When They Beg, I Rise!

Chapter 227

After Lemira finished speaking, Evelina couldn't hold back her laughter, covering her mouth as she let it out.

"Lemira, don't be so naive. Asher has always been tight with people from the Everhart Group. They've got a solid relationship. This meeting is just a formality."

Ever since Evelina moved to Orvin and witnessed the bustling life of the big city, she realized how backward her hometown was.

There was no way she was going back to that place to redo a year of studies. She was determined to stay in the city, aiming to snag a wealthy heir.

As the elevator doors slid open, Evelina, hand-in-hand with Asher, stepped inside, casting a gloating glance at Lemira who was left outside, "You might want to wait for the next one. After all, we're not exactly playing in the same league, are we?" Asher, his face set in a stern expression, didn't even spare Lemira a glance.

Lemira had once deliberately tampered with the company's firewall, causing Asher a significant loss and nearly turning him into an industry laughingstock.

Now that he had finally stabilized the situation, Asher swore he'd make Lemira regret her actions, dreaming of the day she'd come crawling back to the Langston family for mercy.

That day, he'd relish teaching Lemira a lesson she wouldn't forget.
