When They Beg I Rise (Lemira) novel Chapter 990

But now, here was Orion, obediently showing up to testify for Lemira. And judging by that look in his eyes, he was far from being over her.

Evelina practically ground her teeth to dust. Why did that bitch Lemira get so lucky? How did she keep such a wealthy, powerful man so obsessively hooked?

And what about herself? She had schemed and plotted, only to end up stuck with a useless piece of trash like Evander.

In what world was she inferior to Lemira?

Soon, Hale was brought out to the visitation room.

Lemira looked at Hale. "Do you see him? Orion came personally. He has agreed to testify in court. Now you don't have to worry, do you?"

Hale looked up at Orion. "I didn't think you'd go this far. Are you really abandoning your stepmother? She was involved in this too."

"That's none of your concern. The Everhart family has assigned her a lawyer."

Hale looked slightly taken aback, clearly calculating his next move.

Lemira stared him down. "Your condition has been met. What are you still hesitating for? Or do you not actually have any evidence?"

Hale cleared his throat. "Who said I don't? But how do I know the Everhart family won't back out? Once I hand over the evidence, will you people actually treat my daughter well?"

Lucian spoke up. "We can put all of that in a contract."

Hale nodded. "Fine. Draft the contract and bring it to me, then."

Lemira planted her hands firmly on the table. "Are you stalling for time?"

"I am not."

"Then why didn't you mention this contract condition earlier?"

Lemira locked eyes with Hale, scrutinizing every shift in his expression.

Hale coughed awkwardly. "I'm old. My memory isn't what it used to be."

At that moment, Sebastian stepped up beside Lemira. "Don't waste your breath on him. He's lying. Cancel the deal."
