When They Beg I Rise (Lemira) novel Chapter 3

As Lemira appeared at the scene, all eyes turned towards her. With a stoic expression on her face, she stood unfazed by the attention.

Dressed in a simple T-shirt, her attire was overshadowed by the lavish accessories she adorned. A delicate golden tiara rested on her head, a necklace of emeralds hung around her neck, her wrists were adorned with jade and gold bracelets, and her fingers bore a large pink diamond ring.-

Laughter soon filled the room.

"Man, Lemira's so tacky, flaunting all those accessories like a nouveau riche."

"I bet Lemira's just showing off those expensive pieces on purpose, trying to make Evelina feel bad."

Lemira, unfazed, walked up to Evelina and said calmly, "Congratulations on finally becoming a Langston today."

In her previous life, Evelina's joining had marked the beginning of a nightmare for her.

No matter how much she tried to please or behave obediently, her brothers all favored Evelina, with Lucian even declaring he wished Evelina was their biological sister.

This time, Lemira vowed not to cling to such meaningless familial bonds.

Jealousy brewed in Evelina's heart as she saw the valuables on Lemira, though she managed to mask it with a composed expression.

Evelina shrank back a little, and then replied carefully, "Lemmy, I know you're upset, but don't worry, I won't compete with you for our brothers' affection. After all, I'll always be an outsider, and you're their real sister. How could I ever compare to you?"

As Evelina spoke, her eyes reddened. Lemira's lips curled into a sneer, thinking, "What a delicate wrench playing the innocent victim."

In her last life, Lemira was fooled by Evelina’s harmless facade until the bitter end when she finally saw the woman's true colors.

Caspian, witnessing this, quickly interjected, "Eve, don't cry. Who said you're an outsider? From today on, you're my true sister."

Evelina lowered her eyelids, hiding the flash of triumph.

Lucian presented a box, "Eve, this is a gift for you."

Evelina feigned surprise, "Lucian, isn't this supposed to be Lemmy's gift? I couldn't possibly accept it!"

Lemira wasn't surprised to see the limited edition collectible inside the box.

In her past life, Lucian had “kindly” made a decision for her to give Evelina the collectible she had long awaited as an apology.

Lucian insisted, "Just take it. It's what she owes you."

Caspian, discontent, remarked, "Lemira, even though Eve isn’t holding a grudge about you pushing her into the pool earlier, and Lucian has given her a gift on your behalf, where's your gesture of apology?"
