When They Beg I Rise (Lemira) novel Chapter 484

"How come you get to push Lemira around using the clout of the Waverlies, and I can't give you a taste of your own medicine? Don't think I'm clueless about your engagement to that disabled daughter of the Waverlies, aiming for a piece of their fortune."

Matthew's words instantly drained the color from Asher's face.

Upon hearing the word 'engagement,' Lemira remembered that Asher indeed had a fiancée back in Orvin.

In both her past and present life, Asher seldom mentioned this matter.

So, the Waverlies' daughter was disabled. That explained why Asher always avoided the topic.

An infuriated Asher shot Matthew a glare. "You're the last person who gets to lecture me."

"Can't stand your kind of people, always poking your noses where they don't belong. What are you gonna do, bite me?"

Asher's face turned a livid shade of purple, clearly at a loss for words against Matthew.

All he could do was to turn his gaze to Lemira, his expression a mix of frustration and disbelief. "I sure underestimated you."

Evelina chimed in nonchalantly, "Lemmy here has always been quite popular, even Mr. Draven enjoys a good rapport with her, you know."

Matthew's face soured at that, interpreting it as a dig at Lemira's personal life being a mess.

He whipped out his phone, offering to Evelina, "How about we exchange contacts?"

Evelina, flattered by the gesture, hurried to take out her phone.

Was Matthew finally seeing Lemira's true colors?

But then, in the next second, Matthew retracted his phone. "Did you really think I wanted to add you on WhatsApp? Any guy can get your number, huh? Seems like your personal life is pretty lax."

Evelina's face froze, mortification written all over it.

Asher couldn't help but intervene. "Mr. Everhart, that's a bit harsh, don't you think?"
