When They Beg I Rise (Lemira) novel Chapter 192

Evelina noticed the expressions on the brothers' faces and braved up to confess, "I'm so sorry, it just slipped out unintentionally. It's all my fault."

Asher waved it off, "Eve, how could this possibly be on you? It's your brothers who pushed you into lying. They're in the wrong here!"

Lucian and Alaric felt unjustly accused.

Alaric couldn't hold back, "Asher, the whole thing about Lemira running away, it's actually all on me. I was the one who treated her poorly and bullied her. That's why she felt so hurt and left the Langston mansion."

Realizing the extent of his actions, Alaric wanted to make amends to Lemira. With an awkward look, Alaric glanced at Lemira, "I was wrong, truly. I won't be like this anymore."

He swore! He didn't want to cut ties with Lemira. She was his only sister, after all.

When Lemira heard Alaric's words, a mocking smile appeared on her lips, "A late apology is worth less than dirt. Move, I'm leaving!"

But the bodyguards at the door didn't budge.

At that moment, Asher received a call, "Lemira, you can't leave yet. The school board's coming over to investigate the cheating allegations. You better have a good attitude, otherwise even we can't save you."

Puzzlement was filled with Lemira's eyes.

Hadn't the school board already investigated? The principal had even told her to wait for further news! Something didn't add up.

Evelina, hearing about the school board's investigation, was gleeful. Pretending to care, Evelina said, "Lemmy, just own up later. Maybe the punishment will be lighter that way."

Lucian glared at Evelina callously, "What are you blabbering about? She didn't cheat!"

What was Evelina up to, constantly trying to tarnish Lemira's reputation?

Immediately, Evelina played the victim, "Lucian, it’s just for Lemmy’s own good."

Asher quickly stood up for Evelina, facing Lucian, "Eve's doing the right thing. You've just been spoiling Lemira, and that's why she turned out this way."
