When They Beg I Rise (Lemira) novel Chapter 776

Stella hugged Lemira. “We have to make sure they’re brought to justice.”

“Yes, we absolutely will.”

Lemira wiped away the tear tracks at the corner of her eyes. She had come this far—there was no way she’d give up now.

“Let me tell you something to cheer you up.”

“What is it?”

Stella smiled. “Asher came to see me today.”

Lemira looked surprised. “What did he want? Don’t tell me he was trying to borrow money?”

“If he only wanted to borrow money, I might actually think better of him. Your Asher tried to pursue me—said he still couldn’t forget me.”

Stella’s eyes were full of scorn. “Does he have something wrong with his head? He must think that someone with a disability like me couldn’t possibly find another man.”

“Don’t think like that. Really, it’s Asher who’s got problems—arrogant and self-important. Just ignore him.”

Lemira realized she had underestimated just how shameless the Langstons could be.

She said, “It’s probably because of the money Evelina transferred. The Langston Group is desperate for funding right now. If they lose the money for this project, the whole company could go under.”

Stella replied, “That’s actually a good thing for you.”

The words caught Lemira off guard for a second before she nodded. “It is, actually. It really is.”

“Asher used to rely on the Langston Group to treat you so badly, and even used the company’s resources to sabotage you. Once the Langston Group goes bankrupt, he’ll be left with nothing. I’d like to see how high and mighty he acts then.”

Lemira looked at the message, not entirely convinced.

Could they really have gotten the whole truth out of Evelina that easily? Evelina wasn’t naive—she understood what would happen if she confessed to everything.

Stella glanced at Lemira and asked, “So, will you go back?”

“Of course I will. If I don’t go, how would I know what they’re planning? This is the perfect time to go back and see it all unfold.”

Besides, the Langston Estate was in her name now. She could go back whenever she wanted—she didn’t have to answer to anyone.

Lemira rested in her dorm for a bit before receiving a call from Debby. “Ms. Langston, we checked the repair shop. All of the mechanics are still there, except for Galloway—he’s the only one who left.”

So, Evelina’s father hadn’t run off yet?
