When They Beg I Rise (Lemira) novel Chapter 607

Lemira could see that Asher was now annoyed with Evelina.

After all, Evelina’s stunt with the dress today had offended Ms. Waverly.

Lemira hadn't expected Evelina to hand over such a perfect opportunity, which Stella happened to witness.

She had initially worried that Stella would be bullied by the “two-faced” girl, but it turned out Stella was quite a fighter herself.

It took Asher a long moment to force out a response. “We will be annulling the adoption soon. Then Evelina will have no connection to our family.”

“But you haven't annulled it yet, have you? If word of this gets out, it will bring shame to the Waverly family as well. People might even think Evelina is involved with both of you brothers.”

Stella’s words were blunt.

Given her status, if she had to tolerate being bullied by a two-faced girl, she would never have survived in the Waverly family this long.

Asher gritted his teeth. “I’ll handle it.”

At that moment, Evelina burst into tears. “Asher, I’ve long said that now that I’m an adult, I can move out of the Langston home to avoid causing gossip.”

Stella scoffed. “Your legs are your own. If you want to leave, who’s stopping you?”

Evelina was taken aback and lowered her head, sobbing pitifully.

Evander was heartbroken and snapped, “You haven’t even married into the family yet. What gives you the right to throw your weight around here?”

“I want nothing to do with people like you.”

With that, Stella turned and left the private room.

Asher’s expression changed dramatically. He looked back at Evelina and Evander. “I’ll deal with you two when I get back!”

Asher rushed out after her.

Lemira was a little worried about Stella, but after seeing the look Stella gave her, she sat back down.

Evelina was also puzzled. She looked at Lemira. “How do you know that?”

“The Caspian incident. I called a press conference, but the Waverlies shut it down. At that time, Asher admitted it himself.”

Lemira didn’t mention that it was Matthew Everhart who had revealed it.

Thinking of Matthew brought Orion Everhart to mind. They were actually brothers.

That made sense. Matthew’s attitude toward Orion had always been different; she should have noticed something was off.

Alaric was also shocked. “He’s marrying into their family? Did Asher agree to that?”

Given Asher’s prideful nature, how could he accept such an arrangement?

Lemira’s lips curled into a cold smile. “But the Langston family is nothing compared to the Waverlies. What else could he do?”

Evander spoke up indignantly. “But Ms. Waverly is a cripple. What gives her the right?”
