When They Beg, I Rise!

Chapter 533

Lemira really didn't want to apologize. But with Mrs. Grace Draven causing such a scene, the charity bake sale was doomed, and it would surely become the talk of the town. Asher was watching her intently. Evelina chimed in with a smug look, "Lemira, it's obviously your fault for not planning this event properly. Just apologize to Mrs. Grace Draven. She's not the type to hold grudges." If Lemira offended Mrs. Grace Draven, how would she ever win her favor again? Lemira, you fool, stop pretending to be so high and mighty!

Finally, Lemira approached Mrs. Grace Draven. "I'm sorry, Mrs. Grace Draven. I didn't think this through. If you're unhappy with the pastries, I can prepare a special batch just for you."

"A special batch? What am I, royalty or something?" Mrs. Grace Draven looked at her with disdain, clearly unimpressed by the Langstons' desperate attempts to climb the social ladder. Evelina quickly added, "Mrs. Grace Draven, what would make you happy? Lemira is willing to do anything."

"Oh, really?" Mrs. Grace Draven glanced at the dessert that had fallen to the ground and then back at Lemira. "Didn't you say these pastries are delicious? Go on, pick it up and eat it, and I'll forget you insulted me."

Lemira looked at the dust-covered pastry. It was a deliberate challenge. Asher frowned. "Mrs. Grace Draven, isn't that a bit much?"

Lucian stepped forward, shielding Lemira. “Mrs. Grace Draven, Lemmy is young and made a mistake. If word gets out about this, what will people think of you?"
