When They Beg I Rise (Lemira) novel Chapter 382

"Do I need proof for this?"

Lemira's tone dripped with sarcasm. "Isn't that your favorite line? Always harping on about evidence when it's something to do with me?"

No evidence, so it's her fault, not Evelina's.

No evidence, so she’s slandering Evelina.

And now they're talking about evidence?

Asher's face turned red with anger at Lemira's smirk. Pointing a finger at her, he barked, "Don't give me that crap. Aside from spreading rumors, there's also the fact that my company's firewall has been under constant cyber attacks, leaving our system paralyzed now and then. Was it you?"

Hacked?

Lemira let out a laugh. "Seems like you've got plenty of enemies waiting to kick you when you're down."

"Who else but you could pull off something like this?"

Asher was fuming, his hand involuntarily balling into a fist, but the stern look in Lemira's dark eyes made him think twice, and he lowered his hand.

He subconsciously touched his arm where Lemira had hit him the day before. It was still bruised.

Lemira watched as Asher lowered his fist, a cold look in her eyes. Violence seemed to be an effective deterrent against him.

At least now he knew better than to try anything physical with her, aware he couldn't win.

Lucian coughed and stood up. "Lemmy, Asher's just a bit too anxious, don't take his words to heart."

Lemira was impatient. "You're not welcome here, just leave!"

"Lemira, I'm not leaving until you explain yourself. You hacked into my company's system. I need to know if any confidential information was leaked. You owe me an explanation!"

"An explanation, you say?"

Lemira opened Thaddeus' laptop with a straight face, her slender fingers dancing across the keyboard.

Code streamed across the laptop screen, and in no time, she had breached the Langston Group's system.

Lucian watched in surprise. He hadn't realized Lemira was this skilled.
