When They Beg I Rise (Lemira) novel Chapter 604

After being slapped, Asher’s eyes darkened for a moment before he quickly regained his composure.

But his tone was now strained. “Stella, even if Lemira didn't do it, this incident is still related to her.”

“So you think I’m blind? That I couldn’t see that little two-faced girl’s act just now?”

Stella was angry. “There’s something wrong with my leg, not my eyes.”

Asher was left speechless. Finally, he looked at Evelina. “Get over here!”

Reluctance filled Evelina’s eyes. She didn’t want to go over, nor did she want to admit she did it on purpose.

Damn it, how did that cripple see everything?

Evander stepped in front of Evelina, facing Asher. “Asher, it was my idea to let Eve wear this dress. If you’re going to blame someone, blame me. Why are you picking on Eve? Don’t forget, she saved our family.”

Evander’s guilt trip was so effective it nearly suffocated Asher.

He pointed at Evander. “Who gave you the right to speak to me like that?”

“Asher, you’re protecting Ms. Waverly, so of course, I have to protect my person.”

Evander’s attitude was self-righteous, showing no remorse. Evelina hid behind him like an ostrich.

Asher roared, “Are you two trying to kill me with anger?”

Watching this scene from the side, Lemira burst out laughing.

She never thought the boomerang would come back from Evander himself. Brilliant.

Asher turned his head to look at Lemira. “You find this funny?”

Lemira nodded. “It is pretty funny. I think Evander has a point. Evelina did do the Langston family a great service. It’s not right for you to be so aggressive.”

She hated these two-faced girls the most.

Stella stood her ground. “I don’t care. She takes that dress off right now, or this isn’t over.”

Evander cut in. “It’s just a dress. You’re going to marry Asher and become part of the family. What’s wrong with letting your sister wear a dress?”

Asher shot Evander a warning glare to shut up.

Asher was frustrated and helpless. “Stella, this is all just a misunderstanding!”

“I don’t want to hear these excuses. Either she takes off the dress now, or we break up!”

Stella's stance was resolute.
