When They Beg I Rise (Lemira) novel Chapter 713

Lemira stared at Asher, whose face looked especially grim.

“Lemira, I can apologize to you,” Asher said at last, forced now to swallow his pride.

Lemira glanced at the property division documents. “I have one more condition. This villa must be transferred to my name.”

Evander jumped in before anyone else could speak. “And why should it? This place is supposed to be Eve’s and my future home!”

A marital home? The audacity.

Lemira turned to Asher. “This is my final condition: transfer the villa to me, and the Langston Group’s new product launch must happen one month after Maple Group’s.”

“The villa can be yours, but we can’t delay the launch by that much,” Asher replied, making his decision without hesitation.

Lemira stood up. “Then there’s nothing left to discuss.”

She turned to leave, offering no room for compromise.

In the end, Asher relented. “Fine. We’ll do it your way.”

A one-month delay was still better than bankruptcy.

Evelina, however, was unwilling to let it go. She looked at Evander. “Weren’t we supposed to have this villa as our home?”

Evander protested, “Asher, I already promised Eve this villa. You can’t give it to Lemira!”

Asher’s tone turned icy. “Then you handle this mess. If you can’t, keep your mouth shut!”

Evander fell silent. How could he possibly fix this?

Asher quickly drew up a new contract, signed it, and handed it to Lemira. “Is this enough now?”

“That’s better. I’m only being this reasonable for the sake of family. If there’s a next time, it won’t be so easy,” Lemira said, signing the contract without hesitation. She wasn’t losing out on this deal.

After all, the Langston Group didn’t have much time left anyway.

When Evelina realized the villa now belonged to Lemira, she stormed upstairs in a fury. She’d thought she could walk away with a tidy sum, only for Lemira to intercept it at the last moment.

Evander grumbled and complained, but Lemira simply ignored him and went back to her room to rest.

Lemira chuckled. “It’s all about their own interests, but they’re so good at pretending otherwise.”

“There’s something else you should know,” Orion said. “Mrs. Amelia has also been to the dealership recently. For now, be careful and avoid secluded places.”

Lemira immediately became alert. “You think they might make a move against me?”

“We can’t rule it out. The gloves are off now.”

“Good. It’s a chance to draw them out. I want to see what’s really going on between Mrs. Amelia and that mechanic.”

Lemira was more and more convinced that the car accident years ago wasn’t as simple as it seemed.

Orion disagreed. “Don’t be reckless—it could be dangerous.”

“Don’t worry, I value my life more than anyone.”
