When They Beg, I Rise!

Chapter 379

Lemira wrinkled her nose in disgust, turning back to Orion. "You better head off first."

"Lemira, pushing me away so quickly, feeling guilty, aren't you? Afraid your broke boyfriend will find out he's not the only one spoiling you?"

Lemira turned back, facing Evelina's drunken slurs. "All this talk about being kept, seems like you know a lot about it."

"Lemira, cut the crap, you're just feeling guilty."

Evelina, looking over at Orion in the car, sneered, "You don't need to look so sour, Orion. Lemira's just cheating on you, kept by Mr. Draven no less, even got shares in the Maple Group."

Orion's eyes narrowed slightly.

Those shares were his gift to Lemira.

Evelina boasted, "For a school doctor as broke as you, you'll never make that kind of money in your lifetime. Guess you're the first one living off someone else here. But hey, you're pretty handsome. If you were with me, I could give you way more." She just couldn't stand Lemira playing both sides, especially with men so blindly devoted to her.

Dorian, that mommy's boy, ran home at his mom's call, not even daring to pick up her calls.

Evelina burped, her satisfaction evident. She wasn't having a good time, and she wasn't about to let Lemira have one either.

She intended to take everything from Lemira, including her man.
