When They Beg, I Rise!

Chapter 352

Lemira nodded, a determined gleam in her eye, "I'll figure something out. I'm aiming to secure some sponsorships soon."

She was off to a networking dinner that evening, a gathering ripe with potential sponsors from various companies. It was the perfect opportunity to drum up some financial support for their base. Just the day before, at the tournament, she had boldly claimed that the Orvin University Team would advance all the way to the finals.

One had to wonder if any of the sponsors present had the foresight to invest early!

After class, Lemira headed straight to Maple Group.

Entering the conference room, she found the tech team already assembled. However, the moment she appeared, the discussion halted, and the atmosphere turned noticeably tense. "What's up?" Lemira inquired, sensing the shift.

The team leader looked at her, concern evident in his tone, "Lemira, did you not hear? Someone's been spreading word in the legal circles, warning off any lawyers from taking our case."

Really? Lemira's thoughts immediately flew to Asher, but it struck her as odd since she couldn't recall Asher having such influence in legal circles. Could it be something orchestrated by Asher's fiancée? "I wasn't aware," she admitted, feeling slightly off balance.

"Don't sweat it. We just got wind of it too, but I'm sure the boss will handle it," one of her teammates tried to reassure her.

Everyone knew Lemira was Mr. Langston's sister, and despite their brother's favoritism making things tough for her, Lemira had shown remarkable independence by striking out on her own for college and beyond. As Lemira settled into her chair, her mood soured. Without legal representation, they stood little chance in court.
