When They Beg, I Rise!

Chapter 542

"Dad, you won't believe what happened today. She actually made me pick up food from the ground and eat it!"

Evelina burst into tears. "Asher knew all about it, but he still let it happen. The Langstons are all the same-saying we're family by blood, and yet I'm always treated like an outsider!"

With just a slight nod, Lemira could easily step back into the Langston family, seize her old room, and wrest away the foundation and the entertainment company Evelina had fought so hard for.

The resentment burned within Evelina, but she didn't dare mention the video recordings.

"Eve, it's not too late to open your eyes. Do as I say-get hold of the donations and transfer them to the account I mentioned. Once the Al project is signed and Asher sends over the money, you won't have to put up with the Langstons anymore."

"Okay, I understand."

Evelina ended the call, her face set in a frosty determination. She was going to make the Langstons regret ever siding with Lemira.

Once the Langston family's wealth was drained and they hit rock bottom, she'd relish seeing Lemira lose that haughty heiress demeanor.

The next morning, Lemira was up early, waiting for Asher to show up and sign the contract.
