When They Beg, I Rise!

Chapter 516

Lucian threw a punch at Asher, his frustration evident. "What about Lemmy? She was hurt!"

Asher's face was impassive. "I'll make it up to Lemira for the harm she's endured, and Zack will be held accountable. But we can't involve the police or let this go public!"

"This isn't the right time for that discussion. We're all men here, not the best suited to handle this. Let's have Evelina come over," Caspian suggested just as the

bathroom door opened and Lemira walked out.

The room fell into silence, everyone stunned.

Lucian hurried over to Lemira. "Lemmy, are you alright?"

Lemira shrugged, shaking her head lightly. "What's supposed to be wrong with me?"

Caspian's eyes widened in disbelief. "Then who the heck is on the bed?"

Asher felt a sinking feeling. He walked over, pulled back the blanket slightly, and was shocked to see Evelina's face. He stumbled back, startled. "It's Evelina."

Lucian was bewildered. "What on earth is happening?"

Asher turned to Lemira, his anger simmering. "Did you orchestrate this?"
