When They Beg I Rise (Lemira) novel Chapter 561

Lemira never imagined she'd actually stumble upon a clue by just waiting for the right moment.

It seemed her decision to head back to the Langston family and pressure Evelina to slip up was spot on.

"Ms. Langston, the person in the photo looks different from the previous ones."

Lemira had also received the photos Debby sent over. The middle-aged man behind the wheel wasn't Evelina’s father.

But seeing as it was another car from that dealership, it suggested a connection between Evelina's father and this man.

The clues were piling up, and it seemed like Lemira was getting closer to the truth.

She whispered, "Keep digging."

She didn’t say much more. After all, they were at the Langston estate, and it was best to tread carefully.

“Ms. Langston, there's a scandal brewing with the suppliers about kickbacks, and several foundations are caught up in it, including Ms. Sinclair with Aurora Trust. The Waverlies are trying to keep the media quiet, but it’s still causing quite a stir.”

“I see.”

After she hung up, Lemira felt this wasn’t just a coincidence; someone had orchestrated this.

With everyone entangled in this mess, no one would focus on the fake sanitary pads scandal involving the Langston family.

Could it have been Asher?

But the Waverlies got dragged into this too. Was Asher really not afraid of upsetting them?

As Lemira freshened up and headed downstairs, she heard Asher in a heated argument, “Evander, have you lost your mind? You’ve involved so many families. Can our Langston family really afford to cross them?”

“Asher, my strategy was to pull the rug out from under everyone. This way, no one will dare laugh at the Langston family over expired sanitary products. After all, no one's hands are clean now.”

“And you didn’t think to discuss this with me first?”

She blamed Lemira for everything. If it weren’t for her attending that charity event, none of this would have come to light.

“Asher, there’s no need for violence. Did you forget Evelina’s father died saving your parents? Our Langston family owes her that much!”

Asher was taken aback and momentarily speechless.

He had often used those words against others, especially Lemira, but hearing them turned back on him today felt unsettling.

He couldn’t argue against it, leaving him both angry and frustrated.

Asher adjusted his tie, catching a glimpse of Lemira standing on the stairs, which only fueled his anger. “Lemira, you’re enjoying the show, aren’t you? This is all your doing!”

“What did I do? Was it me taking kickbacks and buying expired sanitary pads, or was it me exposing the suppliers' kickbacks with the foundations?”

Lemira’s words were sharp, leaving Asher at a loss for words.
