When They Beg I Rise (Lemira) novel Chapter 211

Lemira heard Alaric's voice but didn't even bother to turn her head. She had nothing to say to anyone from the Langston family anymore.

Lemira got directly into the passenger seat, while Alaric tapped on the window, "Lemira, don’t take what Asher said to heart."

Lemira's gaze was icy, "I never take to heart what insignificant people say."

Insignificant people?

A sting of pain shot through Alaric's heart, and he stuttered, "Lemira, Asher's always been like this, cares too much about his pride. You publicly made those remarks, making him feel embarrassed, that's why he's angry. We're still family, aren't we? Does it have to come to this?"

Lemira chuckled, "Family? I cut ties with you all a long time ago. We're no longer family. Better we act like strangers from now on."

Orion stepped on the gas and drove off, leaving Alaric no chance to continue the conversation.

Watching the car disappear, Alaric slumped to the ground, took out his phone to message Lemira, only to realize he had already been deleted.

Recalling what he had said to Lemira before, he was filled with regret.

Asher stormed out, fuming, "Where's Lemira? How dare she speak out of turn in front of the media? I must teach her a lesson this time!"

"Asher, she's already gone. We’ve let her down, and that’s why she left the Langston family, we owe her."

"You idiot, still taking Lemira's side? I see she's become arrogant and defiant, all because you and Lucian spoiled her. Now she's relying on that school doctor? I'll have someone destroy her support. Just a mere school doctor, I can crush him with a flick of my wrist!"

Asher went completely berserk!

Seeing Asher's retreating figure, Alaric hurriedly called Lucian, "Lucian, it's bad. Today at the convention center, Lemmy was awarded the city's outstanding young achiever reward, but she declared in front of the media she's cutting ties with us. Asher's lost it, wants to go after her and that school doctor."
