When They Beg I Rise (Lemira) novel Chapter 531

Lemira noticed the flustered look of the lady in front of her. "Yes, I am indeed part of the Langston family."

Mrs. Amanda pressed on, "Is Asher your brother?"

Reluctantly, Lemira nodded. She didn't want to admit it, but with Evelina there, she had no choice.

Mrs. Amanda found herself in a mix of laughter and disbelief. The girl Orion fancied was actually the sole survivor of that infamous car accident all those years ago! What a twist of fate!

Lemira quickly steadied the lady. "Are you alright?"

Evelina, pouting nearby, chimed in, "Lemira, didn't I tell you to bring back the pastries we took away? I need to entertain Mrs. Grace Draven and I've got no time to do it myself!"

Ignoring Evelina, Lemira helped the lady up. "Let me take you to the lounge to rest for a bit."

"Lemira, are you deaf? Mrs. Grace Draven is the guest of honor today!"

Lemira dismissed Evelina with a shove, sending her sprawling to the floor. Evelina scrambled up and rushed off to tattle to Asher. This time, Lemira was in real trouble. After all, Asher was keen on maintaining their connections with Mrs. Grace Draven.

Meanwhile, Lemira guided Mrs. Amanda to the lounge. She quickly poured her a cup of hot tea. "Are you sure you don't need to go to the hospital?"

"No, really, it's just a bit of low blood sugar," Mrs. Amanda fibbed. Her mind was still reeling, unable to find calm after the shock of encountering the family involved in that old accident. Even more astonishing was that Orion's crush was the daughter of that family!

Lemira brought over some cookies, placing them on the table. "Maybe a little snack will help."

Mrs. Amanda's eyes glistened with emotion. "Thank you, dear. What a twist of fate, indeed." She hadn't planned to attend, but with Mrs. Grace Draven coming, she had a convenient excuse to drop by. Little did she know, the Waverlies’ prospective son-in-law was tied to that fateful accident.

Lemira offered a gentle smile. "Today's charity bake sale was a bit hastily arranged. I hope you'll overlook any shortcomings."
