When They Beg, I Rise!

Chapter 327

Lemira executed a perfect over-the-shoulder throw, sending Asher crashing to the ground.

The move was so swift and fluid, it took everyone a moment to even realize what had happened!

It wasn't until Asher was lying there, his face contorted in pain, that the reality of the situation sunk in.

Evelina was the first to snap out of it, rushing over to Asher's side. "Asher, are you okay?"

Asher managed a weak wave of his hand as he coughed, though it was clear he was anything but okay. Evelina turned to Lemira, frustration in her voice. "Lemira, how could you hit someone like that?"

Lemira brushed off her hands nonchalantly. "Wasn't he the one who started it?"

She had been secretly taking boxing classes just for this moment!

Evelina was at a loss for words. "But it's Asher. You could have seriously hurt him."

The head of Maple Group couldn't help but interject. "If Lemira hadn't defended herself, what was she supposed to do? Just stand there and take it?"

An outspoken colleague couldn't keep silent any longer. "Look, girl, your bias is showing. The one who throws the first punch is in the wrong! If this were taken to the police, Lemira would be in the clear for self-defense! Now I see why she chose to work here instead of living off her family's fortune. To anyone not in the know, you'd think Lemira was your servant!"

Evelina was left speechless, retreating to try and curry favor with Asher, the only person she felt she could rely on.
