When They Beg I Rise (Lemira) novel Chapter 341

Lemira's expression was eerily calm, sending shivers down Evelina's spine.

This was unsettlingly out of character.

After all, Lemira was never one to play by the rules. That witch definitely had something up her sleeve.

Asher, on the other hand, seemed somewhat pleased: “It’s good you’ve come to your senses now. Don’t get cocky just because you won once. If you want to make it in Orvin, you’ll ultimately need the support of us, the Langston family.”

Lemira let out a scoff: “Rely on the Langston family, for what? To starve? Your team competitions are a flop, and your AI projects tanked.”

Asher’s face soured: “Didn’t Lucian say he’d hand over the company to you? Once you get back, quit your job at Maple Group, and tell the director it was their scheme that got the Langston Group disqualified from the bidding!”

“Mr. Asher, did you forget to brush your teeth this morning? Because you’re talking big!”

Lemira’s eyes twinkled with mockery.

Seeing Lemira's expression, Asher was puzzled: “What's that supposed to mean? I arranged all this for your benefit. Once you get Lucian’s company, working for the Langston family is what you should be doing. Not working with outsiders, let alone competing against our own company! Now, call the director and clarify things, then have the lawyer drop the lawsuit!”

Lemira laughed: “Who said I was dropping the lawsuit?”

Asher was taken aback, then angered: “Are you playing games with me? You agreed just now, didn’t you?”

“Did I? Don’t flatter yourself.”

“So, when you said my words made sense, wasn’t that an acknowledgment?”

Lemira replied casually: “Ah, right, I did say that. You want me to drop the lawsuit, which is impossible. But, I might consider suing just one person.”

Asher eyed her warily: “What do you mean?”

“Exactly what I said. Evelina or Alaric, pick one. I’ll only sue one, and the other gets off scot-free.”
