When They Beg, I Rise!

Chapter 567

Lemira not only spotted Mrs. Amanda, but she also noticed that Sophia was standing right there beside her.

Orion felt a chill run down his spine the moment he heard the name.

He turned his head, and sure enough, there was his stepmother with Sophia, both appearing at the entrance of the Bistrova Café.

Orion's gaze lingered for a moment before he turned back to Lemira. "Let's just enjoy our meal."

He had already made it very clear to his stepmother and Sophia. He had never agreed to the engagement with Sophia before, and now, with Lemira in his life, he certainly wasn't going to agree.

Lemira followed Orion back into their booth.

She thought for a moment and said, "With the supplier bribery scandal, and the charity foundation led by Ms. Sinclair facing backlash, the Langston family might be in hot water."

That's exactly why Asher had arranged to meet with the Waverlies today for dinner.

Orion was aware of the situation. "Don't worry. Since everyone's getting dragged into this mess, what right do they have to look down on the foundation that Uncle and Aunt started?"
