When They Beg, I Rise!

Chapter 535

Mrs. Amanda's words carried significant weight, and her intent was crystal clear. Asher's face turned ashen. The Langston family couldn't afford to offend the Draven family, let alone the Everhart family. Everyone present watched the scene unfold, too afraid to utter a word. After all, no one wanted to cross the Everhart family.

Evelina was on the verge of tears, choking out, "Asher, I had no idea this was Mrs. Amanda. Lemira could have warned me, but she didn't say a thing." If only Lemira had given her a heads-up, she wouldn't have offended Mrs. Amanda.

Asher turned to Lemira, demanding, "Why didn't you say anything?" This mess could have been avoided!

Lemira let out a sarcastic laugh, "And you're questioning me?" She had just realized that this sophisticated lady was Mrs. Amanda, Matthew's mother. The Langston family hadn't changed at all.

Mrs. Amanda stepped in front of Lemira, addressing Asher icily, "Why are you yelling at her? She didn't even know who I was, and she did nothing wrong!" Lemira looked at Mrs. Amanda standing protectively in front of her, feeling a wave of gratitude.

Mrs. Amanda then turned to Lemira, her tone softening considerably, "Earlier, when I wasn't feeling well, it was Lemira who helped me to the lounge. Meanwhile, your so-called adopted sister was busy obstructing her. Such poor manners!"

Asher's face shifted through shades of embarrassment, unable to muster a response. Evelina dared not speak either, mumbling, "I just wanted to quickly bring some food to Mrs. Grace Draven."

"Don't drag me into this. I never asked you to do any of that," Mrs. Grace Draven quickly interjected, addressing Mrs. Amanda politely. "I was merely testing the Langstons' attitude. It seems the rumors are true-they favor the adopted sister over the biological one."
