When They Beg, I Rise!

Was Evelina really thinking about the bigger picture?

Lemira hurled a cup at Evelina, the liquid splashing onto her. "She's only thinking about herself."

Evelina clutched her hand, looking hurt and upset, clearly too afraid to retaliate.

Asher immediately defended Evelina. "Lemira, how dare you get physical? You're becoming more and more outrageous."

"Yeah, I am outrageous. What are you gonna do about it?" Lemira's eyes gleamed with defiance, her demeanor sharp and unyielding.

Asher stared at Lemira, finally conceding. If this situation escalated, regardless of Evelina's schemes or Lemira's retaliation, it wouldn't bode well for the Langston family.

Asher tossed a signed document at Caspian. "You all think you're so independent now. Let's see how far you get!"

Lemira responded coolly, "Don't worry, the company will go further than you think."

Asher was in a foul mood as he glanced at Evelina. "You know what to tell the police, right?"

"I know," Evelina whispered, sensing Asher's frustration. Lemira had clearly put him in a difficult position, but Evelina was disheartened too.
