When They Beg I Rise (Lemira) novel Chapter 614

As far as he was concerned, Asher was not a suitable choice.

Lemira actually felt the same way.

Just then, Orion's car pulled up to the curb.

He took Lemira's hand and guided her into the car.

Lemira glanced back at Mrs. Waverly's car. "Didn't the Waverlies investigate Asher's character or the situation with the Langston family before?"

"Because the Langstons have always lived in Sodas. Even if they investigated, all they would find are rumors about your bad reputation."

Orion turned to look at her. "As for character, if a man wants to hide his true self, you'll never see it."

But he regretted the words as soon as they left his mouth.

Lemira raised an eyebrow. "You're right, Mr. Everhart. You seem to know yourself quite well."

Orion was at a loss for words. Did he just shoot himself in the foot?

He answered, lacking confidence, "I... at least I wasn't trying to leech off a family fortune."

"Is that because you were afraid I was after your family's power and status?"

"What's there to be afraid of? As long as you promise not to be angry and not to break up with me, I can have all my assets transferred to your name, and we'll share everything after we're married."

Heat rose to Lemira's cheeks as she retorted awkwardly, "Who wants to marry you? I want to break up with you."

Hearing the word "breakup" again, Orion fell silent.

He didn't answer. No matter what, he wouldn't agree.

Lemira turned to look out the window, her gaze falling on his reflection. Her heart felt heavy, as if stuffed with cotton.

But right now, she couldn't just let go of the fact that he had deceived her.

The car arrived outside the university.

Lemira opened the door and walked away without looking back.

Orion could only watch her retreating back, rubbing his temples in frustration. He loosened his tie and unbuttoned the top of his shirt.

It seemed he had a long road of coaxing ahead of him.
