When They Beg, I Rise!

Lemira certainly didn't expect Asher to be on the other end of the call.

Her voice was icy, "Where's Lucian?"

"Lucian? Who's that? You can't even bring yourself to call him brother, and you think you have rights to the Langston family's fortune? You're not even a part of the Langston family anymore. What makes you think you deserve anything?"

Asher felt a rush of triumph, finally having the upper hand over Lemira.

Lately, this girl had been nothing but a thorn in his side.

"In your dreams. Unless you drop the lawsuit against Caspian and Alaric, I won't give you anything. Otherwise, it all goes to Évelina. I mean what I say."

The call ended abruptly.

Lemira kicked the table in frustration, feeling utterly disgusted.
