When They Beg, I Rise!

Chapter 324

"It's not me, Asher, I swear! It has nothing to do with me!"

"But it was you two who came together earlier. Yeah, it was Eve doing all the talking, but you knew all about it and you were in on it too. And now that it's all coming out, you're saying it's got nothing to do with you?" Hearing Asher's words made Alaric feel like he was about to lose it.

He really hadn't done anything; it was all Evelina's idea!

Alaric turned to Evelina: "You tell him. Tell Asher whether it was all you. I even tried to stop you!"

Evelina bit her lip, replying in a soft voice, "Yes, you're right, Asher. It's all me."

Asher pulled Evelina closer: "Alright, don't be scared of Alaric. I've got your back. You don't have to take all the blame by yourself."

Evelina nodded obediently: "If Lemira insists on pursuing this, then let her come after me. Don't let it affect Alaric's future."

"Evelina, what are you talking about?"

Alaric couldn't believe what he was hearing. This whole mess had nothing to do with him!
