When They Beg I Rise (Lemira) novel Chapter 580

Lemira smirked, "That's actually a pretty good plan. Once the estate is divided, Evander can take his share and start a new life elsewhere, living quite comfortably."

Asher shot her a glare, "Lemira, why are you stirring things up here?"

"I'm not stirring anything. I mean, Evelina is just a Langston in name, she doesn't really have a claim to the family assets. If she marries Evander, they'll have shared marital assets and it'll fulfill Evander's wishes."

Lemira's grin widened, "It's a win-win situation."

Evander's face lit up, "Exactly, that's exactly how I feel."

"The assets can't be divided now, at least not until the company goes public," Asher said, clearly perturbed by the idea of splitting the estate.

Evelina quickly chimed in, "Evander, Asher's company is in a critical phase for going public. Any distractions could impact that. We don't need to rush into anything; we've got time."

For now, they needed to stall Evander.

Asher gave Evelina a grateful look, "Exactly, once the company goes public, and after a year or so, we can discreetly end the adoption without raising eyebrows."

Though he wasn't ready to fully endorse Evelina and Evander's relationship, he was willing to play for time.

Aside from Evander, everyone else seemed content with the plan.

Lemira stood up, "I'm starving, let's eat."

The drama had been entertaining, but now it was time to fill her stomach.

Everyone else seemed too preoccupied to think about food.

Evander sat next to Evelina, serving her food with a display of affection that was hard to miss.

Asher's mood soured at the sight.
