When They Beg I Rise (Lemira) novel Chapter 659

Lemira heard the man's low voice next to her ear.

Orion had been standing by her side, defending her from the very beginning.

This man's words carried significant weight.

At the very least, Lemira saw the expressions on both Mrs. Amelia and Mrs. Waverly's faces change; Mrs. Amelia, in particular, almost lost her composure.

Mrs. Amelia's smile was stiff. "Orion, what are you saying? It was just a silly squabble between children. There's no need to blow it out of proportion."

Mrs. Amelia thought that given their families' relationship, Orion wouldn't actually help Lemira hold the Sinclairs accountable.

Mrs. Waverly also tried to smooth things over. "That's right. After all, Mrs. Amelia and your mother are such good friends. You should show her some respect."

Orion's tone was dismissive. "Business is business."

Lemira noticed that after he said this, the way people were looking at Mrs. Amelia had changed, their eyes now filled with a mixture of curiosity and schadenfreude.

In the end, Mrs. Amelia had no choice but to turn to Lemira, her eyes soft and pleading. "Ms. Langston, I know Susanna is not blameless in this. I promise I will discipline her when I get home. For now, please allow me to apologize to you on her behalf?"

Mrs. Amelia naturally had a gentle, fragile appearance. Now with tears welling in her eyes and a pleading tone, she looked like someone who could melt any heart.

Lemira had been poisoned to death by a two-faced schemer in her past life; this time around, she was immune to their tricks.

She replied directly, "There's no need for you to apologize, Mrs. Amelia. We'll simply let the consequences play out as they should."

Mrs. Amelia's expression froze for a moment. She hadn't expected Lemira to be so disrespectful. What an upstart, daring to oppose the Sinclair family just because she had Orion backing her?
