When They Beg I Rise (Lemira) novel Chapter 487

Lemira's voice was dripping with sarcasm, "Well, I didn't expect Evelina to make her move so quickly."

After a moment of thought, she added, "Looks like Asher thinks you're more of a liability than an asset to the company now. That's why he's kicked you to the curb and put Evelina in your place. Even if I hadn't gone live or exposed all this, you'd still end up facing legal consequences."

That was Asher's true intention.

After all, Asher had sunk a ton of money into the entertainment industry and certainly didn't want to see it all go down the drain.

So, starting to cut ties now meant Asher was giving up on Caspian.

Upon hearing her words, Caspian was on the verge of breaking down, "You're right. Now I've hit rock bottom, worse than being in jail. Happy now?"

Caspian had never imagined he'd be abandoned by Asher,

Nor had he ever thought that Evelina, a mere driver's daughter, could under Asher's protection, not only take everything from Lemira but also from him!

Lemira let out a cold laugh, "Quite satisfied, actually."

Letting them experience what she had gone through was more than satisfying.

"Lemira, you should've agreed to team up with me. Once Evelina gets her hands on all your assets, it'll be too late."

"Ha! Now you're panicking? When Evelina took everything from me, you just stood by and told me to be 'magnanimous'. And now that she's taking your company, you're feeling wronged? Is that it?"

Lemira's words were like a knife, plunging deep into Caspian's heart.

Caspian was speechless for a long moment, finally managing a feeble, "I've gone through what you went through, and now I understand the injustice you felt."

"Well, you had it coming!"

Lemira cut off Caspian's further attempts to justify himself.

In a breakdown, Caspian pleaded, "Lemira, I'm sorry, truly sorry. It was my arrogance, my fault."

His voice was choked with emotion, seemingly filled with genuine regret and remorse.

Lemira chuckled lightly, "You might as well go cry to Asher, maybe he'll have a change of heart. After all, blood is thicker than water, right?"
