When They Beg I Rise (Lemira) novel Chapter 1076

Lucian nodded. "That makes sense."

But Rowan looked distracted, his expression grim as if troubled by dark thoughts.

—

Outside, it took Lemira a long time to calm down.

She was furious.

Not just about the public opinion, but about the things Rowan had said.

Janice whispered, "Tsk, tsk, seeing someone step up in a fit of rage to defend his girl was pretty hot."

Stella smiled. "True. Before we could even react, he had already charged forward."

If he didn't deeply care for Lemira, how could he have instantly caught the toxic undertones in the Langstons' words?

Lemira naturally thought of Orion's reaction, a faint smile touching her eyes.

To say she wasn't moved at all would be a lie.

Lemira looked at Stella. "Didn't they say Sophia was canceled? Why is there still an influencer speaking up for her?"

"I found that weird too. I've already sent someone to look into it; we should have results soon. But you really shouldn't worry too much. In the past, Attorney Bennett has been cursed out relentlessly during cases, but the judge rules based on the law regardless."

Lemira nodded, but she still felt sick at the thought of Amelia somehow slipping the noose.

Janice offered comfort. "Honestly, sometimes I think a fate worse than death is the ultimate punishment. Especially for someone like Amelia. Living to see everything she lost, remembering what she once had—she'll spend the rest of her life agonizing over it."

Lemira paused. A fate worse than death?

True, rotting in prison for the rest of her days would be a living hell for Amelia.

Lemira pressed her lips together. "But I still want her to pay with her blood."

Sebastian walked over. "Then you should have a little faith in me."
