When They Beg I Rise (Lemira) novel Chapter 338

Live and let live, unless they throw the first punch!

Sad to say, those rich boys wouldn't dare to make a move!

Dorian was so infuriated, he was determined to teach Lemira a lesson.

But this had to stay under the radar; his mom probably wouldn't approve of Evelina's background, and the only person he could turn to was his cousin: Thaddeus.

Dorian dialed Thaddeus: "Cuz, I need your help with something."

"What have you gotten yourself into now?"

"Not me, it's my girlfriend; she's run into some trouble."

"Which one? You've got so many, can you even keep track?"

Dorian felt a bit sheepish: "This one's for real. I met her back in Lyria, and now she's at Orvin University Business School."

Thaddeus raised an eyebrow, wondering if it was Evelina.

"Cuz, my girlfriend got a lawyer's letter. Something about this Maple Group planning to sue. Don’t you know a hotshot lawyer? Maybe give them a call, warn off Maple Group's legal eagles."

Thaddeus burst into laughter, incredulous: "Living the easy life and now trying to talk tough?"

"Cuz, please, I'm begging you."

"Sure, I'll help."

"Thanks a ton, cuz."

Dorian hung up, feeling quite pleased with himself.

Thaddeus, on the other hand, was fuming, muttering under his breath: "What's with this girl, casting a spell on Dorian, making him fight her battles?"

And now roping him into finding a lawyer!

Absolutely toxic!

Thaddeus immediately called Orion to fill him in.

Orion's tone turned icy: "Is your cousin looking for trouble?"

"He's been off his rocker since we were kids. Just letting you know, I'll handle the lawyer stuff. No need for you to step in."

If Orion got involved, Dorian was in for a world of hurt.

Currently, the Sinclair family was already dealing with business headaches, losing their former swagger.

She had improved a lot and didn't want to risk injury.

After her workout, lying on the floor, catching her breath, she half-expected him to show up at any moment.

But he didn't come today.

Well, Orion had proved his point yesterday.

Post-shower, Lemira, gym bag in tow, leisurely made her way back to school.

Reaching her dorm, she spotted a familiar, yet unwelcome, figure.

The Langstons, always lurking around?

Lucian, with a hint of pleading: "Lemmy."

"We're not close, don't call me that."

Lemira headed straight for her dorm, but Lucian grabbed her wrist, only to be forcefully shaken off, nearly tumbling over.

Lemira glanced at her hand, surprised by her own strength.

Hogan rushed out: "Ms. Lemira, the boss is seriously ill."
