When They Beg I Rise (Lemira) novel Chapter 988

At the time, she had seen Orion with Mr. Alfred and assumed he was there to bail out Mrs. Amanda.

She hadn't realized she had completely misunderstood him.

Lemira gripped her phone tightly. "Okay. When are you free?"

"Later. Around eleven."

"Got it. See you at the entrance of the remand center."

After finishing the call, Lemira hung up.

She looked at the bare trees nearby and pulled her jacket tighter. The temperature had suddenly dropped.

Lemira then called Lucian Langston, telling him to bring Evelina to the remand center on time.

"Understood. I'll arrange it right away," Lucian replied.

Asher Langston's voice drifted over from the background. "Did Orion really agree that easily?"

His words carried a sharp sting of skepticism.

Lemira's voice dripped with sarcasm. "What else? Did you think everyone is like you—breaking promises and constantly moving the goalposts?"

Asher's face twisted in anger, but Lucian decisively hung up the phone.

He glared at Asher. "Asher, can you stop talking to Lemira like that from now on?"

"What did I do? I'm her oldest brother! Can't I say a few words? You know exactly the state the Langston Group is in. PZ Group's subpoenas are being mailed directly to our house. What are we supposed to do?"

Thinking about it, Asher glared furiously at Evelina. "And you still want money? You embezzled so much from the company, and your father squandered it all. You owe the Langston family for the rest of your life."

Evelina lowered her head, not daring to speak. She couldn't deny the embezzlement.

If the Langston family decided to press charges, she would end up in jail too.
