When They Beg I Rise (Lemira) novel Chapter 522

Lemira fixed her gaze on Evelina. "Besides, I think Zack didn't commit suicide. He was murdered."

"That's impossible!" Evelina retorted immediately. "Zack was just feeling guilty and decided to end it himself. No one had a motive to kill him. We were all in our rooms last night; who would have done it?"

Asher looked at Lemira with disapproval. "If this blows up, it won't do either of your reputations any good."

"I couldn't care less," Lemira sneered, her eyes filled with malice and mockery. "I wasn't the one sleeping with Zack."

Evelina's anger flared. If the Langston family fortune hadn't been at stake, she might have gotten rid of Lemira last night.

Recalling her father's words, Evelina began to cry, "Asher, I can handle being wronged. But last night, Lemmy and I were in the same room. If word gets out, who would believe Lemmy wasn't involved?"

Caspian barked, "Evelina, shut up!"

Lemira pulled out her phone. "I've got video evidence. It's you who was with Zack."

Evelina gritted her teeth. "But people outside won't believe so-called evidence."

Asher rubbed his temples, feeling a headache coming on. "Lemira, what will it take for you to cooperate?"

"My demands are simple: give me what Mom and Dad left me and transfer your shares in the entertainment company to me."

That was the only way to strip Asher of his control over the company.

Asher clenched his jaw. "Lemira, you're taking advantage of a crisis."

"Oh, you caught me," Lemira laughed. "Those are my only terms. Agree, and I'll cooperate with the police."

"Lemira, you're dreaming. I won't agree."

Lemira laughed, turning to Evelina. "See? To our dear Asher, profit is the most important thing."
