When They Beg, I Rise!

Chapter 220

Evelina's face was swollen like a balloon, tears streaming down her cheeks as she pleaded, "Lucian, help me!"

When Lucian saw her state, his hands slowly clenched, "Eve, you were the one who said it, as long as Lemmy calms down, she can do whatever she wants. You gotta keep your word!" Evelina was instantly choked on his words. She had said that casually, not meaning it at all!

The butler stepped forward, separating them, "Ms. Langston, why are you attacking someone like that? Ms. Sterling just opened your school offer. She didn't touch your stuff. Why be so petty?" Lemira nearly stumbled as the butler pushed her. Raising an eyebrow, she retorted with a bold and sharp tone, "Yes, I am that petty."

"But Mr. Asher Langston made it clear, you're not to step foot in this mansion."

"Zack, who gave you the audacity to speak to Lemmy like that? She is Ms. Langston, your superior!"

Lucian's eyes blazed as he stared down the butler, "It seems I've been too kind over the years, letting you forget your place!"

Evelina quickly interceded, "Lucian, it's my fault. The butler was just standing up for me."
