When They Beg I Rise (Lemira) novel Chapter 1059

Hearing Asher's demand, Lemira carefully placed her floral tribute before stepping back.

The brothers followed suit, honoring their memory one by one.

Once the somber ritual concluded, the tension in the room instantly shifted as everyone gathered back around the sofas.

Asher's brow was deeply furrowed. "Lemira, you didn't answer my question. Standing in front of our parents, you cannot lie to us."

Rowan interjected smoothly, "Can you tell us exactly what happened back then?"

Lemira shot Asher a cold glance before speaking. "Everything you already know about the crash is accurate. It matches my recovered memories perfectly. But the person who pulled me from the wreckage, the boy who tried to go back into the flames to save Mom and Dad... it wasn't Evelina's father. It was Orion Everhart."

Dead silence fell over the sprawling living room.

She swept her gaze across her brothers, a bitter, mocking smile playing on her lips. "Hilarious, isn't it? You spent years telling me I owed my life to that man. But the savior you worshiped wasn't him. It was Orion."

The brothers exchanged looks of profound discomfort.

Asher cleared his throat, his tone defensive. "How were we supposed to know?"

Lucian rubbed the back of his neck. "Yeah... I never would have guessed it played out like that."

Rowan offered a faint, calculating smile. "It seems the Langston family owes Orion Everhart a massive debt of gratitude."

Caspian crossed his arms. "Well, we're saving his mother's life right now. That makes us even. Our family doesn't need to owe the Everharts anything anymore."

Lemira caught the subtle shift in Rowan's demeanor and pressed on. "As long as Amanda is fully cured, the Everhart Group will pull back the pressure they've been putting on the Langston Group."

Lucian smiled with obvious relief. "That's great news."

But Asher let out a harsh scoff. "The Langston Group is bleeding out right now, and Orion Everhart is directly responsible for that. You think just 'pulling back the pressure' is enough to fix the damage he caused?"

"Then what exactly do you want?"

Asher leaned forward, his eyes gleaming with ambition. "You know what our company desperately needs right now. If the Everhart family is willing to inject a massive investment into our portfolio, then we can call it even."

Lemira actually laughed out loud. "An investment?"
