When They Beg I Rise (Lemira) novel Chapter 277

“Asher, you can get someone to check the café's surveillance footage!”

After saying this, Lucian glanced at Evelina, “The café's footage will prove I'm telling the truth, including her begging on her knees.”

Evelina was so nervous she couldn't even lift her head, her forehead breaking out in a cold sweat.

Asher frowned, “Lucian, I’ll trust you one more time. But if the footage doesn’t back up your story, don’t blame me for doubting you.”

“Fine.”

Lucian’s voice was icy, “Evelina, aren’t you going to tell the truth now?”

“Lucian, I am telling the truth.”

Evelina couldn’t meet Lucian’s gaze, but she couldn’t admit to what she hadn’t done either.

If they actually got the surveillance video, she would need a good excuse. Having already lost Lucian’s trust, she couldn’t afford to lose Asher’s as well.

Maybe she should contact that man, Evelina thought, picking up the fruit tray, “Asher, I’ll go wash some more fruit.”

“Hold it! You’re not leaving until we get the café’s surveillance. Just so you don’t contact someone from the Sinclair family to interfere!”

Lucian knew Evelina didn’t have the means, but the Sinclair family did! Evelina had no choice but to stand still, her anxiety peaking with each passing second.

Soon, Asher received a call from his secretary, “Did you get the surveillance footage?”

“What, the café caught fire last night, and all the surveillance was destroyed?”

Asher only found the whole situation odd.

Hearing this news, Evelina breathed a sigh of relief. The fire was a stroke of luck; she had dodged a bullet! Whether it was that man’s doing or the Sinclair family’s intervention didn’t matter. She was safe.
