When They Beg I Rise (Lemira) novel Chapter 641

Asher shot Evander a glare. "Shut your mouth. Lemira is a Langston, too."

Hearing this, Evelina felt a murderous surge of jealousy.

That bitch Lemira had cut ties with the family. How could she still be considered a Langston?

Lemira snatched the invitation back from Susanna's hand. "Now that you've had a good look, give it back."

Susanna felt a pit in her stomach. She had already examined the invitation; it was real, and the name hadn't been altered.

Spotting Evelina, Susanna's tone dripped with contempt. "The Langston family is qualified to receive an invitation?"

Evelina smirked. "Of course. Asher was personally invited by Mrs. Waverly herself."

"Tsk, tsk. A family of new money."

Susanna stormed off. She was determined not to let that bitch Lemira off the hook at tonight's party.

Lemira held up her invitation. "See? I received an invitation, too."

Looking at the invitation, Asher guessed Stella had sent it. He hadn't realized their relationship was so close; his own connection with Stella had cooled significantly recently.

After a moment of silence, he said, "Since you're here tonight, no matter what, your last name is still Langston. If my relationship with the Waverlys improves, it will benefit you as well."

Lemira's eyes glinted with sarcasm. "Absolutely not!"

She had no intention of saving face for the Langstons. After all, things were bound to get ugly later.

Evander said angrily, "Asher, you promised you wouldn't let Lemira come to the party."

Evelina added tearfully, "Asher, I told you I wanted that dress, and you said you couldn't get it, but today Lemira is wearing it. I know I'm not your biological sister, but you didn't have to lie to me, Asher."

Asher's temples throbbed with anger. "Lie to you about what? If Lemira can wear that dress, it's because she earned it!"

He had to admit, Lemira was far more accomplished than Evelina now.
