When They Beg, I Rise!

Chapter 568

"Thaddeus is definitely going to clear things up with her aunt," Orion reassured.

Lemira raised an eyebrow, puzzled. "What's Thaddeus's aunt got to do with this?" "Thaddeus's aunt married into the Waverly family and now runs everything over there," Orion explained, breaking down the Waverly family tree for her.

Lemira had always assumed Stella was the rightful heir to the Waverly legacy, but it turned out the second wife and her family had taken control of everything.

"I thought Asher had invited Stella's stepmother today, but it turns out it's Edith."

"Stella's stepmother, from what I've heard, comes from a modest background. She rarely socializes and spends her days at home with the kids, not involving herself in the company's affairs—let alone Stella's issues."

Lemira nodded, understanding that a widowed stepmother with little influence wouldn't have much say in Stella's matters.

Halfway through their meal, Lemira's phone buzzed incessantly.

She glanced at it-Asher was calling. "I bet he's found out I'm in Bistrova too," she said.

Orion looked at her thoughtfully. "See what he wants."

Asher's voice came through, "Lemira, I heard you're in Bistrova. I invited Mrs. Waverly for dinner to discuss the foundation. You should
