When They Beg I Rise (Lemira) novel Chapter 883

Lemira burst into laughter the moment she heard Asher's question.

"What's so funny, Lemira?"

Seeing her mocking smirk made Asher's blood boil instantly.

Lemira crossed her arms, her tone completely dismissive. "You know exactly why I'm laughing. Stella doesn't like you. Nothing you do now is going to change that."

"Lemira, I know you're her best friend, but you need to think about her future. I'm the only one who can truly give her happiness."

"Oh, please! What do you mean you're the only one who can give her happiness? Meeting you was the absolute worst luck of her life."

Asher's expression darkened. "I know I was in the wrong before, but my hands were tied. You know Stella's situation. Aside from me, every other guy who approaches her is just after her money. Who else would respect her the way I do?"

"Respect her? You're the last person on earth who gets to use that word."

Lemira was furious just listening to his arrogant delusion. She didn't even want to waste another breath on him.

But Asher refused to back down. "Lemira, as her friend, shouldn't you be looking out for her best interests? I plan on making it up to her. Once the company starts turning a profit, I'll pay her back every single cent."

Lemira reached out, snatched the bouquet of flowers from his hands, and threw it forcefully onto the pavement.

"What the hell are you doing, Lemira?"

"Mr. Langston, do you honestly think you're the smartest guy in the room? You think you can hurt people, slap on a fake apology, utter a few sweet nothings, and just sweep it all under the rug?"

Lemira looked at him with pure disgust. "You people haven't changed one bit."

"Then what do you expect me to do to make her accept me again?"

Asher stared at her, genuinely frustrated. "I have real feelings for Stella. She's a good woman, and I've already made up my mind to marry her and spend the rest of my life with her. Plus, I'm a decent catch. I've never messed around with other women."

Since he had used her money, he felt he had a duty to take responsibility for her.

Lemira rolled her eyes hard. "Do you seriously think Stella needs your pity? She already has someone she likes, and he's a million times better than you'll ever be."

With that, Lemira turned on her heel and walked away.

She found it utterly humiliating to be related to someone like him.

How could the Langston family be so shameless? They committed despicable acts and then demanded forgiveness, acting as if they were taking the high road by admitting their mistakes.
