When They Beg I Rise (Lemira) novel Chapter 896

Stella followed his gaze and instantly recognized her aunt's car.

"It's the Waverlies," she said tightly. "They must have realized the contract was fake."

Lemira raised an eyebrow. "They'd have to be brain-dead not to figure it out by now."

The two exchanged a look and stepped out of the car. They always knew this confrontation was inevitable.

But with Caleb standing right there, Lemira wasn't worried in the slightest.

Sure enough, the car aggressively screeched to a halt nearby.

Mrs. Waverly stormed out, her eyes bloodshot with rage the moment she spotted Stella.

"Stella Waverly!" she snarled. "You actually dared to conspire with that little homewrecking slut to play me?!"

In Mrs. Waverly's eyes, Stella's stepmother was nothing but a cheap tramp who wasn't even fit to shine her shoes.

Lemira scoffed loudly. "It's rich hearing the person who used literal kidnapping and extortion call anyone else names. I've never seen someone so utterly shameless."

She had been harboring a fierce grudge over what Mrs. Waverly had done to Stella.

Hearing that, Mrs. Waverly's fury boiled over. She pointed a trembling finger at Lemira. "And you! You helped her do it, didn't you?"

How else would that spineless stepmother have suddenly grown a backbone?

Stella stepped forward, placing herself firmly in front of Lemira.

Her face was stony. "You tried to steal my assets using illegal force. You're the despicable one here, Auntie."

"W-What did you just say to me? Lemira has thoroughly corrupted you. You actually have the nerve to talk back to me?!"

Mrs. Waverly was vibrating with anger. "I never should have arranged for you to share a dorm with her!"

Stella used to be so obedient, so easy to manipulate.
