When They Beg I Rise (Lemira) novel Chapter 656

Orion's tone was frigid. "Mrs. Draven, you're mistaken again. Lemira didn't seduce me. I was the one trying to seduce her."

Lemira nearly choked on his words.

How could he say something like that out loud?

Mrs. Grace Draven was finally speechless, but she still muttered under her breath, "Well, they're all Langstons. What kind of decent daughter can they produce? Raised without parents, no wonder she has no manners."

Hearing this, Lemira's face instantly hardened. "Evelina isn't my parents' daughter. She was adopted."

Mrs. Grace Draven shot back bluntly, "It's all the same, isn't it? What's the difference?"

"There's a huge difference."

Orion's eyes grew colder. "My girlfriend's parents raised her, not Evelina. Of course it's different. It's like if Mr. Draven had an illegitimate child outside of your marriage. You wouldn't have raised him, so would that be the same?"

Orion's direct mention of an illegitimate child made Mrs. Grace Draven's face change color.

But she didn't dare say another word. The matter of the illegitimate child was a huge embarrassment, something she was trying to handle quietly. It would be a disaster if it became public.

"Yes, yes, you're right, it's different. It's always different when you have a man to protect you."

Mrs. Grace Draven said sarcastically, unwilling to concede defeat.

Orion's gaze turned even colder. "Then perhaps you should reflect on why Mr. Draven doesn't protect you? Is it because you secretly targeted his illegitimate child and arranged a car accident to try and kill him?"

As soon as he said that, Mr. Draven, who had been hiding in the background, finally rushed out and started yelling at his wife. "So you really did arrange that car accident, you venomous woman!"

"So what if I did? Does that bastard child of a mistress deserve to be part of the Draven family?"

Mrs. Grace Draven screamed back.

The middle-aged man slapped her across the face, but she fought back immediately, and the two started brawling.

One spectacle had turned into another.
