When They Beg, I Rise!

Chapter 374

Gotta figure out who on earth hired Mr. Alfred.

Could it be something to do with the Everhart family?

Outside, Lemira stood by the window, catching a breath of fresh air.

"Don't beat yourself up, Lemira. After all, word has spread through Orvin's legal circles. No one's going to take on your case. That's just reality."

Evelina strolled in fashionably late, Dorian in tow.

They were clearly here for the spectacle.

Lemira turned her head, catching sight of Evelina's overly done-up appearance, her lips twitching in response.

Evelina now wore heavy makeup and a form-fitting dress, a far cry from her previously demure look.

Dorian, wrapping his arm around Evelina's waist, boasted to Lemira, "Told you, Lemira, this is Orvin. You gotta play by our rules here. You can't beat us."

"Yeah, Lemira, you might as well drop the lawsuit. Save yourself the embarrassment of a crushing defeat."

Lemira's face was etched with sarcasm. "Who said I'm dropping the lawsuit?"

"You can't even find a lawyer. Refusing to withdraw will only lead to humiliation!"

Evelina had barely finished speaking when Mr. Alfred approached.
