When They Beg, I Rise!

Chapter 549

Evelina's insinuations were as clear as day.

Lemira's lips curled into a cold smirk as she spoke directly, "So, you're suggesting I misappropriated funds from the foundation's account?"

"That's not what I meant at all," Evelina replied with a smile as innocent as a lamb. "I just wanted to remind you that charity funds shouldn't be moved around lightly. It could reflect poorly on the Langston family if word got out, don't you think?"

With a wave of her hand, Evelina quickly added, "Lemmy, if I upset you, just pretend I didn't say anything, alright?"

Lemira clicked her tongue, "Oh, don't give me that. You've already said it all, haven't you? Quit pretending."

"Lemmy, I'm only doing this for your own good," Evelina insisted, her eyes growing red as she turned to Mrs. Amanda. "You were there at the bake sale, right? You should know how much we raised."

Mrs. Amanda nodded, "Of course I do, but what does that have to do with Lemira verifying her funds today?"

Evelina hadn't expected Mrs. Amanda to stand by Lemira so staunchly. Wasn't she even a little suspicious of this troublemaker?

Sophia glanced at Lemira and said, "Verifying funds might mean the account is frozen for a few days."

It was a precaution to prevent anyone from borrowing money just to verify funds, only to transfer it out after getting their membership card.
