When They Beg I Rise (Lemira) novel Chapter 383

Lemira couldn't help but feel a surge of satisfaction as she watched Asher fuming in front of her. There was something oddly gratifying about seeing him lose his cool.

Upon hearing her words, Asher exploded, "Lemira, you dare make me beg you?!"

"Why not?"

"I'm your brother, Asher!"

His eyes were bloodshot, his chest heaving with each breath, a mix of shock and disappointment directed at Lemira. She had actually made him beg.

Lucian stepped in, trying to calm the storm, "Asher, take a breather, man!"

"I can't just 'take a breather'! Do you have any idea what it took to build The Langston Group?"

Asher was livid, pointing a finger at Lucian, "All these years, I hustled alone, enduring so much, making money to support all of you. And this is how you repay me?"

Lucian hesitated, then said, "Asher, if you want Lemmy's help, maybe try asking nicely, instead of treating her like an enemy."

"Be nice? After what she did?"

Asher was furious, turning to Lemira, "I poured my heart and soul into that company. You once lived a life of luxury because of it!"

Lemira scoffed, "You're really putting a big hat on me, Mr. Asher. Maybe you should just sell hats. Who knows? You might strike it rich."

Lucian, ever the peacemaker, interjected, "Lemmy, can you just... not?"

"Why should I?"

Lemira stood her ground, "You guys stormed into the company with accusations, claiming I embezzled from The Langston Group. You didn't trust me. Now, after I've proven myself, you're trying to pin this on me?"

Lucian, attempting diplomacy, replied, "It's our fault for not trusting you. I'm sorry, okay?"

"And what's your apology worth? Is saying 'sorry' supposed to be some big achievement?"

Lemira's tone was ice cold.

Asher, unable to stand it any longer, pointed at Lemira, "Lucian already apologized. What more do you want?"
