Chapter 372

Lemira smirked, "Since you're so concerned about me not finding a lawyer, why don't you just admit to the judge that it was all your doing? Then I won't need a lawyer at all." Alaric instantly clammed up.

"What, cat got your tongue? Weren't you all 'big brother knows best' a second ago? Now that it's actually for my benefit, you're not so keen?"

Lemira's words cut deep, landing straight in Alaric's heart.

Taking a deep breath, Alaric said, "Lemira, come on, I'm your brother. Are you really going to throw me under the bus?"

He knew he had messed up before.

He also realized Evelina was no saint.

Why couldn't Lemira just give him a chance to make things right?

Lemira laughed: "Let's get one thing straight. You're taking the fall for Evelina's schemes, pushed into the spotlight by Asher. It's not me trying to lock you away. They are the ones who want you behind bars, to carry their sins." Alaric's face paled, struggling to maintain composure.

Choking up, he said, "I truly want to make it up to you."

Lemira felt a wave of disgust. Why couldn't these people be genuine? Why the facade?

Fuming, she turned to Alaric, "Alright, you want a chance to make amends? Turn yourself in to the judge."
