When They Beg, I Rise!

Chapter 390

She couldn't let the Langston family get under her skin.

They were practically strangers!

Lemira eyed the two men before her, "I'm going to hit the restroom."

After her words, she left the office. The blood on the floor was still there, but a janitor had already come to clean it up.

Once Lemira was out of sight, Thaddeus couldn't help but criticize, "You could show a little empathy, man. This was the time to walk Lemira out, maybe comfort her a bit."

"She's no delicate flower needing constant care!"

Orion glanced at the blood on the floor, "Seems like the Langstons haven't learned their lesson yet."

"They do need a lesson, but remember, the Langston Group started as a branch founded by Lemmy's parents. Even the company's name and location were chosen by her parents. Wouldn't she be devastated if it went under?" After all, it was a part of her heritage.

Orion's expression was icy as he turned and left the office, heading towards the restroom as well.

He saw Lemira had taken to the emergency stairs.

There she was, sitting alone on a step, lost in thought.

The image of Lucian cutting his wrist, the blood dripping, haunted her.
