When They Beg, I Rise!

Chapter 452

"You're overthinking it. No one's tailing me. The Langstons hardly give a damn about me now. Your death didn't earn their genuine care!"

Evelina's voice cracked with emotion, recounting the countless grievances she endured within the Langston household. After years of playing it small and submissive, just because Lemira had the guts to walk away, it made her brothers regret their negligence. How she loathed them.

Despite doing so much more than Lemira, why was her effort and sacrifice invisible to them?

"It's good that you've come to realize this. I've been telling you not to be so blindly devoted to the Langstons, and now you're tasting the bitter consequences. We're your real family."

"Now I know, and I swear, the Langstons will regret ever crossing me."

Evelina was fuming, her eyes red with unshed tears, vowing never to let the Langstons, including Lemira, off the hook.
