Lemira stood up, smoothing the front of her jacket. "Mr. Bennett, since you are now my legal counsel, I highly suggest you stop testing my resolve. It makes you look incredibly unprofessional."

Sebastian scoffed lightly. "Don't worry, Ms. Langston. You'll see my professional capabilities soon enough in the courtroom. That is, after all, why you hired me."

"Excellent. Contact me immediately if you have any questions while reviewing the files."

Lemira turned and walked out of the office. With the lawyer situation finally settled, the crushing weight on her chest lifted slightly.

Stella was waiting in the reception area. Seeing Lemira emerge, she rushed forward. "How did it go?"

"It's done. He's taking the case."

"I knew he would!"

Lemira knew this wasn't the place to talk. She grabbed Stella's arm and they headed for the elevator.

Standing in the doorway of his office, Sebastian watched the two women leave. His eyes flicked to the tall, imposing man standing near them, who clearly moved like a bodyguard.

In a split second, the bodyguard's eyes locked onto Sebastian's. The man's gaze was predatory and dangerous.

Sebastian chuckled softly to himself. What exactly was Orion Everhart playing at?

Had Orion deliberately orchestrated Lemira coming to him?

Whatever the billionaire's twisted game was, Sebastian didn't care. He was going to give this war against the Sinclairs and the Everharts everything he had.

Outside the building, Lemira finally let her curiosity win.
