When They Beg I Rise (Lemira) novel Chapter 1074

Thaddeus Draven stepped forward. "Sophia, you're out of your mind. If the Sinclair family continues down this delusional path, you'll only sink deeper. I hope you don't regret it when you've lost everything."

"What else can I lose now? I'm already left with nothing."

Sophia looked at Thaddeus agitatedly. "My mother was innocent to begin with. I'm not wrong."

"You're a lunatic."

"I am a lunatic. I'm miserable, so I won't let any of you have it easy either."

After saying that, Sophia left triumphantly. Susanna hesitated for a moment but followed her.

Lemira spoke furiously. "It can't be life imprisonment. I want her dead. I want her to pay for my parents' lives."

Orion looked at her. "She will."

Sebastian chimed in with a guarantee. "Lemira, you have to trust my abilities. Don't let public opinion sway you. I've dealt with this in past cases. While it might have a slight impact, in the face of absolute evidence, it won't change the outcome."

Lemira forced a bitter smile. "But a death penalty is hard to secure, isn't it?"

She had studied the law too. For a criminal like Amelia, who didn't fit the extreme criteria, the probability of a death sentence was low.

Moreover, the case happened years ago, making it difficult to trace solid evidence.

Coupled with Evelina and Evander's relationship, things were becoming incredibly murky.

Lucian walked over. "Lemmy, don't overthink it."

Lemira looked up at her brothers, her gaze finally landing on Evander. "Are you satisfied now?"

Evander felt intensely guilty. He never expected things to turn out this way, and he was beginning to regret ever getting Evelina pregnant.

He kept his head down, not daring to speak.
