When They Beg I Rise (Lemira) novel Chapter 722

Susanna’s face went instantly pale.

Sophia quickly grabbed Susanna’s arm. “You need to apologize to Ms. Langston right now.”

But Susanna looked reluctant, her expression tight with resentment.

Sophia turned to Lemira at once. “I’m so sorry, Lemira. My sister really shouldn’t have spread those rumors. I’ll make sure she clears things up for you on the campus forum, okay?”

She absolutely couldn’t let Susanna get into more trouble; the last thing Sophia wanted was a sister with a criminal record.

Lemira gave a sardonic smile and stood up. “Excuse me.”

She walked straight down to the stage, heading over to speak with the MC about her upcoming remarks.

Susanna whispered, “Lemira’s actually getting ready to speak? Is she the student representative?”

“No. The first person to speak is the company representative,” Sophia replied, her expression growing more complicated. Even if she didn’t want to admit it, Lemira clearly had some real ability.

Susanna was stunned. That woman—Lemira—a company representative? What right did she have?

Sophia could hardly keep her composure. She returned to her seat, already beginning to strategize.

She couldn’t let Lemira keep stealing the spotlight.

Soon, Lemira stood at the podium. “Good afternoon, everyone. My name is Lemira. I’m currently a freshman in the Computer Science department at Orvin University. But today, I’m not here as a student representative—I’m here as the company representative.”

Her words set off a wave of murmurs and envious glances throughout the auditorium.

Susanna’s face twisted in anger. “What’s she so smug about? She only got this far thanks to Mr. Everhart. She’s just putting on a show!”

Deep down, Susanna refused to believe Lemira could have achieved all this on her own.

But Sophia knew better. She’d sent people to look into Maple Group and confirmed that Lemira was genuinely capable—and truly the head of technology.
