When They Beg, I Rise!

Lemira stared at Asher, disbelief etched across her face. She hadn't expected him to actually have a lead.

It felt like familiar, recalling how in a past life, Asher had somehow offended a powerful family, nearly bankrupting his company.

Could it be related to this?

Suddenly, Alaric approached her, his eyes brimming with guilt.

In a hoarse voice, he said, "Lemira, remember how I used to take you out to play? I'd walk you to and from school, always stepping in whenever Caspian was too rough on you.

I admit, I had selfish reasons this time. I wanted revenge for the humiliation of losing the game after you left the team.

Now, I've lost everything, my reputation in tatters. Could you maybe, for the sake of our old times, not sue me?"

Lemira wasn't surprised by his plea.

After all the sweet talk, he still wanted her to drop the lawsuit.

Caspian chimed in, "Lemira, Alaric's team is disbanded, and he's paid a hefty sum in damages. He's suffered enough, don't you think?"

Seeing Alaric so humbled before her didn't bring Lemira any satisfaction.

All she wanted was to know who was responsible for the hit-and-run that year.

She wanted them to pay.
