When They Beg, I Rise!

The moment Lemira locked eyes with Asher, her pupils shrank.

She had always been terrified of Asher when he was serious. Every time Asher came back home, she would do her best to stay out of his way, dreading his scolding. But the moment he had kicked her out of the house in her previous life, she had given up hope.

Lemira looked up, her expression icy, "If the meeting's over and there's nothing else, I guess I'm leaving."

"Leaving to where?" Asher's gaze was callous, filled with an intimidating aura.

Alaric quickly stepped in to smooth things over, "She's heading back to the Langstons for sure, where else would she go, right, Lemira?"

Alaric was desperately winking at Lemira, hoping she would back down this time. With Asher's temper, Lemira might be in for a tough time otherwise.

Evelina chimed in with fake concern, "Lemmy, now that Asher's back, why don't you stop being so stubborn?"

Alaric shot Evelina a frowning glance. Why did she have to butt in like that? Knowing full well how stubborn Lemira could be.

Lemira lifted her eyes, her gaze cold, "I'm living on my own now, independently."

"Lemira, have you lost your mind?"

Alaric couldn't believe Lemira dared to answer Asher like that. Asher's question was meant to give her an out! But Lemira didn't take it!

Her tone was cool, her gaze defiant, "I'm perfectly sane."

Asher's face turned livid, "Lemira, I didn't want to believe you'd do something so outrageous. In just a few months, you've let that school doctor lead you astray!" "It's because I've had enough of the Langstons, it has nothing to do with Orion."

"You think I'd believe that?" Asher said with a grim face, "But too bad, you won't be seeing that man anymore."

Lemira's face turned pale immediately, "Asher, what are you planning to do to him?"

"What I do depends on your behavior just now. Unfortunately, you didn't pass my test, so now I'll make sure you fall in line with my own way." Lemira saw the bodyguards in the hallway and realized what was happening. She turned to Lucian, her eyes bloodshot, "So, this was all a setup?" Lucian hurried to explain, "Lemmy, I had no idea Asher would come to the hospital now."

"Enough, your explanations only make me sick."

Lemira felt her body chilly. In their eyes, she was never a complete person, just a puppet to be manipulated, forever expected to follow their script.

Asher raised his voice, "Lemira, don't

think just because you were the top student in the city, you've grown. bold. You cheated in the exams, if it wasn't for me, do you think you could've suppressed this?"

Lemira was expressionless, "First of all, I didn't cheat, so I don't need you to suppress anything."Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.

"Still acting tough! Everyone's seen your grades over the years. You think a sudden improvement in the last few months makes you the top few

student? You think no one would question your grades?"

Asher refused to believe Lemira could achieve such high scores.

Lucian intervened instantly upon hearing it, "Asher, Lemira's improvement is the result of her hard work. Her teachers all say she's capable. I believe she didn't cheat."

"Enough, you and Alaric are just

wrapped around Lemira's finger. She

throws a tantrum, and you just let

her? Even Eve told me the truth,

don't think you can hide it from me."

Asher was livid after finding out about Lemira's behavior.

Lucian and Alaric both looked at Evelina, feeling a tinge of discontent. They had agreed not to tell Asher about recent events. Why would Evelina do this?

For the first time, they were dissatisfied with Evelina, someone they considered sensible. How could she have done something like this?
