When They Beg I Rise (Lemira) novel Chapter 800

Lemira glanced at her. “Since it was all a misunderstanding, let’s just leave it at that.”

She walked over and opened the classroom door, only to find Susanna standing outside with a frosty expression. “Why did you come out?” Susanna demanded.

“Why shouldn’t I be allowed out?”

Lemira paid Susanna no mind, but Susanna blocked her path, refusing to move.

Sophia came out, frowning. “Susanna, step aside.”

“Sophia, did you get any news about Mom’s whereabouts?”

“This has nothing to do with Ms. Langston,” Sophia replied curtly, her mood just as sour.

Things were still unclear. If Lemira started getting suspicious, it would spell trouble for the Sinclair family.

If Lemira ever found out that Orion was involved in the car accident years ago, then Sinclair’s conscious cover-up back then would also be exposed—and Orion’s suspicions would only deepen.

No matter how much Sophia disliked Lemira, she couldn’t risk telling her the truth now.

“You heard her. It doesn’t involve me!”

Lemira glanced at Susanna and, with one finger, pushed her aside.

Susanna was not willing to give up. “But Evelina told me herself! There’s no way you’re not involved.”

“Evelina?”

A cold smirk tugged at Lemira’s lips. “Of course it was her. After I embarrassed her by showing that video at her wedding, she’d love nothing more than to drag my name through the mud.”

Sophia came over and pulled Susanna aside. “That’s enough. I’ve already gotten to the bottom of things.”

Lemira shot the Sinclair sisters a last look before turning and leaving.

Susanna stamped her foot in frustration. “Sophia, did you really get it all figured out?”

She still felt Lemira was somehow connected.

Who else would have such a serious grudge against the Sinclair family, if not Lemira?

Sophia considered for a moment before saying, “Get in touch with Evelina. I want to talk to her.”

She'd heard that Evelina was the driver’s daughter, who had been taken in by the Langston family for years.

Was it possible that Evelina knew about what happened back then?

If that was the case, they’d better make arrangements quickly.

Sophia felt surrounded by crisis—one wrong move and the consequences could be disastrous.

After coming downstairs, Lemira was met by Oanice rushing over. “Are you okay? They didn’t hassle you, did they?”

“Even together, those two couldn’t handle me.”

Lemira squeezed Oanice’s hand. “Don’t worry, I’m fine.”

From the questioning just now, it was clear Sophia knew about the old car accident, and what her mother had done.

But by the look of it, Sophia—just like her mother—apparently didn’t see anything wrong with what had been done.

A cold light flashed in Lemira’s eyes. Fine, then—let Sophia experience for herself what it’s like to lose her mother and taste that agony.

At that moment, Orion called Lemira. “There’s news from the dealership. Can you come by?”

Lemira felt a rush of excitement—of course she could.

She was determined that neither Evelina’s father nor the Sinclair family would escape justice.
