When They Beg I Rise (Lemira) novel Chapter 921

Orion got into his car, his expression freezing over. He dialed Amanda's number immediately. The line connected, but it was met with dead silence.

After a heavy pause, Orion broke the quiet. "Don't ever fall for the Sinclair family's sweet talk again."

Amanda covered her mouth, her muffled sobs breaking through. She had just heard her best friend's vicious words with her own ears, and it had struck her like a bolt of lightning. Never in her wildest dreams could she have imagined that Amelia was actually using her.

Orion waited a moment before speaking. "You should get some rest. I'm hanging up."

He immediately dialed Matthew's number. "Where are you?"

"Out at a karaoke bar with some buddies."

"Come home. Now." Orion's voice carried a tone of absolute command.

Matthew sounded a little reluctant. "What's the rush?"

"You'll see when you get back. Do not let anyone from the Sinclair family near Mom."

At the mention of the Sinclairs, Matthew's tone sharpened. "I'm heading back right now, but you have to tell me what's going on."

"Just get back first. We'll talk later."

Orion ended the call. Matthew didn't dare dawdle and rushed straight home.

Watching the Sinclair family's car drive away, Orion could easily guess who Amelia was going to see next. The truth was often brutal, but he knew his stepmother had a soft heart. With Matthew around, things would be kept under control. Only then did Orion let out a breath of relief.

As for Evelina's situation, a headache began to pulse at his temples. What was he supposed to do? Lemira was going to find out soon.

He stared out into the night sky, the darkness mirroring the somber depths of his gaze.
