When They Beg I Rise (Lemira) novel Chapter 928

Evelina's eyes practically dripped with venom. "Lemira, Orion never told you about this, did he?"

A violent shudder racked Lemira's body. She truly had no idea that Orion had taken Evelina away the night before.

That man had kept her entirely in the dark.

In that moment, she had no idea what was real or who to believe anymore.

Lemira looked at Evelina. "Why did he take you to see the Sinclairs?"

She remembered Orion mentioning that Amanda had been hospitalized. Did he do something last night?

Evelina scoffed. "To confront Amelia, obviously! He threatened her to keep her mouth shut about the Everhart family's involvement, or else he'd destroy them."

Lemira lowered her gaze as the horrifying realization set in. Was Amanda truly involved?

After all, Orion had been in high school back then; he couldn't have had any stake in a corporate bidding war.

The only logical mastermind was Amanda.

A bitter, self-deprecating smile touched Lemira's lips. Orion had never once mentioned being in the back seat of that car. Had he planned on erasing all evidence connecting his family to the crash from the very beginning?

Evelina's smile widened into a grotesque sneer. "Think about it, Lemira. Isn't it obvious? He's been using you this entire time, and today, your usefulness has officially expired."

Lemira dug her fingernails into her palms, but the physical sting was nothing compared to the suffocating agony in her chest.

"You're lying," Debby interrupted fiercely. "Mr. Everhart is not that kind of person."

"Then why isn't he here right now? Because Lemira is useless to him now! The Sinclairs already agreed not to expose the Everharts last night, so why would he bother showing up?"

Evelina's smile turned razor-sharp. "Lemira, Orion never loved you. He used you to cover up his mother's crimes."

Lemira looked absolutely broken. With every word, Evelina ruthlessly shredded her last remaining shreds of hope.
