When They Beg I Rise (Lemira) novel Chapter 904

Susanna had been so impossibly arrogant before, but now she was having a complete mental breakdown.

Lemira ignored her sobbing and walked straight into the classroom. Still, seeing Susanna's utter despair made her feel a twinge of irony.

Even though the Sinclair family were natural-born actors, Susanna probably wasn't lying when she offered to throw herself at her mercy.

But how could Lemira ever drop the charges just because of some desperate tears?

Absolutely impossible!

When Lemira sat down, Janice immediately leaned over. "Are you okay?"

"I'm fine. The Sinclair family is too busy trying to save their own skin right now. Susanna won't dare pull anything."

Lemira tossed the encounter out of her mind entirely.

But before heading to the police station, she needed to ensure they were prepared for any possible retaliation.

After classes ended, Lemira headed straight to Iron Haven Fitness, having agreed to meet everyone there.

When she walked in, the gym was completely empty of regular patrons.

The gym owner walked up to her with a smile. "Ms. Langston, we've cleared the floor today. It's just your group."

Lemira noticed the sign hanging on the front door: 'Closed for Interior Upgrades. See you in a week.'

She changed into her workout clothes and walked toward the boxing area, only to find two men trading brutal blows in the ring. The sparring match was intense.

So far, it was impossible to tell whether Orion or Caleb had the upper hand.

Stella was sitting quietly on the sidelines, watching them.

Lemira walked over. "How long have they been going at it?"

"About ten minutes."

Lemira looked up at the ring. "Caleb is really built, isn't he?"

Caleb and Orion were two completely different types of men.

Orion was tall and lean—the type who looked slim in a suit but had perfectly sculpted muscle underneath.

Caleb was massive and heavily built. Every inch of him radiated explosive power, like a predatory beast ready to strike.

Wait. Did they hear what she just said?

Lemira blinked rapidly. "I just realized I haven't warmed up yet! I'm going to hit the treadmill!"

She turned on her heel and bolted.

Orion watched Lemira run away, pressing his tongue against the inside of his cheek. Were girls' conversations really this wild nowadays?

He shot Caleb a highly amused look. "I yield, buddy."

Caleb remained completely silent.

Orion turned and went after Lemira. He was absolutely going to correct this girl's twisted mindset tonight.

Caleb stood perfectly still, lowering his gaze to look at Stella. His eyes were dark and predatory.

He took a step forward, closing the distance between them.

Stella was so terrified by his intense stare that her heart did a somersault. This man was going to be the death of her.
