When They Beg I Rise (Lemira) novel Chapter 530

Lemira glanced at Evelina with a cold intensity. "You better get your act together. Do you really think Asher will tolerate your nonsense a second time?"

Evelina let out a derisive snort. "You're just jealous because Asher has been kind to me. That's why you're back at the Langston estate, trying to take what's mine."

"Yours?" Lemira's eyes darkened. "Everything you have was originally mine. I'm the rightful Ms. Langston. You only pick up what I leave behind."

Evelina was instantly infuriated. "We'll see who regrets it in the end."

"Bring it on," Lemira retorted, her voice low and icy. "I'm not the pushover I used to be. I'm going to reclaim what's rightfully mine and kick you out of the Langston estate!"

With that, Lemira turned on her heel and left, leaving Evelina seething. She knew Lemira's return meant trouble, a threat to her already precarious position in the family.

Meanwhile, Evelina spotted Mrs. Grace Draven at the charity event and quickly approached her, feigning delight. "Mrs. Grace, what a surprise to see you here."

Mrs. Grace Draven, dressed modestly but with a designer bag slung over her shoulder, responded with a cool detachment. "Please, call me Mrs. Grace Draven. We hardly know each other."

She wouldn't have attended if not for the Waverlies' influence.

Evelina, unperturbed, continued to hover around Mrs. Grace Draven, eager to impress.

Lemira spotted Mrs. Grace Draven too and was mildly surprised. It was likely the Waverlies' influence that brought her here. Instead of joining them, Lemira went to check on the food preparation.

She noticed a woman who seemed a bit unwell and hurried over. "Are you alright? Should I call a doctor?"

The woman waved her off. "I'm fine."

Upon closer inspection, Lemira realized she knew the woman, having seen her at the Everhart family's private hospital once before.
