When They Beg I Rise (Lemira) novel Chapter 444

Asher was in a pickle, fuming over the mess he'd gotten himself into. There was no turning back now, only damage control.

Lemira returned to her hospital room. That evening, Orion, caught up with work, couldn't make it back but sent over a meal from Bistrova's.

Debby spoke up, "Ms. Langston, the police are expected to release preliminary investigation results tonight. We could go live later and clarify the situation. It'd be best if you wore your hospital gown, showcasing your injuries for added public sympathy."

"Got it."

Sure enough, not long after dinner, the police issued their preliminary findings.

"Following Ms. Langston's live broadcast of her ordeal, our thorough investigation has confirmed that Mr. Langston indeed engaged in violent behavior. More details will follow as our investigation deepens."

This statement quickly became trending news.

Given that Caspian was a notable celebrity, the revelation of his violent tendencies flipped public opinion against him overnight.

Caspian was now branded as a violent figure.

More allegations surfaced, claiming Caspian's temper was notorious behind the scenes, and he was prone to physical outbursts. There were stories of minor actors going deaf from his slaps, incidents that were previously swept under the rug but were now coming to light.

Seeing the tide turn, Lemira went live on her account, with a speech prepared by Debby.

Appearing on camera, Lemira looked pale, her injuries visible for all to see. No makeup was needed to emphasize her plight.

"Everyone knows my family life has been troubled. They once refused to let me accept an offer from Orvin University, wanting to keep me close. But I fought hard to leave the Langston household, to start anew, yet they wouldn't let me be.

Live streaming is the only weapon I have to reveal Caspian's true face.

He's always been quick to violence; any disobedience on my part was met with physical punishment..."

With her face ashen and eyes red, Lemira detailed the events leading up to the live broadcast.
